Our private Paris city tour takes you round the most famous sights in Paris: the Arc de Triomphe, the celebrated Champs Elysées Avenue and Place de la Concorde, the Louvre and it’s amazing pyramid, and of course the Eiffel Tower, seen from the Trocadero terrace. The tour continues with other spectacular buildings such as Les Invalides, the Alexander III bridge, the Pantheon, the Bastille square, Saint-Louis Island, the stunning East End of Notre Dame with its "flying buttresses", the Orsay museum, the prestigious Vendome square with its column built by Napoleon I, and the lavish Opera House and La Madeleine church.

Also, you will have a 90 minute visit to the world-famous Louvre museum. Once a 16th century royal palace, the Louvre is recognized as one of the world's great museums, with priceless works from all over Europe and important collections of Assyrian, Egyptian, Greek, Coptic and Islamic art.

Day 3, Paris, Chateau Vaux le Vicomte & Fountainbleau Palace

We begin our day with a leisurely drive out of the city to a little-known 17th century chateau east of Paris that is worth a visit, especially for history and literature buffs. The château was an influential work of architecture in mid-17th-century Europe and possesses a dramatic, colorful and sometimes turbulent history. The fabulous Castle of Vaux-le-Vicomte which inspired Louis XIV to build Versailles is a small, exquisite jewel. Its amazingly beautiful gardens rival even those of Versailles. The interior is lavishly furnished and gives the visitor a sense of intimacy and luxury. Chateau Vaux le Vicomte today is often chosen as a setting for period-piece films. The chateau's luxuriant formal gardens and fountains can provide repose from the hectic cityscape.

The next visit on today's jouney is Fontainebleau, a lovely historical town south of Paris. It is renowned for its large and scenic Forest of Fontainebleau, a favorite weekend getaway for Parisians, as well as for the historical Château de Fontainebleau of the kings of France, which attracts crowds of tourists.

Château de Fontainebleau is one of the most beautiful castles in France. Its interior decorations are especially interesting as a fine example of the French Renaissance style. At the same time, its historical significance is hard to overestimate, since it was the preferred residence of French kings and emperors for 7 centuries. After your visit to the main building, do not forget to take a stroll in the park and the gardens around the castle; you will see Diane's fountain and if you are lucky, meet one of the peacocks who live there.

Although by no means less interesting than the Versailles castle, the Fontainebleau castle is a bit more difficult to reach and less known to tourists.
