Paris Guided Sightseeing from Le Havre
Embark on an unforgettable journey to Paris with our guided shore excursion from Le Havre. Begin your adventure with a scenic, air-conditioned bus ride through the charming Normandy countryside, carefully coordinated with your ship’s docking schedule.
Upon arriving in Paris, meet your professional tour guide at the Seine River Cruises dock, located just a few hundred meters from the iconic Eiffel Tower. Enjoy a leisurely stroll to Rue de l’Université, a renowned spot for capturing stunning photos of the Tower. While entry is not included, the view of this architectural masterpiece is truly awe-inspiring.
Next, embark on a serene 1-hour Seine River cruise, offering a unique perspective of Paris while bypassing the bustling city traffic. Admire stunning views of landmarks such as the Louvre, Musée d’Orsay, Grand Palais, and Petit Palais as you glide along the river. Enjoy insightful onboard commentary, and if water levels permit, the cruise will also pass by the iconic Notre Dame Cathedral, adding a touch of timeless charm to your journey.
Following the Seine River cruise, your tour continues with a visit to the iconic Arc de Triomphe. Learn about its historical significance as a tribute to Napoleon’s military victories and its role in French national pride. Just steps away lies the renowned Champs-Élysées, celebrated for its vibrant theaters, charming cafes, and luxury boutiques. If time permits, enjoy some free time to explore, shop, or grab a quick bite. Please note that the availability of free time depends on traffic, special events, and docking schedules.
When the tour concludes, your bus will safely return you to the port, with ample time to spare before your cruise ship departs.
Please Note: Please be aware that our itinerary may be subject to adjustments due to exceptional events happening in the city. There is no guide on the bus to Paris and back. This tour does not enter the Eiffel Tower and the free time at the Arc de Triomphe and Champs-Élysées is subject to change due to traffic and other circumstances. The river cruises only go to the Notre Dame if the water levels are not too high, therefore, it is not guaranteed to see the Notre Dame during the cruise. In these circumstances, refunds will not be issued due to lack of free time provided or changes to the boat cruise itinerary.
