The Experience

Sojourners are whisked away to take a day trip to Paris, a city of gothic cathedrals, charming parks, and vibrant boulevards. The experience is complemented with a return Eurostar trip and a scenic illumination cruise on the River Seine. After dark, travellers can sail down the river and see the city of lights with its attractions from a different perspective while passing by the iconic Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, and the Arc de Triomphe with musical accompaniment.
