Itinerary

Stop 1: 0.2 hours
Boarding Location. This narrow artificial island, about ten meters wide and nearly a kilometer long, is located between the Grenelle and Bir-Hakeim bridges. Created in 1825, this unusual and pleasant promenade spot is adorned with a few hundred trees. The more athletic individuals can enjoy an impromptu outdoor workout while admiring the view of the Eiffel Tower, thanks to the numerous sports facilities such as exercise equipment, climbing walls, and stationary bikes. The Île aux Cygnes is famous for its 16-meter replica of the Statue of Liberty, located at the southern tip.
Stop 2:
The Eiffel Tower. This imposing structure was erected during the 1889 Universal Exposition and majestically overlooks the city from the Champ-de-Mars. Its height of 330 meters makes it a true architectural gem that continues to captivate and fascinate visitors for generations. At night, it sparkles with a thousand lights and offers visitors a unique experience.
Stop 3:
The Alexandre III Bridge, inaugurated during the 1900 Universal Exposition and classified as a historical monument, stands as one of the most iconic in the capital - both in terms of its architecture and its geographical location. At each of its four ends, monumental pylons rise 17 meters high, adorned with gilded bronze Pegasus statues atop. These statues symbolize the Fame of Arts, Sciences, Commerce, and Industry. The Alexandre III Bridge connects the Invalides on one side to the Grand and Petit Palais on the other. Its panoramic view of these landmarks, the Eiffel Tower, and the Seine, make it a highly sought-after promenade spot, day and night.
Stop 4:
Le Grand Palais, monument emblématique de Paris, construit pour l'exposition universelle de 1900, se distingue par sa grande coupole en verre ornée du drapeau français. Classé monument historique depuis 2000, il se compose de trois parties : la Nef, les Galeries nationales et le Palais de la Découverte. La Nef accueille des événements nationaux et internationaux dans divers domaines, tandis que les Galeries nationales proposent d'importantes expositions artistiques. Le Palais de la Découverte est un musée dédié aux sciences avec des collections permanentes et des expositions temporaires.
Stop 5:
The Musée d'Orsay, renowned worldwide for its rich collection of Impressionist art, also represents the entire artistic creation of the Western world from 1848 to 1914. Its collections encompass various forms of expression, from painting to architecture, sculpture, and photography. The building itself is impressive, with its palatial railway station appearance, inaugurated for the 1900 Universal Exposition. After a complete renovation, the museum reopened in 2011 with new spaces, including a 400 m² extension for the upper pavilion dedicated to Post-Impressionist artists. The gallery of Impressionists has also been rearranged, and a new temporary exhibition space has been created.
Stop 6:
The Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris, a masterpiece of Gothic architecture, is the most visited monument in France. Located in the historic center of Paris, at the tip of the Île de la Cité, its construction began in the Middle Ages. The works started in the 13th century and were completed in the 15th century. Severely damaged during the French Revolution, the cathedral underwent restoration in the 19th century under the guidance of the architect Viollet-le-Duc. Visitors are captivated by the stained glass windows and rose windows, the towers, spire, and gargoyles. They can also explore the Treasury of Notre-Dame and climb the towers for a panoramic view of Paris. In 2013, Notre-Dame celebrated its 850th anniversary. On this occasion, numerous events were organized, and the cathedral renewed its bell heritage with the arrival of eight new bells and a new great bell. The distances of French roads are measured from the 0 point located on the cathedral's parvis.
Stop 7:
The site is recognizable by its vibrant green and boldly contemporary exterior structure. It dedicates its spaces to avant-garde fashion and design. Wooden walkways provide access to different levels. From the panoramic terrace, visitors can enjoy breathtaking views.
Stop 8:
In the heart of Paris, two islands vie for the favor of tourists: Île Saint-Louis and Île de la Cité are home to some of the most beautiful monuments and mansions in Paris, and their quays offer unparalleled walking and picnic spots.
Stop 9:
Having served as a former royal palace, the Louvre bears a deep connection to the history of France over the course of eight centuries. Since its establishment in 1793, it has been envisioned as a universal museum, housing some of the world's most magnificent collections that span thousands of years and encompass diverse regions from America to the borders of Asia. The Louvre consists of eight departments, including Egyptian Antiquities, Oriental Antiquities, Greek, Etruscan, and Roman Antiquities, as well as modern collections like Paintings, Sculptures, Decorative Arts, Graphic Arts, and Islamic Art. With nearly 33,000 works on display, visitors can marvel at globally renowned masterpieces such as the Winged Victory of Samothrace, the Seated Scribe, the Winged Bulls of Khorsabad, the Mona Lisa, Michelangelo's Slaves, and Napoleon III's Apartments. Additionally, a ninth department dedicated to Byzantine and Eastern Christian Arts is currently being created and is set to open in 2025.
Stop 10:
Located at the foot of the Champs-Élysées, the Place de la Concorde is distinguishable today by the Luxor Obelisk (which is 3,300 years old and was erected in May 1998), the prestigious hotels that line its perimeter, and the two monumental fountains (the Fountain of the Seas and the Fountain of the Rivers). Created in 1772, the Place de la Concorde initially gained notoriety for being one of the execution sites during the French Revolution. Louis XVI, Marie-Antoinette, and many others were guillotined there. It was between 1836 and 1846 that the architect Jacques-Ignace Hittorf shaped the square into its current form.
Stop 11:
This small 11.5-meter statue was offered by the Americans in 1889, three years after France gifted the Statue of Liberty. Once again, this monument celebrates a significant event, as it commemorates the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution. This pivotal moment in France's history is represented alongside July 4, 1776, the date of American Independence, on the tablet held in the statue's left hand. Originally placed facing the Eiffel Tower until 1937, the Statue of Liberty was later positioned on the tip of the island, facing away from the Iron Lady.
