Celebrated sites, fresh views

For those who've dreamed of them - and those who think they know them
  • Alternative to the classic bus tour

 

Eternity overwhelms at Notre-Dame. Drumbeats vibrate from the Arch of Triumph's sculptures. Sex and money at the Opéra... the Louvre, the Invalides, the Champs Elysées...

 

We drive past the monuments via their most dramatic angles, learn their deepest interest, discover the great persectives, pass sites that are spectacular and little-known, stop freely.

 

 
Architecture from every epoch

For the full-day tour, what about lunch? We may stop at an open-air market, choose a "déjeuner sur l'herbe" to enjoy in an 18th-century park or pause in refined restaurant next to a favorite site (the picnic is included in the reasonable price and the restaurant is to discover).
