10 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.

Visit Eiffel Tower and Basilique du Sacre-Coeur de Montmartre for their historical value. Give yourself a bit of retail therapy at Champs-Elysees and Saint Germain des Pres Quarter. Get out of town with these interesting Paris side-trips: Versailles (Palace of Versailles & The Trianons & The Hamlet) and Arboretum de la Vallee-aux-Loups (in Chatenay-Malabry). There's much more to do: admire the masterpieces at Musee d'Orsay, browse the exhibits of Centre National d'Art et de Culture George Pompidou, make a trip to Louvre Museum, and admire the striking features of Arc de Triomphe.
