Two of Paris’s top attractions and iconic monuments – the Palace of Versailles and the Eiffel Tower – are as different as could be but both should definitely be included in your Paris holiday plans.
Take one of the many Versailles tours to see the eye-popping opulence of the Palace built by Louis XIV (the Sun King) to impress the nobility of Europe. Book one of the range of Eiffel Tower tours available to ascend one of the world’s most recognisable structures and see jaw-dropping views from the upper levels.
As well as providing standard excursions, tour operators have gone to great pains to find imaginative ways to give a different perspective on these perennially popular attractions. For example, when it comes to Versailles tours, you can combine your Palace visit with a trip to Monet’s beautiful garden in Giverny; or ride the train to Versailles to explore the glorious grounds by bicycle. You could even make the journey in an open-top French 2CV car, enjoying stunning panoramic views along the way.
Eiffel Tower tours also come in many interesting variations, enabling you to enjoy the monument by day or night. Spend the morning on a city sightseeing tour, enjoy lunch at the Eiffel Tower and relax on a Seine cruise in the afternoon. Or combine dinner at the Eiffel Tower with a Seine cruise and Moulin Rouge cabaret show. Or discover the hidden secrets of the iconic Eiffel Tower on an exclusive back-stage tour that reveals the inner workings of one of the world’s greatest monuments.
The examples given above are just a sample of the range of Versailles tours and Eiffel Tower tours currently on offer. Pre-book online to secure your place on any tours that interest you.
