Wrap up with a Seine river cruise or a relaxed evening enjoying French cuisine and wine. | Take a short trip to the Palace of Versailles. Tour the opulent halls, then wander through the vast gardens and fountains. Return to Paris in the evening for one last croissant, souvenir stop, or sunset view before saying au revoir. |
