Paris & the Palace of Versailles

The cosmopolitan capital of France needs little introduction, thanks to its reputation as one of the most beautiful and romantic of cities in Europe. With iconic landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower, plus elegant boulevards and ornate bridges spanning the River Seine, Paris is always a delight to explore. We also discover the magnificent Palace of Versailles, one-time royal residence and now a museum of the history of France, with lavish interiors and beautiful architecture to admire too.
