13 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.

Discover out-of-the-way places like Cathedrale Notre-Dame de Rouen and Fontainebleau Forest (Foret de Fontainebleau). Venture out of the city with trips to France Miniature (in Elancourt), Chateau de Vaux-le-Vicomte (in Maincy) and Versailles (Palace of Versailles & The Hall of Mirrors). There's still lots to do: admire the masterpieces at Louvre Museum, walk around Luxembourg Gardens, visit Latin Quarter, and admire the natural beauty at Jardin des Tuileries.
