The notion that Paris is always a good idea may feel exaggerated, but the fact is that a trip to the City of Light never disappoints. Perhaps that’s because it has all the elements of cosmopolitan capital—Michelin-starred restaurants, legendary palace hotels and some of the chicest concept shops you’ll find anywhere in the world. No other does it with quite the same attitude and conviction as Paris. As in Rome or London, when walking its cobblestoned streets for hours (no matter the arrondissement), it’s hard not to be dazzled by the architecture, the views along the seine and the history all around you. Just like a Chanel suit, Paris is forever iconic.
Work with Indagare to design the perfect itinerary for an immersive journey. Our travel experts know the destination inside and out, and they can make recommendations based on your travel needs and preferences.
The iconic capital is arguably the world’s most romantic city. Indagare can arrange a custom itinerary with behind-the-scenes access to museums, private tours and day trips. Here is just one example of what our destination experts can create for you.
Begin with a guided visit to St-Germain-des-Prés, that includes gallery hopping and a tour of many beloved haunts of famous authors of the post-war era. After lunch, stroll through the impossibly romantic Jardin du Luxembourg before making your way to the Musée Rodin. Your guide will explain the artist’s incredible legacy as you explore the 18th-century villa filled with stunning sculptures. Finally, board a chic Riva boat for a private sunset cruise (complete with Champagne) on the Seine.
After an indulgent breakfast, take a guided tour of the Marais’ many galleries, stopping at its cute one-off boutiques and funky cafés and restaurants along the way. Next, visit the Musée Picasso with your guide to admire its vast collection of the artist’s work before wandering through the quaint Île St-Louis and stopping for lunch. Stroll around Canal St-Martin and the neighborhood’s eponymous Napoléon-era tree-lined canal, one of the most romantic spots to pass an afternoon. Enjoy dinner at one of Indagare’s favorite classic restaurants.
Spend the morning perusing the shops on Avenue Montaigne and studying the trove of Old Master paintings and sculpture at Musée Jacquemart-André. For lunch, take a cooking class with a local chef who will teach you the intricacies of French cuisine. Stroll through the historic neighborhood, stopping at one of its little cafés for coffee or a glass of wine. In the evening, toast to your Paris sojourn over a delicious dinner at one of the city’s most renowned foodie temples.
