  • PARIS LE MEURICE One Day Itinerary: Romance Paris and Romance Have Been Synonymous for Centuries
    PARIS LE MEURICE One day itinerary: Romance Paris and romance have been synonymous for centuries. While the idea of an amorous retreat to the City of Light may not be terribly revolutionary, it’s a cliché for a reason. Whether wandering in centuries-old public parks or taking a horse-drawn carriage ride through the city, couples eager for both intimacy and adventure have much to discover with this one-day itinerary. Start the day with a romantic carriage ride through the city with Paris Calèches, just 15 minutes from the hotel by taxi. PARIS CALÈCHES T: 06 62 20 24 88 | East Pillar of the Eiffel Tower, 5 Avenue Anatole France, 75007 Paris A calèche – or a private, horse-drawn carriage – is one of the lovelier ways to take in the Paris sights. For couples looking for a relaxed journey past some of the city’s most famous landmarks, like the Eiffel Tower and Champ de Mars, Paris Calèches provides an intimate way to explore (accompanied, if you so choose, by a bottle of Champagne and sweet treats). After your carriage ride, take a taxi for the 20-minute journey to the Jardin du Luxembourg. JARDIN DU LUXEMBOURG Rue de Médicis-Rue de Vaugirard, 75006 Paris Unfolding across almost 25 hectares, the magnificent Jardin du Luxembourg is one of the city’s most beloved public spaces, and has been since Marie de Medici created it in the early 17th century. Comprising English and French-style gardens, orchid-filled greenhouses, apiaries, orchards, ponds, and sculptures, the park offers plenty of space to get lost in during a romantic stroll.

  • Place Saint-Michel the Place Saint-Michel Is
    Place Saint-Michel The Place Saint-Michel is simple – a triangle between two streets, uniform buildings along both, designed by the same architect, a walk of smooth cobblestone. The centerpiece is St. Michael defeating a devil; far above them are four statues symbolizing the four cardinal virtues of prudence, fortitude, temperance, and justice. This monument came to be because of the 1848 Revolution and a cholera epidemic in Paris that followed it which killed thousands. This idea of abstract concepts given human form had been popular during the Revolution, the big one, representing the kind of big virtues – like the Four Cardinal Virtues – that everyone could strive for, instead of a single human being whose actions and legacy would turn people against each other. Simultaneous with the creation of Place Saint-Michel, Napoleon III’s renovation brought the Boulevard Saint-Michel into being, and that is the next part of our walk. Facing the fountain with the river at your back, walk on Boulevard Saint-Michel, it’s the street to your left. Walk away from the river along that street. Ultimately, you’ll be turning left on Rue des Écoles, but it’ll be about five minutes to get there, and you can listen to the next track on the way. Boulevard Saint-Michel The character of the street you’re on – wide-open space lined with trees and long, harmonious buildings, plus, often, a view of some landmark in the distance – was a central part of the renovation plan, or the Haussmann plan, as it’s also known.

You will ascend the 58-story Tour Montparnasse for the best views of Paris as the sun goes down and the lights come on in the city. Sunday, March 23rd– You’ll visit the Royal Palace of Versailles, just outside of Paris. In addition to touring the palace itself, you’ll want to visit the gardens, since Sunday is the only day the world-famous fountains are turned on. You will also have the opportunity to visit the Grand and Petit Trianon, small palaces built by the king on the grounds of Versailles in order to escape the pressures of palace life. Also not to be missed is the village-like hameau of Marie Antoinette. Later, you’ll head back to Paris for dinner and a visit to the Sacré-Coeur Basilica in Montmartre, the bohemian quarter of Paris. In Montmartre, you’ll also visit the Place du Tertre, where an artist will paint your portrait for a price.

  • Tours & Transp Or T
    With a combination of highly-frequented tourist areas and some hidden treasures, Paris is an accessible city, appreciated for its charm and pleasurable way of life. Easy to get around, the city has a user-friendly public transport infrastructure covering the whole of the capital, with an underground and bus network in constant development. A more unusual way to discover the city in style is to hire a chauffeured limousine or to have a very French tour of Paris in a 2CV, the famous Citroën convertible … Mixing transport with culture, many companies provide regular tours in Paris and in the Paris region. The River Seine constitutes an original route through Paris … and is certainly an excellent way to enjoy delightful views of the very heart of the city. Finally, incoming agencies are also an invaluable aid in helping to organize bespoke tours. They have specialist knowledge of the Paris destination and the specific characteristics of the nationalities visiting the French capital. Their expertise and resources enable them to organize all events, transport and programmes for individuals and/or groups as well as excursions, visits and other activities.

Le projet comprend : - le noyau Nord, autour du stade de France jusqu’à la porte de la Chapelle ; - le noyau Ouest, autour du bois de Boulogne tout en étant ancré sur les sites sportifs de la porte de Saint Cloud ; - à cela s’ajoutent un nombre limité de sites de compétition « hors noyaux » en région Ile de France et en province, en particulier pour les épreuves de football, ainsi que 2 sites dans le centre de Paris (Tour Eiffel et POPB). Sur chaque site, le projet s’efforce de combiner deux objectifs : permettre aux jeux de se dérouler dans les meilleures conditions pour les sportifs, les visiteurs et les spectateurs ; mais également apporter en héritage le plus de réalisations et d’embellissements pour les sites et leurs habitants.
