    This morning, after indulging at your hotel breakfast meet your private local guide for an engaging walking tour of the Latin Quarter, Notre Dame and Sainte Chapelle.

    Start your journey in the Latin Quarter, one of Paris’s oldest and most vibrant neighborhoods. Wander along the narrow cobblestone streets that once inspired great thinkers and writers like Ernest Hemingway and Jean-Paul Sartre. Cross the Petit Pont to the Île de la Cité, the historic heart of Paris, where Notre-Dame Cathedral stands as a masterpiece of Gothic art. Admire its stunning façade, intricate sculptures, and the famous gargoyles gazing over the Seine.

    Guided by a professional pastry chef, you will learn step by step how to make the lemon meringue pie. From discovering the ingredients to the mixing process, you will go through each step, from baking to tasting. And, to conclude, you will leave with your creation!

    Later today, ascend to the very top of Paris’s most iconic landmark and toast to the City of Light with a glass of champagne in hand. This exclusive experience combines breathtaking views, effortless access, and a touch of French elegance.

    Begin your visit by skipping the stairs and taking the lift through the Eiffel Tower’s graceful iron framework. As you rise, watch the panoramic cityscape unfold-the Seine River winding below, the golden dome of Les Invalides, and the distant spires of Notre-Dame.

    At the summit level, 276 meters above the ground, step into a world of wonder. The top floor offers 360-degree views stretching across Paris and beyond. Here, you can savor a chilled flute of champagne from the Tower’s Champagne Bar, located in Gustave Eiffel’s restored private office-a perfect spot for a toast above the rooftops of Paris.
