Full-Day Trip to Paris

Full-Day Trip to Paris

The full day-trip begins bright and early in St Pancras Station at 6am (at 5:30am on Saturdays), where you’ll be given your Eurostar tickets and other passes.

Get on board the Eurostar and cross the English Channel on a 2 hour and 15-minute trip to Paris. You’ll arrive in Gare du Nord, the largest train station in the capital of France at around 8am.

Upon arrival, a guide will be waiting for you to take you on a panoramic tour of the city, where you’ll admire the Arch de Triomphe, Champs-Elysées and Trocadéro, among many other beautiful sights.

Once you get to the Eiffel Tower, you’ll skip the lines and climb to its second level, which stands 377 ft (115 m) tall. This observation deck offers a magnificent bird’s eye view of Paris, where you’ll be able to spot its most popular landmarks. If you want to see the views from the third level, you can purchase the ticket directly on the second floor.  

Once you’ve admired the views over Paris, you’ll embark on one of the city’s famous "bateaux parisiens”. During one hour, you’ll relax and enjoy a 360-degree panoramic view of Paris from the River Seine as you sail past the Musée d’Orsay, Notre-Dame Cathedral, the Louvre Museum and the Eiffel Tower.

The last stop of the scenic cruise is the Louvre Museum, the most-visited museum in the world. With your fast track entry ticket, skip the queues and take your time to discover the various collections including the Museum’s masterpieces such as the Mona Lisa portrait and The Birth of Venus. The Louvre Museum is closed on Tuesdays, so if you book the tour on this day, you’ll visit the Musée d’Orsay instead, which features an impressive collection of Impressionist paintings.

After a superb day exploring one of the most romantic cities in the world, you’ll head back to London at 8:13 pm from Gare du Nord. The Eurostar arrives in St Pancras at approximately 9:40 pm.
