Itinerary for: London & Paris (Superior) 2010 (LLPS)
- London
- Windsor
- Dover
- Vimy Ridge
- Paris
Day 1:
After checking into your hotel the rest of your day is free to start to enjoy the pomp and pageantry of the Royal Horse Guards, the welcoming informality of colourful pubs, the crazy fashions of Chelsea’s Kings Road and the bespoke tailors of Savile Row. On the second morning you will have an included excursion to the historic town of Royal Windsor, with free time to shop or maybe visit the castle. Your morning sightseeing tour – usually on the third day – will show you Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey and Buckingham Palace. The rest of your time in London is at leisure. Perhaps walk in Hyde Park, visit the Natural History Museum or mix with the famous, and infamous, at Madame Tussauds. London is yours to explore – and you certainly may want to attend one of London’s top stage productions in the West End. Your Trafalgar representative will be available to help with organising any excursions during your stay, whether in London or the countryside.
Hotel: Thistle Marble Arch
Day 2:
We take the Channel ferry from Dover to Calais and drive across the First World War battlefields, pausing to stop and visit the recently restored Vimy Ridge memorial, en route to Paris. The next day we enjoy a sightseeing tour which features the ascent of the Eiffel Tower to the second level, views
of Notre Dame Cathedral and a drive along the Champs Élysées to the Arc de Triomphe. The following day we visit the Fragonard Perfumery and Museum. You have carte blanche to make the
best of the City of Light. Museums abound – try the Louvre or the Musée d’Orsay. Shop in elegant stores and boutiques for next year’s fashions. Or explore the wide boulevards crowded with pavement cafés, or perhaps visit the gracious Palace of Versailles. During your stay sample the legendary nightlife and be sure to try a Parisian cabaret spectacular.
Hotel: Mercure Tour Eiffel
Day 3:
We cross Northern France through the Somme battlefields. On to the Opal Coast with remnants of German World War II bunkers to Calais. Here a ferry takes us to England and on to London.
