This day trip pairs medieval heritage with a wild safari adventure west of Paris. In Mantes-la-Jolie, the Collegiate Church of Notre-Dame — nicknamed the Little Sister of Notre-Dame de Paris — dazzles with its 9-metre rose window and rare Merklin symphonic organ, while the neighbouring Hôtel-Dieu Museum houses Europe's largest collection of Neo-Impressionist painter Maximilien Luce. From there, the day shifts to Thoiry ZooSafari, where an hour-long drive-through crosses African savanna, North American woodland, and bear territory before you continue on foot through glass tunnels running directly above lion and tiger enclosures. The church and museum are closed on Tuesdays; Thoiry is open daily April–November but only Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday in winter outside school holidays.
