We will stop at the most famous landmark of Paris, the Eiffel Tower, for a photo stop. The Eiffel Tower was built by Gustave Eiffel for the 1889 Exposition Universelle, which was to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution. As France’s symbol in the world, and the showcase of Paris, today it welcomes almost 7 million visitors a year (around 75% of whom are foreigners), making it the most visited monument that you have to pay for in the world. An object of discord, desire, and fascination, the Eiffel Tower never fails to impress. Two years, two months, and five days Its construction in 2 years, 2 months, and 5 days was a veritable technical and architectural achievement. "Utopia achieved", a symbol of technological prowess, at the end of the 19th century, it was a demonstration of French engineering personified by Gustave Eiffel, and a defining moment of the industrial era. It was met immediately with tremendous success.

Der Palais Garnier ist ein Opernhaus mit 1.979 Sitzplätzen am Place de l'Opéra im 9. Arrondissement von Paris. Er wurde von 1861 bis 1875 im Auftrag von Kaiser Napoleon III. für die Pariser Oper erbaut. Anfangs als „Nouvel Opéra de Paris“ (die neue Pariser Oper) bezeichnet, wurde das Gebäude bald als Palais Garnier bekannt – in Anerkennung seiner außergewöhnlichen Opulenz und der für den napoleonischen III. Stil repräsentativen Pläne und Entwürfe des Architekten Charles Garnier. Bis 1989 war es das Haupttheater der Pariser Oper und des dazugehörigen Pariser Opernballetts, bis ein neues Opernhaus, die Opéra Bastille, am Place de la Bastille eröffnet wurde. Heute nutzt das Ensemble den Palais Garnier hauptsächlich für Ballettaufführungen. Seit 1923 steht das Theater unter Denkmalschutz.

We'll drive through the most beautiful avenue in the world. The Champs-Élysées is 1.9 km long and is a beautiful and well-known avenue in Paris. It connects the Arc de Triomphe with the Place de la Concorde and is considered one of the world’s most famous commercial streets. The origins of the Champs-Élysées can be traced to 1640, when space was cleared to plant a line of trees, which would later become an avenue. The name translates to “Elysian Fields” from Greek mythology, meaning the resting place of Greek gods and dead heroes, similar to the Christian paradise. In 1724, the avenue was extended and acquired its current size, and in 1994, the city renovated the street’s sidewalks, improving the Champs-Élysées considerably. Nowadays, its buildings are high-end stores, cafés, and offices, ideal for shopping or going for a stroll down one of the most beautiful avenues in the city. The Champs-Élysées is also renowned worldwide as it is the site of the Tour de France’s last stage.

We will take you to the most renowned place for luxury jewelry in France. Place Vendôme was built on the orders of Louis XIV, as a grandiose setting that would embody absolute power in the very heart of Paris. Napoleon replaced the statue of the king, dismantled in 1792, with a bronze column made from 1,200 enemy canons. During the Second Empire, however, the octagonal square – a marvel of classical urban design – gradually became a showcase for luxury goods rather than political power. The world’s great jewellery brands have turned Place Vendôme and the adjoining Rue de la Paix into one continuous stream of window displays filled with sparkling diamonds, rubies and emeralds. The famous hotel Ritz is also located at the Place Vendôme.

Der Arc de Triomphe de l'Étoile ist eines der berühmtesten Monumente in Paris. Er steht am westlichen Ende der Champs-Élysées, im Zentrum des Place Charles de Gaulle, der früher Place de l'Étoile hieß – der Stern oder „Etoile“ der zwölf strahlenförmig voneinander abgehenden Alleen. Der Arc de Triomphe und der Platz liegen in drei Arrondissements: dem 16. (Süd und West), dem 17. (Nord) und dem 8. (Ost). Der Arc de Triomphe ehrt diejenigen, die in den Französischen Revolutions- und Napoleonischen Kriegen für Frankreich kämpften und starben. Die Namen aller französischen Siege und Generäle sind auf seiner Innen- und Außenseite eingraviert. Unter seinem Gewölbe befindet sich das Grabmal des unbekannten Soldaten aus dem Ersten Weltkrieg.

The Place de la Concorde is situated between the Champs-Élysées and the Tuileries Garden, and due to its history, it's one of the city’s most representative public squares. Today it is famous for the Luxor Obelisk (a 3,300-year-old Egyptian obelisk erected on the square in October 1836). Created in 1772, Place de la Concorde was originally known for having been an execution site during the French Revolution. Louis XVI and Marie-Antoinette (among others) were guillotined here. Between 1836 and 1846 the architect Jacques-Ignace Hittorf redesigned the square to become what it is today. The north side of the square is closed with the buildings of the French Naval Ministry and the Crillon Hotel, one of the oldest and most elegant hotels in Paris. From the obelisk, the views of Paris are breathtaking. On one side, you see the Tuileries Garden with the Louvre Museum in the background, and on the other side, you see the Champs-Élysées and the Arc de Triomphe.

Let's go for a short 20 min walking Tour of Montmartre. With its cobbled streets, stunning Basilica, artists, and bistros. Montmartre is full of charm! Perched on the top of a small hill in the 18th arrondissement, the most famous Parisian district has lost none of its village atmosphere that appealed so much to the artists of the 19th and 20th centuries. A real melting pot of art and inspiration for the cinema, Montmartre still gives as much pleasure to those who stroll around it and figures high on the list for a stay in Paris. With your sweetheart or friends, enjoy museum visits and the wonderful view of the city from the top of Sacré-Cœur, then set off in the steps of Amelie of Montmartre. It's an uphill walk, so please wear your shoes accordingly and avoid heels. But if you don't wanna walk, please tell your guide, and we can do something else instead of the walking tour and avoid an uphill walk.
