Paris & the Seine

The cosmopolitan capital of France needs little introduction, thanks to its reputation as one of the most beautiful and romantic cities in Europe. With iconic landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe, plus elegant boulevards and charming pavement cafés, Paris is always a delight to explore. On this French escape there’s plenty of time to seek out the city’s hidden gems, and we also include a cruise along the picturesque River Seine to tick off the sights from a different perspective – bon voyage!
