Private Paris Tour with CDG Airport Pick Up

We will be stopping for a photo session of the Eiffel Tower. The Eiffel Tower was built by Gustave Eiffel for the 1889 Exposition Universelle, which was to celebrate the 100th year anniversary of the French Revolution. Its construction in 2 years, 2 months, and 5 days was a veritable technical and architectural achievement. "Utopia achieved", a symbol of technological prowess, at the end of the 19th Century it was a demonstration of French engineering and a defining moment of the industrial era. As France’s symbol in the world, and the showcase of Paris, today it welcomes almost 7 million visitors a year, making it the most visited monument that you have to pay for in the world.

Our driver will accompany you to the famous glass pyramid of the Louvre museum and will explain to you from outside. Every trip to the capital deserves a visit to the Louvre to discover the wealth of treasures it contains. The museum houses Western works of art dating from the Middle Ages to 1848, in addition to collections of ancient Oriental, Egyptian, Greek, Etruscan, and Roman civilizations, as well as graphic and Islamic arts. From room to room, the former royal palace reveals its masterpieces to the public: the Mona Lisa, The Raft of the Medusa, the Venus de Milo, and The Winged Victory of Samothrace. In total, there are 35,000 works to be discovered or re-discovered! With its eight hundred-year-old history, the Louvre has been influenced by numerous architectural trends, from the medieval fortress of the 12th century to the glass pyramid by Pei (1989).

No trip to Paris is complete without a visit to the Latin Quarter in the 5th arrondissement, on the Left Bank. The area’s many cafés and restaurants are laid-back and welcoming; they are filled with Parisians, students, and tourists. There are several attractions to visit, among them the Pantheon, the Luxembourg Gardens, and many museums. As you stroll through the district you will also come across the Sorbonne, the best-known university in Paris. The district also has popular show venues like the Paradis Latin and the Théâtre de l’Odéon.

We will drive through the most beautiful avenue in the world. Frequently described as ‘the world’s most beautiful avenue’, the Avenue des Champs-Élysées is a Paris must-see. Tourists and Parisians can be spotted strolling at any time of day or night and at any time of year along this iconic two-kilometer stretch between the Place de la Concorde and the Arc de Triomphe. Like the Eiffel Tower, the avenue is a symbol of Paris. It is lined with restaurants (l’Atelier Renault, Ledoyen, etc.), luxury boutiques (Louis Vuitton, Mont-Blanc, Guerlain, Ferrari, etc.), flagship stores (Abercrombie, Sephora, etc.), and nightclubs. It is also the setting each year for major events such as the Bastille Day military parade, the arrival of the Tour de France, and the Christmas lights. Finally, the Avenue des Champs-Elysées has some of the top museums in Paris: the Grand Palais, the Petit Palais, the Palais de la Découverte, and the Espace Culturel Louis Vuitton.

We will stop for a photo break at the famous Opera of Paris also called Opera Garnier or Palais Garnier. A trip to Paris is incomplete without taking a picture at Opera Garnier. The Palais Garnier, an architectural masterpiece inaugurated in 1875 at the request of Napoleon III, is, without doubt, one of the most dazzling monuments in Paris. A world of elegance, not to be missed! A showcase for dance and opera, the building dazzles with its balconies in onyx, its luxurious marble, its delicate frescoes, and its rich gilding. A real gem in the heart of Paris. We stop here for ten minutes so that you can click some nice pictures and see that the stairs of the Opera are the most popular meeting point in Paris for locals and visitors.

We will stop here for the most amazing view of the Eiffel Tower. Situated on the opposite side of the Seine from the Eiffel Tower, Trocadéro is home to splendid gardens and ornamental ponds and fountains as well as the cultural richness of the Palais de Chaillot, the Cité de l'Architecture et du Patrimoine and the Musée de la Marine. Just behind Trocadéro is the ‘village’ of Passy with its charms of yesteryear, its church, and its cemetery where Manet and Debussy are buried.

It will take 2 hours from Airport to Attractions and vice versa.
