Overview
Paris was, is and always will be, something rather special. So if you have an anniversary to celebrate, a family get together, want to say a thank you, or sorry to a loved one or maybe take a short break to recharge your batteries – why not take a few days with us in Paris. This inexhaustible city has something to offer everyone, whatever you are looking for.
Sightseeing? The list is endless. Arc de Triomphe, the Louvre, Champs Élysées, Sacré-Coeur, Eiffel Tower and much, much more. During the day you can visit fine shops such as the Galeries Lafayette and the smart arcaded Rue de Rivoli. Here you are only a short walk from the Louvre – home of the most well-known painting in the world, the Mona Lisa. The grandiose Place de la Concorde, largest square in the city, shows off 18th-century French architecture at its best and just over on the left bank you’ll find the Musée d’Orsay, home of the world’s finest Impressionist art collection. Then there’s the eccentrically modern and yet stylish Pompidou Centre, famous not only for its exhibits but also for street entertainment. The delicate spire of the sublime Saint-Chapelle dominates the islands in the middle of the river, while the exquisite Tuileries Gardens are perfect for a stroll and are especially spectacular in spring. But to see everything at once, why not try a trip up the Eiffel Tower?
To get the feel of Paris you will visit old Montmartre, for this is the home of the artists and street entertainers. Picturesque squares where the eaves of the houses almost touch and the unmistakable smell of fresh coffee and croissants drifts from the numerous brasseries. Paris really comes into its own at night. Quite apart from the famous hot spots like Le Moulin Rouge, Lido and Paradis Latin there are quieter and more romantic areas. If you visit the Latin Quarter, one of the oldest areas of the city, there are hundreds of restaurants and competition ensures keen prices, together with very good quality. There is so much to see and do, you will leave Paris with sore feet, but once having had a taste you will always want to come back for more. It is everything you imagine it to be, romantic, inspiring, vibrant even outrageous, but best of all Paris is unique – come with us and see.

Personalise Your Holiday
An evening at the Paradis Latin - from £69 per person
To help you enjoy your holiday to Paris even more, on your free evening we are able to arrange tickets for arguably the best cabaret in the city - the stunning Paradis Latin! The theatre itself was built by Gustave Eiffel, designer of the tower which so dominates Paris, in 1889. The present owners bought the superb old building in 1973, and after a total restoration to its former glory opened to a grateful and appreciative French nation four years later. Since then more than one and a half million visitors from all over the world, including such celebrities as: Dustin Hoffman, Omar Sharif, Shirley Bassey, Steven Spielberg, Elizabeth Taylor and Audrey Hepburn, have enjoyed this superb show. It really is the best cabaret, or ‘spectacle’ as the French call it, in Paris - a fact borne out that the full show was shown live on French television on New Year’s Eve - a rare honour, but one which indicated the quality of the performance.
After making your own way to the theatre, the evening commences with a fine three course dinner which includes half a bottle of vintage wine. Then experience the show and as the Paradis Latin caters for an international audience, you do not need to speak French to appreciate it. After the show, make your own way back to the hotel.
Discover Versailles with an audio guide and priority entry - from £36 per person
Make the most of your time in Versailles and pre-book a timed-entry visit, which provides priority admission to the magnificent palace – where you’ll find the royal apartments and Hall of Mirrors – and the outstanding gardens. You’ll receive an audio guide so you can explore at your own pace.
These experiences cannot be booked online, please contact us to pre-book or for more information.
