10 days in Paris Itinerary

A beautiful and romantic city fit for any itinerary, Paris brims with historic associations and remains vastly influential in the realms of culture, art, fashion, food and design.

Step off the beaten path and head to Fontainebleau Forest (Foret de Fontainebleau) and Chateau de Chantilly. Do some cultural sightseeing at Latin Quarter and Chateau de Fontainebleau. Change things up with these side-trips from Paris: Palace of Versailles (in Versailles), Chateau de Vaux-le-Vicomte (in Maincy) and Chartres Cathedral (in Chartres). And it doesn't end there: take a stroll through Trocadero, step off the mainland to explore Ile Saint-Louis, contemplate the long history of Eiffel Tower, and admire the masterpieces at Musee d'Orsay.
