A full-day private journey through Paris's most celebrated neighborhoods, the Seine River, and a world-class designer outlet.

Itinerary
Your private vehicle collects you from your Paris hotel and transfers you directly to the Montmartre district. On the way uphill, the route passes by the Moulin Rouge cabaret, recognizable by its red windmill facade.
At the summit of the Butte Montmartre stands the Basilica of the Sacre-Coeur, consecrated in 1919 in a Roman-Byzantine style. The interior ceiling features the largest mosaic in France, covering approximately 480 square metres, and the dome offers a 360-degree view over the capital. A short walk leads to Place du Tertre and the winding streets of the Abbesses neighborhood, including the historic church of Saint Pierre de Montmartre, built in 1147.
Le Marais straddles the Paris Centre arrondissement and is built on former marshland, which gives the district its name. The neighborhood is known for its museums, contemporary art galleries, historic architecture, independent boutiques, and a well-established Jewish quarter centered on Rue des Rosiers. Visitors can explore at their own pace and sample falafel from local establishments such as L'As du Fallafel.
Guests are dropped near the boat pier at Port de Bourdonnais for a one-hour cruise along the Seine. The route passes the Eiffel Tower, Assemblée Nationale, Invalides, Musee d'Orsay, Institut de France, and Notre-Dame de Paris, with onboard commentary available in 14 languages.
The final stop is La Vallee Village, located just outside Paris. The open-air outlet features more than 100 boutiques representing French and international designer brands, with reductions of 30 to 70 percent on past-season collections. International visitors are eligible to apply for a VAT refund on qualifying purchases.
At the end of the shopping session, your private vehicle returns you directly to your Paris hotel. No additional arrangements are needed for the return journey.
