Itinerary
Discover why Paris deserves its title of "City of Light" during the winter season. During this private tour, your Guide will take you to explore the most magical neighborhoods, away from the crowds. Your stroll will begin on the prestigious Place Vendôme, which shines with a thousand lights with its majestic fir trees. You will cross the elegance of the Palais Royal before diving into the secret Paris of the 19th century: the Covered Passages. You will particularly admire the Galerie Vivienne, famous for its glass roof and superb decorations. To warm up, enjoy a typically Parisian break: a freshly made crepe, accompanied by mulled wine with spices or hot chocolate. Your stroll will continue in front of the illuminated Garnier Opera. The grand final will take place on the Grands Boulevards, where you can admire the spectacular animated Christmas windows of Galeries Lafayette and Printemps.
