Paris
Paris, the ‘City of Lights', is one of the world's truly great cities. The River Seine, lifeblood of the city, splits it neatly in two, flowing past the Ile de la Cité and the famous cathedral of Notre Dame. The history and culture of Paris can also be discovered throughout its distinctive districts. The village atmosphere of hilly Montmartre with its elegant landmark the Sacre Coeur; the Marais district and its winding streets that evoke medieval Paris; and the grand 19th century boulevards that dominate so much of the city.
Paris has so much to offer with its huge variety of heritage, architecture and culture, from the grace of the Louvre Museum, to the ultra modern Opera de la Bastille; from the wondrous Eiffel Tower, to the Champs-Elysées headed by the Arc de Triomphe. All this, together with wonderful restaurants and some of the best shopping in the world make Paris an unmissable place to visit.
This map represents one of the sample itineraries we offer in this region.
Our 12 passenger
Savoir Faire either begins or ends its cruise each week in the heart of Paris. During the summer months it will cruise between this incredible city and
Burgundy and in the months of August and September she will cruise instead to the east into the renowned Champagne region. But the highlight of every itinerary is still the evening cruise through the centre of Paris past the floodlit Eiffel Tower and the magnificent Notre Dame.
Many people choose to visit Paris before or after their cruise, a visit in contrast to the peace and relaxation of the cruise itself. This is why the crew of our ultra deluxe flag ship,
La Renaissance, pick you up and drop you off in the heart of Paris, a transfer by air conditioned mini bus included in the price of the cruise.
If you want only the very best, with extra large cabins and additional luxury facilities, then the 8 passenger
La Nouvelle Etoile cruises through Paris on several different weeks throughout the year as it travels its variety of routes across Europe.
And the stylish 12 passenger
Panache offers cruises to and from Paris in late Spring.
