Versailles, Chantilly and Giverny suit a day focused on one estate or garden. Start with the visit you want, then choose the pickup and return times around its ticket slots.
Champagne, Fontainebleau with Vaux-le-Vicomte, Rouen and the Normandy coast need room for local travel and lunch as well as the main visits. A second stop should earn its place in the schedule.
D-Day Normandy, the Loire Valley and Mont Saint Michel involve longer travel. If you want several museums, castles or a late visit, ask for a two-day alternative rather than shortening every stop.
All duration ranges are planning suggestions for hotel pickup and return, including visits. Your hotel address, traffic, opening dates, reservations and group pace determine the actual schedule.
01
Send your date, Paris hotel, passenger count and the one or two visits you most want. Include children’s ages and walking or access requirements.
02
Share any timed tickets or cellar appointments. The team reviews driving, waiting, meal breaks and return timing. Ask about a separate guide if you want guided visits.
03
Check vehicle fit, reserved hours, waiting, parking, tolls and extension conditions. Tickets, tastings, meals and accommodation need explicit confirmation if requested.
Start with your hotel, date and passengers. Add your destination, preferred stops and whether you need help arranging a guide in the journey notes. The team checks feasibility and availability before sending a proposal. Your trip is confirmed after you accept the quote.
