WHAT TO DO IN PARIS (AND BEYOND)
💒 Sainte Chapelle
Begin your Parisian adventure with a visit to Sainte Chapelle, renowned for its stunning stained glass windows.
Or check out the Seine Cruise, Medieval Quarter, & Sainte-Chapelle Tour
🏛 Eiffel Tower
Then head over to the Eiffel Tower. You’re in Paris, baby.
🖼 Louvre
Immerse yourself in art and history at the Louvre, home to some of the world's most treasured masterpieces.
Rick Steves has a great audio tour of the Louvre. You can download the app here.
🏛 Arc de Triomphe
Then we are off to the Arc de Triomphe. You’ll get a sweeping view of the Champs-Élysées and you can hit up the shops on the way to or from.
🏰 Palace of Versailles
Embark on a day trip to the opulent Palace of Versailles, exploring its lavish interiors and gardens to match.
Rick Steves has a free audio tour of Versailles. You can download the app here.
🖼 Orsay Museum
Visit the Orsay Museum. Housed in a former railway station, it has a magnificent collection of Impressionist art. Rick Steves has a tour of this museum as well!
🖼 Rodin Museum
Next head off to the sculptures and serene ambiance of the Rodin Museum, set in beautiful gardens.
Rick does not have a tour of the Rodin ☹️ So here is a guided tour option. Or you can use the museum-offered audio guide.
👀 Montmartre
Montmartre. You can join a guided tour to uncover the stories behind the charming streets, iconic landmarks, and the iconic Sacré-Cœur Basilica. Or just enjoy the views of the city from there!
🎶 Cabaret Show
Finish off one night with a cabaret show! The classic Moulin Rouge or the new show, Crazy Horse.
💒 Mont Saint-Michel
Take a tour of the enchanting Mont Saint-Michel. A drive through the French countryside, to an abbey perched atop the rocky island, and soak in the mystical atmosphere.
This is the tour I’ll be doing: Mont Saint-Michel Small-Group Day Trip from Paris with Abbey & Cider Tasting.
You’ll also have time to take a couple of days outside of Paris if you’d like. I’d recommend London. You can see my 8-Day Paris & London Itinerary blog here. Another option would be taking the train to Amsterdam, which would also be incredible.
