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.

Give yourself a bit of retail therapy at Berthillon and Galeries Lafayette Paris Haussmann. Step out of the city life by going to Paris Plage and Ile Saint-Louis. Get out of town with these interesting Paris side-trips: Chateau de Fontainebleau (in Fontainebleau), Chateau of Coucy (in Coucy-le-Chateau-Auffrique) and Chartres Cathedral (in Chartres). There's much more to do: learn about winemaking at Champagne Dom Caudron, take in the spiritual surroundings of Saint Germain des Pres Quarter, steep yourself in history at Abbaye Saint-Jean-des-Vignes, and take a stroll through Le Marais.
