A Week To Remember
The Louvre Museum
Musée du Louvre, commonly referred to as The
Louvre, is one of the oldest, largest, and most
famous art museums in the world. Located in the
center of Paris, the building was originally built as
a fortress in 1190 by King Phillipe-Auguste. This
vast royal residence assumed its present form in
the 18th century. Over the years, donations and
purchases have enabled the museum to greatly
expand its original royal collections.
Versailles
Situated southwest of Paris, Château de Versailles
was originally no more than a modest hunting
lodge for King Louis XIV. Now featuring 700
rooms, 67 staircases and more than 1,200
windows, it is home to the famous Hall of
Mirrors, where the Treaty of Versailles was
signed signifying the end of WWI. Meticulously
groomed formal gardens, statues and over
1,300 fountains highlight the grounds.
Seine River Cruise
The river Seine is the heart and soul of Paris.
Once a great commercial artery, the Seine is
now a tourist must-do. Discover the highlights of
Paris from a completely different vantage point.
Art and history lovers will be awe-struck as they
leisurely float past architectural marvels such
as the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame Cathedral.
Fabulous by day but unforgettable by night,
experience the essence of Parisian romance
while drifting under the Seine's brilliantly
illuminated bridges.
