16 days in Paris Itinerary

A beautiful and romantic city fit for any itinerary, Paris brims with historic associations and remains vastly influential in the realms of culture, art, fashion, food and design.

Appreciate the collections at Louvre Museum and Centre National d'Art et de Culture George Pompidou. Head to Champs-Elysees and Rue du Gros-Horlogefor plenty of shopping. Venture out of the city with trips to Versailles (Palace of Versailles, The Trianons & The Hamlet, &more), Chateau de Chambord (in Chambord) and Rouen (Musee des Beaux-Arts de Rouen & Cathedrale Notre-Dame de Rouen). There's still lots to do: wander the streets of Le Marais, take in the architecture and atmosphere at Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris, get to know the fascinating history of Montmartre, and step off the mainland to explore Île de la Cité.
