Five days in Paris, from the medieval heart of the city on the Île de la Cité to the grand boulevards and iron lattice of the Eiffel Tower. The route begins at Notre-Dame and the jewel-like stained glass of Sainte-Chapelle, then moves to the Louvre — where a full day barely scratches the surface — and the formal gardens of the Tuileries. A day trip to Versailles takes in the Hall of Mirrors, the Grand Trianon, and Marie Antoinette's hamlet tucked behind manicured hedges. Back in Paris, the Champs-Élysées leads from the Arc de Triomphe down to the Orangerie's water lilies and the Petit Palais. The final day pairs the gilded dome of Les Invalides with Rodin's sculpture garden before ending at the Eiffel Tower as the city lights come on. Advance tickets for the Louvre and Versailles are strongly recommended, especially from April through October.
