Tonight, get to know your fellow travellers at an elegant Welcome Reception. Three Nights: Paris, Les Jardins du Marais. Day 2. Paris This morning, fling open the door to some of Paris's best-loved sights on a guided city tour. Feel the excitement of one of the world's most iconic streets, the Avenue des Champs-Élysées, and marvel at the impressive Arc de Triomphe, the famous archway at the intersection of 12 boulevards. Then, ascend the Eiffel Tower, where sweeping vistas and delicious French cuisine await. The afternoon and evening grace you with endless options for exploration. Perhaps relax in front of the Eiffel Tower at Champs de Mark park, or explore the beautiful Montmarte district, sampling France's famously rich food in a cosy restaurant; no doubt your friendly Cruise Director will have an expert recommendation! BL Day 3. Paris Today, you're bound to fall head over heels for the City of Love during a full day at leisure. Will you enjoy a whirlwind romance with the bohemian fervour of the Latin Quarter? Or cement an enduring devotion to the art of the Louvre Museum? Or perhaps you'll become enamoured with the Seine River, as you take a stroll along its banks towards the legendary gothic cathedral, Notre Dame. You may even like to experience the vibrant Moulin Rouge or enjoy an enthralling tour of Montmartre with a fairytale cruise along the Seine River (see page 107). B Day 4.
