France

Paris Escape

Five unhurried nights in the heart of the City of Light — cafés, museums, markets and that first-step-out-the-door feeling.

The Trip

Paris, at your own leisurely pace

Some cities you visit; Paris you settle into. This five-night escape gives you a comfortable hotel right in the center of the city, leisurely mornings over coffee and a warm croissant, and whole days to wander between grand boulevards, hidden courtyards and the banks of the Seine. There's no rushing from sight to sight — just enough structure to feel oriented, and plenty of room to follow your own curiosity.

Paris is magical in every season, but there's something especially enchanting about it at the holidays — twinkling department-store windows, glowing arcades and the great stores dressed for winter. Your package includes department-store discount cards and a map of the city, so a little shopping is part of the fun whenever you choose to travel. Go in spring for blossom along the river, in autumn for golden light, or in December for that storybook glow.

Day by Day

Your day-by-day journey

A sample rhythm for five nights in Paris — yours to reshape around the pace and interests you love most.

1
Paris

Arrival & first evening

Fly from Los Angeles to Paris, where a private transfer whisks you from the airport to your hotel in the heart of the city. Settle in, then step out for a gentle first stroll and a relaxed café dinner. There's no agenda tonight — just the hum of Paris waking up around you.

Paris

Iconic Paris

Spend the day with the postcard views. Take in the Eiffel Tower from the lawns of the Champ de Mars, then follow the Seine past the Trocadéro and the elegant bridges of the Left Bank. As the light softens, the tower begins to sparkle on the hour — the perfect first-night-in-Paris moment.

3
Paris

Art & history

Devote the morning to the Louvre, choosing a wing or two rather than trying to see it all. Afterward, cross to the Île de la Cité to wander the medieval heart of Paris and admire the Notre-Dame quarter and Sainte-Chapelle. Wind down with a riverside walk and a glass of something local.

4
Paris

Montmartre & markets

Climb the village lanes of Montmartre to Sacré-Cœur for sweeping rooftop views, then browse the artists' square and tucked-away boutiques. In the afternoon, put your department-store discount cards to good use among the grand magasins and neighborhood markets. Pack light — you may not arrive home that way.

5
Paris & beyond

Day-trip option

Today is yours to go a little further. Take the short trip out to the Palace of Versailles for its gilded halls and endless gardens, or stay in the city for a leisurely Seine cruise past the great monuments. Either way, return in time for one last special Parisian dinner.

Paris

Departure

Enjoy a final breakfast and perhaps one last walk to a favorite corner you've discovered. A private transfer returns you to the airport for your flight home to Los Angeles — already, no doubt, planning your return to Paris.

Good to Know

Little things that make it easy

A few highlights that set the tone for an unhurried Paris escape.

Stay in the center

A hotel in the heart of Paris means the great sights, cafés and shops are mostly a walk or a short Métro ride away.

Magical year-round

Spring blossoms, golden autumn light or storybook holiday windows — we'll help you pick the season that suits you.

Shaped around you

Add a Versailles day, a cooking class or a few extra nights — your advisor tailors every detail before you go.
