August 26, 2022
26th – 29th August 2022
Taking advantage of the long Bank Holiday Weekend this great value, short break offers you the opportunity to explore Paris and visit two of France’s top tourist attractions , the wonderful Palace of Versailles and Monet’s exquisite garden at Giverny.
The tour will depart from Dorking at 05.30 on Friday to arrive in Paris by mid-late afternoon, having crossed the Channel via ferry. Then, after check-in at the hotel, the evening is completely free.
On Saturday there will be a trip to Versailles, while Sunday will offer you the chance to visit Monet’s stunning garden at Giverny in Normandy.
In both cases the coach will return to the hotel by mid-afternoon and then allow for some time to relax before being available again in the evening to provide transfers into and back from Central Paris.
On Monday the coach will drop passengers in the Montmartre area before returning after lunch to start the homeward journey. The expected time of arrival back in Dorking is 21.30.
Visiting The Palace of Versailles
Undoubtedly one of the world’s top tourist attractions, the Palace of Versailles attracts huge numbers of visitors. The best way around the inevitable queue for entrance is to book a timed group tour with an official guide. At £38 per person this isn’t cheap, but it’s money well spent, but please note that we will need a minimum of 15 passengers to be viable as a group.
