Music & Concert Tour To Paris

Take to the River Seine for a relaxing tour of some of the main sights of Paris. Hopping on an open deck or glass-sided boat at Pont de l’Alma, you cruise past The Eiffel Tower, Grand Palais, Notre-Dame, Musée d’Orsay and the Louvre amongst many other sites. Tickets are valid for any cruise, so this excursion is very flexible for your itinerary.

The Eiffel Tower stands at 324m over the city of Paris.The structure has become synonymous with the city and is magnificent during the day or at night when it is illuminated. This is the most visited monument in France and pre-booking is essential and availability is limited.

The Basilica of the Sacred Heart dominates the city skyline thanks to its position on top of Montmartre, the highest point in Paris. The Basilica of Montmartre was dedicated to atone for the sins of the Paris Commune. It is a building of great beauty reflecting the hopes, fears and attitudes of fin-de-siècle France. Behind the Sacré Coeur is the Place du Tertre with its artists’ colony.

Enjoy a guided tour of the largest opera house in Europe, with its exuberant mix of architecture that stands as a symbol of the luxury and pleasures of the French capital. The Opera House was commissioned by Napoleon III as part of his Paris reconstruction project. Students are taken to the member’s rotunda and the majestic main staircase leading to the auditorium, the lounges and the foyers.

The strength of Louis XIV can be seen at the world’s grandest palace, built to house his family plus thousands of noblemen, servants and hangers-on. Students can see the opulence and symbolism of the system the Revolutionaries of 1789 opposed, and visit the Hall of Mirrors, where the German Emperor was crowned and the Treaty of Versailles was signed.

For those looking for a particularly French experience, head to the Musée D’Orsay, set in a former railway station.
