All the Sights
Paris has been at the centre of European politics, wealth and culture for hundreds of years. Over the centuries the successive influences of Kings and Emperors, wars and revolution, have created a hugely impressive architectural legacy and city-plan.
The tour will take you to iconic buildings such as Notre Dame, the Arc de Triomphe and the Eiffel Tower, but you will also discover a myriad of other buildings which would be a centrepiece in any other city.
You will find ornate, elegant architecture at every turn, but what most impresses is the way striking landmarks are connected and aligned through wide boulevards and open spaces, delivering some magnificent views. Paris itself is a spectacle worth seeing.
