Experiences

Dover: See the iconic chalk-white coastline. So special that it’s had songs dedicated to it.

Paris: Climb to the 56th floor of the Montparnasse Tower for an unbeatable vista of the ‘City of Light’.

Paris: Take a dreamy jaunt around the city of romance. Fall in love with landmarks like the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, Louvre, Champs-Élysées and Notre-Dame Cathedral.

Paris: We can’t think of a more glamorous place to eat on Christmas Day. No turkey or mince pies here. Just fine French cuisine all the way.

Paris: Your chance to learn the art of fragrance at a Parisian perfume house. You know it makes scents! (soz).

DAY 1: London to Paris

Christmas is always exciting. Paris is always exciting. Combine the two and it's almost too much to fathom. Let's do this! Start the pleasantries on the ground in London - we'll be carrying on like family by the time we hit French turf. Shortly before we find our ferry for France, we'll be taking in the English coastline beauty of the White Cliffs of Dover. They owe their gorgeousness to their composition of chalk - you're in awe and we haven't even left the UK! On arrival in France we'll be in Calais, where we will take in the history of World War I battlefields in the Valley of the Somme and Vimy Ridge. This sobering reminder of the war, and a historical talk will help us remind ourselves of the days gone by. Cheese, wine, blockbuster sights at every corner, museums, shopping, the list is endless and the good times are only just beginning. Tonight, we'll take to the cute cobbled streets of the Latin Quarter to find some delicious French eats, who knows you might even dine to the sounds of the harmonica to complete the oh-so French scene.

DAY 2: Paris

Wake up and start wishing your wolf pack a very Joyeux Noël! Today we'll soak up the city and head up the Montparnasse Tower. Keep it moving with good bottle of wine and some cheese, some shopping or maybe even a trip to the top of the Eiffel! Tonight, we'll stuff ourselves full of traditional French delights like escargot, boeuf bourguignon to name but a few at our included dinner in the famous Montmartre, but of course.

DAY 3: Paris

Throw a croissant in one hand, a coffee in the other, and head out to explore Paris' Boxing Day vibes. We'll kick off with a tour of the most iconic spots here then hit up the Fragonard Perfumery where you can stock up on perfume. Still buzzing with life, this is the perfect time to roam museums (some of the best in the world), people watch, or spoil yourself in the fashionable district of le Marais. Tonight find a restaurant in a local quarter with cobbled streets, dim lighting and possibly a harmonica player to complete the perfect French scene with some vin rouge. This evening you can treat yourself to your own Christmas gift with a Cabaret show & champagne at the Moulin Rouge. Music, dancing, and an obligatory photo in front of the famous windmill. Life = complete.

DAY 4: Paris to London

It's time to board the coach and say farewell to France. The rest of your Christmases sure have a lot to live up to!  Back in the big smoke we hug it out one last time before the trip comes to an end. It's time to get prepared for a new year of travel adventures.
