• Cruise Terminal Le Havre - The day begins directly at Le Havre cruise terminal, where the driver awaits at the exit holding a sign bearing the guest’s name. Guests step off the ship and straight into one of the most remarkable days available from any cruise port in France — no transfers, no confusion, no stress. The driver briefs guests on the day ahead as they settle into a comfortable vehicle and depart for Paris, one of the world’s great bucket-list destinations.
• Place du Trocadéro et du 11 Novembre - Guests stand on the most celebrated viewpoint in Paris — the Trocadéro esplanade, where the Eiffel Tower rises directly across the Seine in the panoramic perspective featured on every postcard, film and travel photograph of the city for over a century. Built for the 1937 World Exhibition, the Palais de Chaillot frames the view on either side with its sweeping symmetrical wings, golden statues and cascading fountains leading down to the river. The guide explains the history of this extraordinary urban perspective and points out details of the tower’s ironwork visible only from this distance.
• Eiffel Tower - Guests stand at the foot of the most iconic monument in the world — the iron structure Gustave Eiffel built in 1889 as a temporary exhibition piece for the Universal Exhibition, which became the eternal symbol of France, recognized by people everywhere. Rising 330 meters above the Champ de Mars, it was the tallest man-made structure in the world for 41 years and remains the most visited paid monument on the planet, welcoming over 7 million visitors every year. The guide brings to life the extraordinary story of its construction, its near-demolition in 1909 and its transformation into the defining image of Paris — before guests explore the Champ de Mars gardens and capture photographs that will stay with them forever.
  If guests wish to go up the Eiffel Tower, they should let the operator know at booking so the itinerary can be adjusted accordingly. A minimum of two hours is required for the visit, including security checks and elevator queues.
• Louvre Museum - Guests stand before the most visited art museum in the world — the former royal palace of French kings from Philippe Auguste in 1190 to Louis XIV in 1682, today housing over 35,000 works including the Mona Lisa, the Venus de Milo and the Winged Victory of Samothrace. The iconic glass pyramid designed by I.M. Pei, inaugurated in 1989, rises from the Cour Napoléon in a breathtaking dialogue between eight centuries of royal architecture and contemporary design. The guide brings the full story of the Louvre to life — what it was, what it became, and why it remains the greatest museum on earth.

If guests wish to spend more time in the Louvre, this is of course possible, but the itinerary will need to be adjusted. This tour is fully customizable.

• Champs-Elysees - Guests walk the most famous avenue in the world — 1.9 kilometers of perfectly straight boulevard from the Place de la Concorde to the Arc de Triomphe, lined with chestnut trees, luxury boutiques and the most celebrated addresses in French history. The guide tells the story of an avenue that began as a royal promenade in 1616, became the ceremonial axis of Napoleon’s Empire and reached its defining moment on August 26, 1944, when Charles de Gaulle walked its entire length under sniper fire to announce the liberation of France to two million Parisians.
• Arc de Triomphe - Guests stand at the foot of Napoleon’s monument to the Grande Armée — 50 meters of stone at the center of twelve converging avenues, where the names of 128 battles and 660 generals are engraved on the walls and the eternal flame of the Unknown Soldier has burned without interruption since 1923. The guide brings the full sweep of French history to life here — from the Revolution to the Liberation of Paris in 1944, when General de Gaulle walked through the arch to the sound of gunfire still echoing from the rooftops above.
• Cathedrale Notre-Dame de Paris - The driver can stop at the famous Cathédrale de Notre-Dame upon the customer’s request.
• Cruise Terminal Le Havre - At the end of an extraordinary day in Paris, the driver brings guests back to Le Havre cruise terminal comfortably and on time. With over 15 years of experience organizing tours for travelers arriving by sea, the operator monitors the ship’s schedule throughout the day and guarantees a return before the agreed time. Guests simply sit back, enjoy the journey through the Normandy countryside and carry home the memories of an unforgettable day in the City of Light.
