WHAT YOU VISIT
The Louvre Museum
Renowned as the greatest repository of fine art in the world, the Louvre Museum is home to 70,000 pieces of art including the Venus de Milo, the Winged Victory and Da Vinci's Mona Lisa spread across over 650,000 square feet of gallery space. Originally built as a fortress in 1190, then reconstructed in the 16th century to serve as a royal palace, the Louvre became a national art museum in 1793.
PHOTO OPPORTUNITY
This full-day outing will provide camera buffs with one breathtaking photo opportunity after another.
LUNCH
Take a seat at the restaurant at the foot of the Eiffel Tower for a delicious French lunch and marvel at the tower's elaborate metal design (maybe you'll be able to count the two million rivets that hold the girders together!).
WHAT YOU SEE ALONG THE WAY
Once in your seat, your journey into the City of Lights via the motorway takes you through a landscape of city and country.
Eiffel Tower
Built for the 1889 World's Fair to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution, the 1,023-foot-tall tower was designed as a temporary structure. Today, this architectural wonder is recognized as the quintessential symbol of Paris and a celebration to the brilliance of industrial engineering.
