WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?
December 15-21, 2024 with Sarah
Christmas is a magical time in the “City of Lights” Paris! Imagine strolling through the quaint streets, lined with lights, sipping vin chaud to keep your fingers warm, and look up to see the Eiffel Tower sparkling. Intersperse these moments with holiday shopping, some off-the-beaten path sightseeing, gourmet meals, plenty of Christmas markets, and a day trip to a famous Christmas town, and you are set up for a fabulous time!
For more information, see our 2023 tour diary!
Day One
Overnight: Paris
Bienvenue a Paris
In the afternoon we meet in our centrally located hotel for a tour orientation. We will head out on a city walk to become familiar with the layout of our neighborhood, then get to know each other over our first dinner together as a group. Then your personal chartered bus will pick you up for a moonlit drive around Paris to view the city of lights in all its holiday season glory.

Day Two
Overnight: Paris
What better way to feel at home in Paris, than to spend your first morning walking around the Tour Eiffel and Rue Cler for sightseeing and shopping, then you will enjoy lunch on the Seine, floating along in your sightseeing boat. The rest of the day is yours to explore at your leisure.
Next Day
Day Three
Overnight: Paris
After breakfast, you’ll take a walking tour of the Templars to see some parts of Paris that are not a part of the usual Paris experience and learn about the city in medieval times! After lunch and a little down time, you’ll take an outside tour at Notre Dame, learn about the tragic fire that almost burnt this historic cathedral down, and then complete the experience with an archeological tour underground.
Next Day
Day Four
Overnight: Paris
Day trip on the train to a “Christmas town” not far outside of the city. Walking tour to indulge in the finest mulled wines, chocolates, and shopping before a fancy group lunch. Take a ride on the ferris wheel, if you are feeling brave! Head back into the city when all your senses have been satiated.
Next Day
Day Five
Overnight: Paris
Hope you are well rested because Paris is putting you to work! A cooking school will visit the market with you to purchase the freshest ingredients for a 4 course traditional holiday meal they will instruct you in making. When it is complete, you can enjoy the fruits of your labor for lunch with a glass of wine. Then you will head back to the hotel to relax before an evening concert (if we’re able to snag tickets to this highly popular holiday tradition!).
Next Day
Day Six
Overnight: Paris
This morning is open for you to make the most of your Paris Pass. Use it to get into major museums and other venues for free! In the late afternoon, the group will take a walking tour from your hotel to several of the best Christmas markets in Paris. Stock up on those gifts and souvenirs, marvel at the excitement and decorations, and enjoy some holiday treats. You will complete the day with your final dinner as a group.
