- Two gourmet food tour of the Latin Quarter
- Two entrance tickets to the Louvre

Your Hotel
For a city that defines elegance, you'd expect where you lay your head at night to be equally so. An example of the hotel you can stay at when in Paris is the sophisticated Hotel Gabriel. This four-star hotel combines Parisian perfectionism with modern design. When staying in Paris, your comfort will be the utmost priority.
Restaurants
The culinary capital of Europe, Paris is not short on excellent cuisine. When staying in this city, you'll have the chance to dine at one of our favourite restaurants, Le Chardenoux. Let yourself be taken on a dining adventure, exploring new dishes as you enjoy Paris.
Included in the add-on is a gourmet food tour of the Latin Quarter with a group. This is an amazing opportunity to experience the best of Parisian food in an enlightening environment.
Explore the Louvre
Home of the most famous painting in the world, the Mona Lisa, the Louvre is an absolute must-see. Your two-night stay includes entry to the Louvre, where some of Europe's most acclaimed artists throughout history display their work. No trip to Paris would be complete without a visit here.
