FIRST THINGS FIRST: Consider our Flight and Early Arrival Options
Your flight to Paris Airport (CDG Airport) should land on Day 1 of the itinerary — this means you should depart your home airport the day prior — your round-trip travel time on this Journey is 9 Days (8 Days, 7 Nights Land). Many of our travelers arrive a "full day early" to recover from their overnight flight — inquire with us about a pre-tour overnight hotel room in Paris. Airfare is not included. Inquire about our Business Class and Premium Economy Airfare.
CONSIDER EXPANDING YOUR JOURNEY
Expand the Journey: Consider flying into London, Edinburgh or another Euro-City for a couple of days and then take the scenic train to London and onward to Paris. Inquire with your Trip Planner.
