Paris & Marseille: Beauties of France
In Paris, the City of Light mesmerizes with timeless attractions and romantic ambiance. The journey would start at the Eiffel Tower, continue along the Champs-Élysées to the Arc de Triomphe, and allow art lovers to marvel at masterpieces in the Louvre, including the Mona Lisa, or explore the Musée d’Orsay for Impressionist gems. To then stroll through the historic Montmartre district, visit the majestic Notre-Dame Cathedral, and have a picnic in the Luxembourg Gardens. For a taste of the true Parisian way of life, sip coffee at a sidewalk café and browse boutiques in Le Marais. In addition, a day trip to Versailles offers regal grandeur to the itinerary.
In Marseille, France's oldest city and gateway to the Mediterranean, visitors encounter a dynamic blend of history and culture set amidst nature. Start at the Old Port, or Vieux-Port, with fishing boats bobbing next to lively cafés. Reach panoramic views over the city and sea from Notre-Dame de la Garde. Colorful alleys abound in Le Panier, Marseille's oldest neighborhood, while La Major Cathedral and La Cité Radieuse, designed by Le Corbusier, stand as magnificent works of architecture. One can spend their days hiking or taking boats through the visually stunning Calanques National Park, while gourmands feast on local delicacies such as bouillabaisse. With its ideal blend of grit and glamour, Marseille presents an authentically French experience.
