8 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.

Visiting Île de la Cité and Canal Saint-Martin will get you outdoors. Your inner history buff will appreciate Eiffel Tower and Palace of Versailles. Step out of Paris to go to Versailles and see Le Grand Trianon, which is approximately 38 minutes away. There's still lots to do: admire the masterpieces at Musee d'Orsay, wander the streets of Saint Germain des Pres Quarter, admire the striking features of Arc de Triomphe, and pause for some serene contemplation at Basilique du Sacre-Coeur de Montmartre.
