Itinerary Details

Your Paris adventure begins with a short introduction in a charming French cafe overlooking the Ile de la Cité, one of two quintessentially Parisian islands found on the Seine.

You will then make your way to your first stop, the stunning and iconic exterior of the famous Notre Dame. Here you will learn about the original architecture, as well as the fire and subsequent rebuilding of this impressive Gothic building. Your expert may share the story of the Hunchback and perhaps other colorful characters of the church’s past. You will move on to the nearby Church of Saint-Séverin for some architectural details, such as the notorious, spooky gargoyles found around the church.

Continuing your adventure, you will explore some of Paris’s most charming neighborhoods: the Latin Quarter and Saint-Germain-des-Prés. Here, you’ll learn about the world-renowned Paris fashion scene and French food delicacies. You’ll also hear stories about Saint-Germain-des-Prés and some of its former residents, including famed philosophers, painters, and literary celebrities.

You will then cross over the Pont des Arts, a pedestrian bridge that has been featured in many films and advertisements, and make your way to the Right Bank. Here, you will visit the famous Cour Carrée, the courtyard at the Louvre, and also the awe-inspiring Palais Royal. At both famous sites, you’ll learn some fascinating historical facts and walk in the footsteps of the Kings and Queens who once lived there.

After a morning of fun explorations across some of Paris’s main sites, you will stop at a local restaurant for a delicious French meal. This is a great opportunity for anyone in your family to ask your expert questions about what they’ve seen or any burning questions about the awe-inspiring city. Finally, you will make your way into the Louvre Museum, whose artworks are sure to spark the creative imagination of any guest. Your visit will include all of the Louvre’s most famous masterpieces, including the Mona Lisa.

After a day of adventure together across the city’s most cherished and interesting sites, your family will emerge with an unforgettable experience that has given you an overview of the best of Paris and sparked your entire family’s creativity and sense of adventure.

Any questions? You can always contact us.

You will meet your expert guide in front of the restaurant Le St André cafe which is located in the Latin Quarter, and the tour will end at the Louvre. Your confirmation email will have the exact meeting point details along with a map.

You will be expected to cover the cost of your lunch and any additional refreshments.

Unfortunately, the Louvre has recently updated their policy regarding group visits. Guests who visit the museum as part of a guided group must remain with their guide at all times, which includes exiting the museum together. If you wish to visit the museum on your own after the tour, you will be required to purchase a separate individual ticket for re-entry.

If you have one of our pre-purchased tickets, you will not be required to wait in any ticket line. There is a security checkpoint that all visitors to the museum are required to pass, and there is sometimes a line for this. Because we have advance tickets, we have access to a special ticket-holder security line, which is very short. Museum Pass holders also have access to this special line.

Carine was amazing! It’s truly incredible how efficiently she got us around the Louvre and hit the highlights - she saved us an immense amount of time. And she set things up earlier in the day/tour impeccably and covered the right level for our young daughters (and we took a lunch break when their energy was waning)! We had an incredible day!

Lindsey was an amazing tour guide! She was able to keep our teenagers engaged for the entire tour. She had a great energy and was extremely knowledgeable! Would definitely recommend this tour!

Laurent was incredible. His depth of knowledge relating to the history of art , Paris, and Notre Dame was more akin to a historian than a tour guide. This tour brought the city to life as if it were painted before you whilst walking through the streets. Our pre-teen and teenager loved the tour as did my wife and I. A memory we will all cherish. For those placing consideration into this tour, I must admit, the cost is a bit high. However, the guide's depth of knowledge, and private tour structure is where the value lies. We've been on tours where you receive some understanding of the toured location and a few cheeky stories to bring home. This tour is not that. You are enriched with the real history of the past, each puzzle piece tied to the next with great context and detail. Laurent, if you read this, thank you for your kindness, knowledge, and the commitment to your craft. The time you've spent researching and understanding the monuments, art, and city of Paris it has sparked our interest of your wonderful culture. Many thanks to you and the team at Contour. Warm regards, Joe
