Itinerary Inspiration
For those unsure of exactly what they'd like to do, below is an example Paris itinerary to ignite your imagination; another good place to start brainstorming is with a perusal of our other private and small group Paris tour options:
Paris, from Foundation to the Revolution (Estimated Cost: $2700)
Day 1
- We’ll kick off our understanding of Paris on the Ile de la Cite, the city’s first settlement. Exploring Notre Dame (from the outside), we’ll unpack how Paris grew from a remote river-outpost of the Roman Empire to a capital of Western Europe.
- Weaving across the Seine, we’ll then explore key sites of the French Revolution, seeking to unravel the tangled timeline of 1789. Sites include the Place de la Concorde, Bastille, Hôtel de Ville, Place des Vosges, Marais, and Église Saint-Paul-Saint-Louis.
Day 2
- Our second day will explore the royal history and extravagance leading up to the Revolution, with a day-long visit to the Palace of Versailles.
- Once inside the opulent summer home of Louis XIV (among others), we’ll discuss key personalities and events in the history of the monarchy while exploring Versailles Palace and Gardens, and Marie Antoinette’s Hamlet and Grand Trianon.

Was with my 12 year old granddaughter. Our guide was great, focusing on a relatively few aspects of each site - less is more!!
