Paris Extension July 26 - 30

Your time in Paris is yours to make the most of - you decide which group tours interest you and when to take time to explore independently with friends and join up with the group for dinner and evening activities. Every day there will be a number of organized tour options, from the classic Parisian monuments to some of the city's lesser-known corners. We'll do everything we can to introduce you to the city, but after your time in Nice, you'll have all the tools and confidence you need to discover your own Paris.
