Detailed program


9:30am – 11:30am | Private City Drive

Your private driver and guide greet you at your hotel. You settle into your luxury vehicle. The city begins to unfold outside your window.
Over the next two hours, you admire the great icons of Paris: the Eiffel Tower, the grand Arc de Triomphe, elegant Place de la Concorde, the majestic Palais Garnier, and the glass pyramid of the Louvre Museum.
Your guide brings the city to life—explaining architecture, revolutions, royal intrigue, and modern Parisian culture. This panoramic introduction gives you essential landmarks and stories, helping you orient yourself with ease for the rest of your stay.

Comfortable. Informative. Effortless.

12:00pm – 1:30pm | Lunch with a View

You sit down in a carefully selected Parisian restaurant with open views over the city skyline.
A refined two-course menu awaits (starter and main, or main and dessert), accompanied by mineral water and coffee. The pace is relaxed. The setting is elegant but welcoming. It’s a moment to pause and savor the atmosphere of Paris from above.

2:00pm – 4:00pm | Private Walking Tour of Île de la Cité & Île Saint-Louis

After lunch, you step into the historic heart of Paris.

On Île de la Cité, the birthplace of Paris, centuries of history surround you. You walk past the Palais de Justice and enter the Conciergerie, where Marie-Antoinette was imprisoned before the Revolution.
Inside Sainte-Chapelle, you pause. Sunlight filters through towering stained-glass windows in jewel tones of sapphire and ruby. With reserved tickets arranged in advance, your entry is smooth and stress-free.
Just outside, you admire the impressive restoration of the Notre-Dame Cathedral, a symbol of resilience and continuity.

You then cross the Seine to Île Saint-Louis, a peaceful enclave once favored by 17th-century aristocrats. Cobblestone lanes. Elegant townhouses. Quiet façades that whisper stories of another era.
Your afternoon ends sweetly at Berthillon, the island’s iconic ice cream maker since 1954. A scoop in hand, you linger by the river, feeling fully immersed in Paris.
