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.

Popular historic sites such as Eiffel Tower and Saint Germain des Pres Quarter are in your itinerary. Eschew the tourist crowds and head to Chateau de Vaux-le-Vicomte and Chateau de Fontainebleau. Change things up with these side-trips from Paris: Palace of Versailles (in Versailles) and World of Disney (in Chessy). There's lots more to do: admire the masterpieces at Louvre Museum, step off the mainland to explore Ile Saint-Louis, pause for some serene contemplation at Chapelle Notre Dame de la Medaille Miraculeuse, and pause for some photo ops at Arc de Triomphe.
