About this activity

Paris is two hours from Le Havre. This private tour gets you there and back without the stress — picked up at the cruise terminal, returned before your ship sails, with everything in between handled by your driver.

The Eiffel Tower. Notre-Dame. The Louvre. The Champs-Élysées. In a single shore day, you can see the landmarks that define one of the great cities of the world — on your own terms, at your own pace, in a

private vehicle with no group and no fixed script.

Your driver knows Paris. The traffic, the best approach for each monument, where to stop for a photograph, where to find twenty quiet minutes away from the crowds.

That knowledge is the difference between a rushed day and a memorable one.

Want to go deeper? Upgrade with a licensed Paris guide who meets you in the city and brings the history, the architecture, and the stories behind every façade to life.

Your return to ship is fully guaranteed. You set the priorities. Your driver handles the rest.

Itinerary

Eiffel Tower

one hour Admission not included

No monument in the world announces a city quite like

this one. Your driver will bring you to the best viewpoint — the Trocadéro esplanade — where the Tower rises across the Seine in full, exactly as you have seen it in photographs.

From here you can walk down to the Champ de Mars, get closer to the base, or simply take your time with the view. If you want to go up, allow two hours and book your tickets in advance — the summit offers one of the finest panoramas in Europe.
Louvre Museum

one hour Admission not included

The world's most visited museum occupies a former royal palace on the right bank of the Seine. Even if you don't go inside, the glass pyramid in the Cour Napoléon is one of the great architectural statements of the 20th century and a natural centrepiece for photographs.

If you want to visit the collection — the Mona Lisa,

the Venus de Milo, Winged Victory — allow at least two hours and book tickets in advance. Your driver will adjust the day accordingly.
Cathedrale Notre-Dame de Paris

one hour

After five years of restoration following the 2019 fire, Notre-Dame has reopened — and it is more extraordinary than ever. The medieval façade, the flying buttresses, the gargoyles watching over the Seine: the exterior alone is worth the visit.

Your driver will bring you to the Île de la Cité,

where Notre-Dame sits at the heart of Paris — literally, as this island is the geographic centre from which all French road distances are measured. Interior visits are possible and free of charge; allow at least an hour if you want to go inside.
Champs-Elysees

one hour

The most famous avenue in the world runs for nearly two kilometres from the Place de la Concorde to the Arc de Triomphe. Your driver can drop you at one end and let you walk its length — past the grand cafés, the flagship boutiques, and the cinemas that have lined this boulevard for over a century.
Arc de Triomphe

30 min

At the western end, the Arc de Triomphe stands at the centre of twelve radiating avenues, erected by Napoleon to honour his armies. The names of 660 battles and 558 generals are engraved on its inner walls. Climb to the top for a 360° view across Paris — tickets required, bookable in advance.
