About Our Day Trips From Paris
Paris captivates visitors with its charm, but venturing out on day trips enriches any Paris vacation. Normandy, featuring the iconic D-Day landing beaches, is (by far) the number one destination for Americans outside of Paris. The picturesque Mont St. Michel Abbey ranks as the second most popular site.
For wine lovers (like us!) we recommend a day trip from Paris to Burgundy, Champagne, or Bordeaux. Other great destinations include Alsace, Lyon, and the Loire Valley.
Almost all of our tours include a rail component. We aren’t fans of the giant bus tours from Paris. Our expert guides are local to the region you will be traveling to and will meet you at the rail station.
Below is the complete list of all of the day trips from Paris we offer. All of our tours are small group only, with 8 persons or less maximum per vehicle. Any of our tours can be made private (reach out to customer service for more information about our trips).
