Highlights

Escape Paris for a day and dive into French history and fairytale landscapes! This private tour takes you to the elegant Château de Compiègne, once a royal and imperial residence, filled with neoclassical grandeur. Then explore the breathtaking Château de Pierrefonds — a romantic, medieval-style castle rebuilt in the 19th century, straight out of a fantasy film. After lunch in the charming village of Pierrefonds, enjoy a relaxing visit to the medieval town of Senlis. Walk along its cobbled streets, see the impressive Gothic cathedral, and soak in the authentic small-town atmosphere. Travel in comfort with your personal English-speaking driver-guide. Perfect for history lovers and castle dreamers!

About Paris

Paris pairs grand boulevards and riverside monuments with café terraces, art collections of global stature and neighbourhoods that feel like villages.

The Seine runs through the heart of the city, past the Île de la Cité with Notre-Dame and the Sainte-Chapelle, the long façade of the Louvre and the Musée d'Orsay in its former railway station. Downriver, the Eiffel Tower rises over the Champ de Mars, and the Arc de Triomphe crowns the Champs-Élysées.

Top-ranked sights in Paris: Louvre Museum, Eiffel Tower, 4th Arrondissement.
