France has 37 sites inscribed in UNESCO’S World Heritage List and features of high cultural interest, Small and picturesque French villages of quality heritage and remarkable gardens.
There’s a reason Parisis the third most visited city in the world.Known as the “City of Light” or the “City of Love,” the streets of Paris overflow with culture, art, beauty, and history. Whether searching out Monet’s Water Lilies at Musée de l’Orangerie, climbing the many steps of Sacré-Cœur, standing before the Eiffel Tower in awe, or searching out the best crepes along the Seine, Paris is a city that captures the hearts of millions every year.
Believe it or not though, Paris wasn’t always called “Paris’’, Paris was originally a Roman City called “Lutetia’’, and the Eiffel Tower wasn’t supposed to be a permanent fixture.

This would include: The Champs-Elysées, Arc de Triomphe, Grands Boulevards, Opéra, Concorde, Eiffel Tower, Louvre Museum, Hôtel de Ville, Notre-Dame Cathédral (No visits inside on this day). Paris, France's capital, is a major European city and a global center for art, fashion, gastronomy and culture. Its 19th-century cityscape is crisscrossed by wide boulevards and the River Seine. Beyond such landmarks as the Eiffel Tower and the 12th-century, Gothic Notre-Dame cathedral, the city is known for its cafe culture and designer boutiques along the Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré. Disneyland Paris, originally Euro Disney Resort, is an entertainment resort in Marne-la-Vallée, a new town located 32 km east of the centre of Paris, and is the most visited theme park in all of Europe Lunch will be at a restaurant in Disneyland. Join the festival-fun with breathtaking parades, brand new shows and new attractions. Transfer to Disneyland Park for a half day experience of the Disney Studio. Walt Disney Studios Park is the second of two theme parks built at Disneyland Paris in Marne-la-Vallee, France, opened on March 16, 2002. It is dedicated to show business, themed after movies, production, and behind-the-scenes. Overnight in the area of Disneyland. Mont Saint-Michel, which annually hosts nearly 2.5 million visitors pilgrims and tourists, has undoubtedly the most famous tourist locations of France. Its silhouette lost in the middle of the bay attracts visitors from far and wide to discover this genuine medieval fortress built on a granite rock surrounded by swamps and quicksand. It is considered one of the finest "Wonders of the West". The site logically classified by Unesco, is second in number of visits to France. During your stop in Mont Saint-Michel, you obviously cannot miss the visit of the abbey which represents the major interest of the mountain. Then you leave, no doubt, take a stroll on the ramparts which offer you beautiful views of the bay and the main street, where you will find many souvenir shops, hotels and restaurants. PS: While it is possible to travel to Mont Saint Michel by the TGV Train, it would cause double cost as then we will still have to send a bus for the onward trip from Paris (which will be costly / double costs). It may also be quite tricky with luggage considering that this is a children group. Overnight in the area of Mont Saint Michel DAY 8: Departure to visit one of the most beautiful castles of France: Chenonceau. The Château de Chenonceau is a French château spanning the River Cher, near the small village of Chenonceaux in the Indre-et-Loire département of the Loire Valley in France. It is one of the best-known châteaux of the Loire valley. Lunch Enjoy a cruise passing under the bridges of the castle! Overnight in the area - Tours Lunch in Paris After lunch, visit & spend the afternoon in a school in Paris (interactive session / French learning or other, as agreed upon by the teachers from both schools) Overnight Paris Leave thereafter leisurely to visit Montmartre and Sacre Coeur. Climb the hill on the funicular. The Montmartre funicular connects a station between the Place Saint-Pierre and the Place Suzanne Valadon (at the bottom of the hill) and a station on the Rue du Cardinal-Dubois (at the top of the hill). The upper station is very close to the Sacre Coeur Basilica – you’ll still have some stairs to climb to get inside the church, but the funicular eliminates the need to climb the more than 200 steps along the Rue Foyatier. At 108 metres long, the funicular climbs and drops in under a minute and a half and for the last few years it has carried over 2 million passengers each year, yet incredibly, each car can only carry a maximum of 60 passengers at a time.
