5 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 and learn at Musee d'Orsay and Centre National d'Art et de Culture George Pompidou. Palace of Versailles and Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris are good opportunities to explore the local culture. There's still lots to do: wander the streets of Île de la Cité, shop like a local with Le Marais, step off the mainland to explore Ile Saint-Louis, and take in the architecture and atmosphere at Basilique du Sacre-Coeur de Montmartre.
