Paris is the perfect base for discovering some of France’s most iconic regions in a single day. Our small group day trips are designed for travellers who want a well-organised experience with an expert guide, comfortable transport and a relaxed pace — without the feeling of a big bus tour.

Depending on the itinerary, day trips may operate with a limited number of guests to keep the experience personal and enjoyable. Each tour page clearly shows the operating details, meeting information and what is included.
