10 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.

Do some cultural sightseeing at 1st Arrondissement and Briare aqueduct Pont-canal de Briare. Get some historical perspective at Avenue de Champagne and Lochnagar Crater. Change things up with these side-trips from Paris: Rouen (Square Verdrel, Cathedrale Notre-Dame de Rouen, &more), Blois (Escalier Denis Papin & Chateau Royal de Blois) and Orleans (Orléans Cathedral & Musee Memorial des enfants du Vel d'Hiv). There's still lots to do: take in the spiritual surroundings of Abbaye Saint-Jean-des-Vignes, do a tasting at Veuve Clicquot-Ponsardin, get a sense of history and politics at Hotel de Ville, and expand your understanding of the military at Le Ravin du Loup 2.
