4 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.

Satisfy your inner culture vulture at Chateau de Maintenon and Latin Quarter. Step off the beaten path and head to Fontainebleau Forest (Foret de Fontainebleau) and Orléans Cathedral. You'll find plenty of places to visit near Paris: The Trianons & The Hamlet (in Versailles) and Chateau de Vaux-le-Vicomte (in Maincy). And it doesn't end there: appreciate the extensive heritage of Île de la Cité, step off the mainland to explore Ile Saint-Louis, explore the world behind art at Atelier des Lumieres, and admire the landmark architecture of Louvre Museum.
