Your Holiday Itinerary

4-Day Break

  • Day 1 – Local departure by coach then to the Paris area for a three night stay. 
  • Day 2 – Paris (included), Paris Sightseeing (optional), Paris by Night (optional). Included full day in Paris. Our optional guided sightseeing tour is the best way to see the major sights, such as the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe, the Champs Élysées, Place de la Concorde and the Cathedral of Notre Dame. For a different view of the city, we recommend our optional narrated River Seine cruise. In the evening, our optional ‘Paris by Night’ tour includes a meal plus a visit to the Montparnasse Tower, one of Europe’s tallest skyscrapers, from where you will get the most beautiful view of Paris stretching out before you. B
  • Day 3 – Versailles and Monet’s Garden (included). Included excursion beginning at the impressive Château and Gardens of Versailles (admission to château is extra – approximately €15-20 per person). Next, we visit the home and gardens of Claude Monet at Giverny in Normandy. The artist lived here from 1883 until his death in 1926 and the house and gardens, made famous by his ‘Water Lilies’ paintings, have been restored to Monet’s original designs, the gardens being considered by many to be his greatest work. Planned out meticulously so that a different colour would dominate every month, the beautiful shades and shapes ensure the gardens are a delight at any time of the year. B
  • Day 4 – To Calais then return home. B
