Paris & Versailles - 7 hrs
Personal
tour with your own expert driver-guide
In the morning visit the magnificent Palace of
Versailles.
Built in the 17th century, Versailles became the
official residence of the Court of France. See the splendid
grand apartments, the Queen's Bedchamber that still looks
today as it did when Marie-Antoinette left during the
revolution of 1789, the glorious hall of mirrors and
splendid gardens laid out by Le Notre with their many
statues, fountains, pretty flower-beds and amazing topiary.
In the afternoon see the highlights of Paris with your expert driver-guide such as:- Les Champs Elysees one of the world's most famous streets, the Arc de
Triomphe built to commemorate Napoleon's victories, Hotel des Invalides, a stunning collection
of buildings, one being the church where the tomb of
Napoleon holds his remains and Notre Dame Cathedral representing
the height of the superior French Gothic architecture where
the legend of the hunchback was born.
Also see Concord where
over 1300 people were executed over 2 years, The Conciergerie where Marie Antoinette was imprisoned, Charles Garnier's exquisite Opera House, and the world renowned Eiffel Tower; built for the 1889 World's Fair the Tower
was never meant to still be here. Time permitting, take a trip to the top of the mammoth monument!
