Day-by-Day

Day 1 · Arrive in Paris

Arrival, transfer and time to settle in

Transfer to your Paris hotel and leave the afternoon open for check-in and rest; arrival flights and transfers are planned around your actual travel dates.

An evening on the Seine

If arrival time permits, take a sightseeing cruise from the Eiffel Tower area and see Paris from the river. Sailing time and boarding point are confirmed when booking.

Day 2 · Art and performance in Paris

Louvre highlights and the Tuileries

Focus on a considered selection of galleries and works rather than filling the whole day, then pause in the Tuileries. Tickets, guiding and opening hours are checked in advance.

Afternoon tea and an evening show

Return to the hotel for afternoon tea and a rest. An evening at Crazy Horse's Totally Crazy can be arranged if it suits your party; the show contains adult nudity and seats depend on availability.
