Itinerary

Day 1 Welcome to Paris!

Arrive in Paris and be transferred to your hotel.  Your first night in the City of Light begins. Pick out a cafe to try local pastries in the nearby shopping district, pick up a bottle of French wine, or wander through the streets of Paris, window shopping and preparing for your first full day.

Day 2 Paris

Indulge in a delightful Parisian breakfast, then spend the day sightseeing, using your included 48-hour Tootbus Hop-on//Hop-off Tour, including a Seine River cruise. As a fun introduction to the city, you can see all the highlights of Paris and hop off to explore at any point!

Day 3 Paris

Continue seeing the city using your Hop-on/Hop-off tour pass today! 

Walk through the manicured lawns and magnificent statues that adorn the Jardin du Luxembourg. Then, walk toward the River Seine and over one of the many beautiful bridges.

Day 4 Paris - Chantilly

Pick up your car and drive to your chateau hotel in Chantilly. A commune in the valley of the Nonette in the northern region of France, it is surrounded by Chantilly Forest which has a very dense network of forest roads that are wonderful for walking.

Day 5 Chantilly

With so many riding trails, you might want to take a look at the historic Grandes Ecurises, or the Grand Stables which was built between 1719 and 1740 to house 240 horses and over 400 hounds. These stables now house the Musee Viviant du Cheval and showcases rid...

Day 6 Chantilly

Make sure to visit Chantilly's twice-weekly opan-air market, which is excellent for picking up picnic supplies and food. With such lush surroundings, a picnic overlooking a castle is almost a must.

If the days aren't quite right for a picnic, you could also visit local restaurants, many of which serve up local specialties with vintage atmospheres. 

Day 7 Depart Chantilly

Grab one last photo of the stunning castles and grounds, pick up your souvenirs, drop off your car rental and bid farewell as you catch your flight home.
