Visions of Paris come to life during a three-night stay that stars you and your family at landmark sights
like the Eiffel Tower! We thank Caroline, age 12, for the “word art” impressions of her trip to Paris and London.
Day 6 – A golden palace & a scavenger hunt at the Louvre Standing about an hour outside of Paris, Château de Versailles, one of the most extravagant palaces in Europe, virtually glitters with gold! During a guided tour this morning, you won’t be surprised to learn that Louis XIV spent a lot of money building this royal residence – it would cost more than $2 billion to build today. Hear stories about life in the palace, stroll through its beautiful formal gardens, and have lunch at a café. After lunch, return to Paris where you’ll discover the treasures of the Musée du Louvre on a fun-filled guided scavenger hunt tour with your family and friends. Meals BL
Day 7 – Visit Notre Dame & meet artists in Montmartre Built on the site of a Roman temple, Notre Dame has been witness to the greatest events in Parisian history from its perch in the heart of the Ile de la Cité and the River Seine since the 12th century. You’ll have a chance to tour this majestic Gothic cathedral with a local expert today, seeing the grotesque gargoyles that peer down from ledges on the façade of the building, as well as the bell tower made famous by Quasimodo in The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Then it’s off for a visit to hilltop Montmartre, where for centuries street artists have flocked to draw, paint and sketch under the shadow of the white-domed Sacré-Coeur Basilica. A guided walking tour offers an opportunity to see them at work. Enjoy free time to explore this afternoon before our farewell dinner. Your family’s tale of two cities ends in the morning, but your memories won’t! Meals BD

Something that inspired me was the Greek gods’ sculptures (to learn more) and the Montmartre painters (to never give up my love for the arts).
