5 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.

Hotel de Ville and Chateau de Vaux-le-Vicomte will appeal to history buffs. Museum-lovers will appreciate Chateau de Fontainebleau and The Army Museum. Change things up with these side-trips from Paris: Chateau Royal de Blois (in Blois), Honfleur (Saint Catherine's Catholic Church & Plage du Butin) and Rouen (Gros-Horloge, Rue du Gros-Horloge, &more). There's lots more to do: take a stroll through 1st Arrondissement, step off the mainland to explore Ile Saint-Louis, look for all kinds of wild species at Caresse de Tigre, and get to know the fascinating history of Île de la Cité.
