Paris, the cosmopolitan capital of France, is one of Europe’s largest city. Paris is famous for being the most beautiful and romantic of all cities. It’s a city of historic places, art, culture, fashion, cosmetic, & design. It’s also known as ‘City of Lights’ and ‘Capital of Fashion’. Fashion Designers and cosmetic brands like Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Dior, Yves Saint-Laurent, Guerlain, L’orel, Clarins etc..are world famous. 

The most iconic landmarks of Paris are Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe, the Notre-Dame Cathedral, the Louvre Museum, Moulin Rouge and Lido and its known to be one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world.

After a beautiful tour of Switzerland out next destination was Paris though it was a short trip and we enjoyed.

So, our pre-planned Itinerary of Paris was very simple but we had to make a few last-minute changes.

PARIS

Day 1 – Disneyland theme Park &

Day 2 – Walt Disney studio Parks

Day 3 & 4 – City Tour by Bus (initially we had planned self-tour by train or Taxi but we did not find it convenient along with kids so we immediately booked city tour bus on day 3 from the 2^nd half of the day & day 4).

Day 5 – was a return journey for us but people can visit the…. palace.

1. Train Tickets from Basel To Paris. (we had a joint tour from Swiss to Paris).

Tips:
