Description
The adventure begins with a leisurely stroll around the historic Notre Dame Island, where each cobblestone whispers tales of centuries gone by. As you amble through the charming Place Dauphine, feel the echoes of royal history resonate in this peaceful square. Built in the 17th century during the reign of Henry IV, it remains a hidden gem, surrounded by elegant townhouses. Marvel at the Conciergerie, a former royal palace turned prison during the French
Revolution. Discover that within its walls, Marie Antoinette awaited her fate in a cell that bears witness to the turbulent times.
Continuing our walk, Notre Dame Cathedral graces the skyline, a testament to Gothic grandeur. While well view it from outside due to the restoration following the tragic fire of 2019, appreciate the iconic gargoyles and intricate façade that have inspired literature and art for centuries. Learn about the resilience displayed by Parisians and the ongoing restoration efforts that will ensure Notre Dames continued presence in the citys skyline.
Crossing the Seine, a short stroll over the left bank offers a picturesque vantage point. Here, Notre Dame Island unveils itself in all its glory and Shakespeare and Company beckons with literary charm. This renowned English-language bookstore has been a haven for writers and readers since the 1920s, hosting literary giants such as Hemingway and Fitzgerald. Explore its labyrinthine shelves and absorb the literary ambiance that has enchanted generations.
The tour takes a splendid turn with a self-guided visit of the ethereal Sainte Chapelle. Step into a kaleidoscope of color as sunlight filters through intricate stained-glass windows, depicting biblical narratives in breathtaking detail. Constructed in the 13th century, this architectural jewel was commissioned by King Louis IX to house precious relics, creating a sanctuary of unparalleled beauty.
Unravel the stories behind the vibrant hues and marvel at the Gothic architecture that elevates Sainte Chapelle to a celestial realm. Our Paris Highlights tour promises a symphony of history, culture, and beauty, leaving you with indelible memories of the citys timeless allure.

Sin palabras
Lo elegimos por las fotos y resultó incluso mejor en persona. El paisaje en Shakespeare and Company no entra en una foto. Cambiamos la fecha dos días antes y no hubo ningún problema.

Reservamos de última hora e foi um acerto. A equipe em terra foi atenciosa desde o primeiro contato. Paris foi o momento do dia. Se voltarmos a Paris, repetimos.

Nos encantó
Justo lo que buscábamos. El detalle de auriculares cuando proceda suma bastante. De lo mejor que contratamos por internet.

Ficamos com uma boa impressão. De todo o roteiro, Sainte Chapelle é o que mais lembro. A frequência entre os ônibus poderia ser melhor nas últimas paradas. Boa experiência no balanço geral.

Contentos con la experiencia, aunque no todo fue perfecto. Nos quedamos caminando por Shakespeare and Company después de la cena. El servicio fue atento sin ser invasivo. Nos hubiera gustado más variedad en el menú principal. Buena experiencia dentro de todo.
