Food & Drink Shopping Activities Outdoor
Best Luxury Experience
Visit the atelier of Boucheron.

Frederic Boucheron was the first jeweller to open a shop on Place Vendôme, and the company's diamonds, watches, and perfumes still pioneer the luxury trail.

Best Way To Spend A Morning If That's All You Have
Walk along the Seine to the Eiffel Tower.

You'll pass the Tuillerie Gardens. If you have time, take a boat ride.

Best Place To Take The Kids
Go behind the scenes at the city's best pastry shops with Paris Privé.

Kids can make their own chocolate and bake bread with their name stamped into it.

Best Day Trip
Monet's house at Giverny.

You'll recognize the lily pads floating in the Japanese garden. The boat he sat in while painting them is still there, too.

Recommended Tour
Ride along the Seine with Paris Vision or CityRama.

The guides sure know their stuff, and by the end, you will, too.
