Start your adventure in Paris with the panoramic view of the city from the top of the Tour Montparnasse. It's the tallest building in Paris with a 56th-floor observation deck where you can see the Eiffel Tower, Notre-Dame, Sacré-Cœur, and many other landmarks.
Escape the city and discover the stunning Château de Chantilly, a 16th-century castle surrounded by beautiful gardens and a large forest. You can visit the stables, the art gallery, and the Great Condé Museum, as well as taking a horse-drawn carriage ride or a boat trip on the lake.
Experience the thrill of adventure at the Parc des Buttes-Chaumont, a hilly park with waterfalls, caves, a suspension bridge, and a 32-meter tall belvedere with a breathtaking view of the city. You can also enjoy a picnic, a concert, or a movie screening in the park.
Explore the dark side of Paris at the Catacombs of Paris, an underground ossuary filled with the bones of more than six million people. You'll walk through narrow tunnels and chambers while learning about the history and symbolism of death in Paris.
Discover the medieval heart of Paris at the Île de la Cité, an island in the Seine river that harbors the Notre-Dame Cathedral, the Sainte-Chapelle, and the Conciergerie. You can also wander through the narrow streets of the Latin Quarter, enjoy a classic French meal, and browse the bookshops on the banks of the river.
Plunge into the depths of the city's infrastructure with the Paris Sewer Tour, a unique and educational experience that will take you through the tunnels and galleries of the sewage system. You'll learn about the history, engineering, and management of the sewers while following the path of wastewater from the street to the treatment plant.
End your adventure in Paris with a blast at Parc Astérix, a theme park inspired by the comic book characters Asterix and Obelix. You'll enjoy rollercoasters, water rides, shows, and attractions based on ancient Gauls, Romans, and Egyptians. Don't forget to try the park's signature food and drink, including wild boar and mead!
Paris has a comprehensive public transportation system that includes metro, bus, tram, and RER lines. You can use a Navigo pass for unlimited rides during your stay, which costs €27.80 for a week (zones 1-5). Taxis and Uber are also available, but they can be expensive and prone to traffic congestion. If you prefer biking, you can rent a Vélib bike for €5 per day, but be prepared for the hills and the traffic.
If you have more time, you can visit other landmarks and museums in Paris, such as the Louvre, the Musée d'Orsay, the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe, or the Palace of Versailles. If you have less time, you can skip some of the destinations or combine them according to your interests. Be aware that some attractions may require reservations or have long waiting times, especially during peak season.
