The experience

The coach leaves Le Havre cruise port and takes a three-hour drive through Normandy to reach Paris. You'll meet your English-speaking guide in the city and spend the day moving between the major landmarks: the Arc de Triomphe at the western end of the Champs-Élysées, the Eiffel Tower viewed from Place du Trocadero, the Champs-Élysées itself, Place de la Concorde between the Tuileries and the avenue, Place de l'Opéra in the 9th arrondissement, the exterior of the newly renovated Notre-Dame de Paris, and Les Invalides with its golden dome. The itinerary may shift depending on traffic and crowds, but all these stops are covered.

Midway through the day you'll board a Seine River Cruise, where you'll see the Louvre Museum, Musée d'Orsay, Île Saint-Louis, the Palais Royal, and views of the Eiffel Tower and Notre-Dame from the water. The cruise is included and runs from a comfortable riverboat. After the day in Paris, the coach returns you to Le Havre in time for your ship's departure. The entire outing runs about 11 hours from pickup to drop-off.

Pickup happens at the cruise port itself, so there's no separate transport to arrange. Check your email 12 hours before the tour for your exact pickup time and location details. The tour requires moderate physical fitness. It involves walking between stops and standing on the coach and the riverboat. Infants must sit on an adult's lap. The tour is not wheelchair or scooter accessible.
