Half Day Private Tour to Versailles, The Louvre and the Moulin Rouge Belle Epoque Dinner and Show.

Meet your guide this morning for a private tour to Versailles. Skip the line entrance tickets and a 3-hour guided tour to the Palace of Versailles are included. After the tour you will be transferred back to the city centre. There will be time for an optional lunch and afterwards meet an expert guide for a 3-hour tour of the Louvre.  In the evening we include the Belle Epoque Dinner and Show at the Moulin Rouge – ooh la la!

The Palace of Versailles has been listed as a World Heritage Site for 30 years and is one of the greatest achievements in French 17th century art. Louis XIII's old hunting pavilion was transformed and extended by his son, Louis XIV, when he installed the Court and government there in 1682. A succession of kings continued to embellish the Palace up until the French Revolution. Today the Palace contains 2,300 rooms spread over 63,154 m2. In 1789, the French Revolution forced Louis XVI to leave Versailles for Paris. The Palace would never again be a royal residence and a new role was assigned to it in the 19th century, when it became the Museum of the History of France in 1837 by order of King Louis-Philippe, who came to the throne in 1830.

The Louvre, or the Louvre Museum, is the world's largest art museum and a historic monument in Paris, France. A central landmark of the city, it is located on the Right Bank of the Seine in the city's 1st arrondissement.

Moulin Rouge Dinner and Show: The Moulin Rouge, a spectacular world exists where all the emotions, surprises and effervescence, that constitute the Paris party spirit since 1889, are created and experienced. Come and enjoy the Féerie Revue show, composed of 80 artists from all over the world, some 1000 costumes of feathers, sequins and rhinestones which enhance the bodies of our artists, a multitude of breath-taking acts which punctuate the show, and the legendary French Cancan – the Parisian cabaret invites you to enjoy an unforgettable moment of enchantment in the heart of Montmartre.

This morning you will meet with your English-speaking driver for a half day private return transfer from Paris to Giverny. Skip the line entrances are included at Giverny.

This evening we include a small group scheduled food walking tour in the Montmartre district. Return to your hotel afterwards at your leisure.

Giverny Monet's Garden: There are two parts in Monet's garden: a flower garden called Clos Normand in front of the house and a Japanese inspired water garden on the other side of the road. The two parts of Monet's garden contrast and complement one another. When Monet and his family settled in Giverny in 1883 the  piece of land sloping gently down from the house to the road was planted with an orchard and enclosed by high stone walls. A central alley bordered with pines separated it into two parts. Monet had the pines cut down, keeping only the two yews closest to the house to please Alice. From this Clos Normand of about one hectare, Monet made a garden full of perspectives, symmetries and colours. In 1893, ten years after his arrival at Giverny, Monet bought the piece of land neighbouring his property on the other side of the railway

The Eiffel Tower: Tickets are included to the summit of The Eiffel Tower. The tower offers three experiences: With its transparent floor and its new glass balustrades, the 1st floor offers you a brand-new experience and a breath-taking view. Walk on the glass floor, 57m from the ground, and experience the unique sensation of stepping out into the void. On the second floor, treat yourself to some modern French gastronomic cuisine and a unique visual and culinary experience, all in an immaculate and classy setting. Or simply be wowed by Paris and all her splendour with clear views to the Capital's monuments. After a spectacular ascent in glass-walled lifts, you will reach the top of the Tower, 267m up! Explore Gustave Eiffel’s office which has been restored to its original condition. With its very life like wax models, the scene depicts the Tower’s creator and his daughter Claire welcoming the famous American inventor, Thomas Edison. Among other things you can also see the gramophone which he presents to Gustave Eiffel as a gift. The Tower also represents the magic of light. Its lighting, its sparkling lights, and its beacon shine and inspire dreams every evening.

Montmartre Evening Food Tour: There is a very good reason why Paris is called the "City of Light". It is stunningly beautiful during the day, but it is even more magical at night. The Montmartre and South Pigalle areas really come alive in the evening, when the tourists are gone, and the true Parisians come out to enjoy the area's secret wine bars and restaurants. The little streets and cobbled lanes are transformed at night, illuminated by the warm glow of the Paris Street lamps and candles from restaurants. It is the perfect place for a wonderful dinner. Firstly, your local Parisian guide will take you to a chocolate shop where you will have the chance to eat mouth-watering chocolates. This visit will be followed by a lovely and local macaron shop of the Montmartre area.

After the bakery, you will visit the best cheese shop in Abbesses to try Nico's favourite "fromages". The tour even includes a visit to a butcher shop, where you can taste succulent French hams and the finest cured sausages. Finally, our guide will lead you to our secret place so you can enjoy all the food we have bought along the way.
