Paris highlights

The highlights of Paris

Pick two or three and enjoy them properly: the Eiffel Tower and Champ de Mars, the Champs-Élysées up to the Arc de Triomphe, the Louvre and the Seine riverside. Add Notre-Dame and the Latin Quarter if time allows. You won't see all of Paris in an afternoon — and that's fine.

Our tips

Plan your day right

A Paris day on a cruise stopover works — but only if you leave early. Don't wait until 9am. Pick up your car and set off the moment you disembark, around 7:30–7:45am. That single decision gives you light traffic on the A13, arrival in Paris around 10am, a full 4–5 hours in the city, and a comfortable safety margin for the drive back.

A realistic rhythm: disembark 7:30 → on the road by 7:45 → Paris around 10am → leave Paris by 3:00–3:30pm → back at the terminal well before all-aboard. Your own car is your protection: no fixed train to miss, you set the return time.

Getting around

Paris behind the wheel

Central Paris has plenty of paid underground car parks near the main sights, and your car comes with the Crit'Air low-emission sticker required to drive in the city. The drive from the terminal is straightforward — the A13 runs almost door to door. One car carries your whole group for one fixed price, and you leave exactly when you're ready.
