CDG Airport Transfer with Giverny, Crepe Tasting and Seine River Cruise

From Charles de Gaulle to Monet's Gardens, the Seine, and a taste of Paris in one unforgettable day.


This CDG Airport transfer with Giverny tour and Seine River cruise is designed for travelers who want to make every hour count between arrival and their next destination. Your expert driver collects you directly from Charles de Gaulle Airport and guides you through a carefully sequenced day that combines authentic Parisian food culture, a scenic river cruise, and a visit to one of France's most celebrated artist villages.

The Seine River has long been called Paris's most beautiful avenue, flowing through the heart of the city past landmarks that define French civilization. A one-hour cruise from the foot of the Eiffel Tower takes you past the Assemblee Nationale, Invalides, Musee d'Orsay, Institut de France, and Notre Dame de Paris, with onboard commentary available in 14 languages.

Crepes are woven into everyday Parisian life, and a tasting stop near the Eiffel Tower gives you a genuine introduction to this street food staple. Both savory options, including seafood, ham, and cheese, and sweet varieties such as Nutella are available, made with organic flour and fresh fillings.

The afternoon takes you roughly 80 kilometers northwest of Paris to the village of Giverny, where the Impressionist painter Claude Monet lived and worked until his death. Wandering through his reconstructed house and the famous water garden, you begin to understand the source of his obsession with light, color, and reflection. An audio guide accompanies your visit so you can move at your own pace through the property.
