7 days in Paris Itinerary

A beautiful and romantic city fit for any itinerary, Paris brims with historic associations and remains vastly influential in the realms of culture, art, fashion, food and design.

You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at Ile Saint-Louis and Champagne Alain Mercier et Fils. Do your shopping at Saint Germain des Pres Quarter and Berthillon. Change things up with these side-trips from Paris: Chateau de Fontainebleau (in Fontainebleau), Chartres Cathedral (in Chartres) and Chateau of Coucy (in Coucy-le-Chateau-Auffrique). The adventure continues: identify plant and animal life at Le Bois des Aigles, explore the world behind art at Musée des impressionnismes Giverny, wander the streets of Trocadero, and take in the architecture and atmosphere at Cathédrale Saint-Gervais-et-Saint-Protais de Soissons.
