This tour
offers the unique possibility to visit Old Paris, the Notre Dame Cathedral, to
take a Seine river cruise and visit the second floor of the Eiffel Tower with
guided commentary in the space of one day. Enjoy no waiting in line on
your tour with Gray Line Paris. We offer perfectly combined tours to discover
Paris from east to west and to go back to Paris' birth. This tour is a
combination of two half day tours, Paris Historic (Tour code PH) and Paris Seinorama
(Tour Code PS).
(PH) Paris Historic
Paris was created some 2000 years ago and began at the Cite Island (Ile de la
Cite). With emphasis on the history and art of the Capital this tour includes: a
drive through the oldest part: the Marais district and its "hotels", private
town-houses of the nobility 3 or 4 centuries ago, the Latin Quarter with the
Sorbonne, the Luxembourg gardens, Saint-Germain-des-Pres district with its old
church and its famous cafes, a guided visit to the interior of Notre-Dame
Cathedral* and a short short transfer by boat to approach and leave the Cite
Island (unless the river is too high). Before returning back to Place des
Pyramides, you will admire the rigorous geometry of the Vendome Square and the
surprising architecture of the "Garnier" Opera, near the department stores.
*In the case of mass, the guide will comment for you the beautiful facade
with its 3 portals but will not be allowed to speak inside the Cathedral.
(PS) Paris Seinorama
A strong characteristic of the French people is the respect they have for their
history and the restoration of their national monuments. The result of this
preservation of the past has greatly contributed to the beauty of Paris today,
with its unique perspectives, geometric squares, sculptures and monuments. This
tour concentrates on showing Paris to the visitor from two different angles :
Above and below. From the Eiffel Tower we enjoy a 360 degree panoramic view of
the capital from on high. From the River Seine cruise, visitors will be
captivated by an original viewing angle of the monuments and bridges from below.
