Destinations

Paris, France

Start with the Eiffel Tower, Louvre Museum, and a stroll along the Champs-Élysées — classic first-timer must-sees. Explore the charming Montmartre neighbourhood and enjoy café culture with croissants and crêpes. Don't miss a Seine river cruise at sunset for iconic views of Notre-Dame and the city skyline.
Reims, France

Just 45 minutes from Paris by TGV, Reims is a perfect and easy day trip for the football match at Stade Auguste-Delaune. Before kick-off, visit the stunning Gothic Reims Cathedral where French kings were crowned. Celebrate a win (or a loss!) with a glass of local Champagne — the region is the world's Champagne capital.
Versailles, France

A 40-minute RER train ride from central Paris, the Palace of Versailles and its magnificent gardens are an unmissable day trip for first-timers. Book tickets in advance to skip long queues and explore the Hall of Mirrors and the grand royal apartments. Pack a picnic to enjoy on the vast palace grounds among fountains and perfectly manicured lawns.
