Reims – Montmartre – Paris
After breakfast at our hotel, we head towards Reims, known as the city of champagne and kings in France, to deeply feel the Christmas spirit. After approximately two hours of travel, we arrive in Reims and visit the magnificent Reims Cathedral (Notre-Dame de Reims), which hosted the coronation ceremonies of French kings, along with the historic center of the city, guided by our tour guide. Then, we have free time at the Reims Christmas Market, located right in the shadow of the cathedral and one of the most famous Christmas markets in France. In this magical atmosphere, where you can taste the region’s famous pink biscuits and explore local handicrafts, we then return to Paris in the afternoon. Upon reaching central Paris, after a short city tour to see the city’s iconic landmarks, we provide free time for you to enjoy your stay and take beautiful photos. After regrouping, we proceed to the Montmartre area, still known for its bohemian lifestyle and called “Ressamlar Tepesi” (Artists’ Hill). Guests who wish can take the funicular up to Artists’ Hill, view the Sacré-Cœur Basilica, and then enjoy free time in its charming restaurants, where you can savor famous Parisian dishes or delicious crepes. At the end of the free time, we transfer back to our hotel in Paris.
Paris – Eiffel Tower, Seine River Boat Tour, Tuileries Gardens
After having breakfast at our hotel, we head to Champs de Mars, home of the Eiffel Tower—the very symbol of France and one of the world’s most famous cities. We ascend to the tower’s second floor for a panoramic view (included in the price), with reservations already made and tickets secured. Following this memorable sightseeing experience, where you can take beautiful and unforgettable photos, we embark on an included Seine River cruise titled "Paris Dream." As we glide beneath the magnificent bridges spanning the river, we enjoy panoramic views of Paris’s striking historic buildings, including Île de la Cité (Cité Island) with its iconic Notre-Dame Cathedral—dedicated to the Virgin Mary and tragically damaged by an unexpected fire in recent times—as well as the Palais de Justice, Conciergerie Prison, Hôtel de Ville (City Hall), Musée d’Art Moderne, and the Louvre Palace. After the enjoyable boat tour, we allow free time around the Louvre Museum. Guests who wish may visit the world-famous Glass Pyramid and its gardens located within the Louvre’s grounds, or simply spend their free time shopping at Paris’s renowned boutiques or savoring the city’s beauty. Upon reassembling, we proceed to the day’s most dazzling stop: the “La Magie de Noël” (Magic of Christmas) Christmas Market in the Tuileries Gardens (included in the price). Set in the heart of Paris between the Louvre Museum and Place de la Concorde, this vast market offers free time to enjoy everything from a giant Ferris wheel and traditional French delicacies to ice-skating rinks and colorful souvenirs. As this unforgettable day concludes with Paris illuminated by its festive Christmas lights, we return to our hotel in Paris to rest.
Paris – Izmir-Antalya
After having breakfast at our hotel, we check out of our rooms, take our seats in the waiting vehicle, and transfer to the airport for our return journey. Upon arrival, we complete passport and customs procedures, board a Sun Express aircraft that will take us to Adnan Menderes Airport, and begin our return flight. After landing, we collect our baggage and prepare for our flight to Antalya.
