PARIS – ILE DE FRANCE
Paris is a unique and vibrant city. The city of light!
It is a city for art lovers with great museums. See the world-famous Mona Lisa, admire the Musee d’Orsay’s vast collection of 19th century masterpieces, or relax in the gardens of the Musee Rodin while admiring the iconic The Kiss sculpture.
Shop till you drop. It is the mecca for fashion victims, go from famous designer stores such as Chanel to small boutiques or vintage shops.
It is also a city for foodies with colorful markets, historical cafes, and Michelin star restaurants. Just enjoy a simple baguette sandwich with ham and butter from any boulangerie!
Outside of Paris, explore Ile-de-France and the famous castles of Versailles, Vaux le Vicomte, and Monet’s house in Giverny. Have lunch at la Maison Fournaise: eat where Renoir painted one of his most famous painting Luncheon of the Boating Party, painted from the balcony of the Restaurant, today in the Phillips Collection in Washington.
