Paris is known as the "City of Lights" for being the first city to provide its streets and buildings with street lighting. However, it makes just as much sense to call it the City of Lights because of the way it looks when it's illuminated at dusk. The tour begins at the Opera Garnier. See some of the main monuments and sites of Paris with beautiful illuminations of the city such as the Madeleine, an impressive church similar to Roman-style architecture; the Champs Elysees, one of the most important avenues in Paris; and the Elysee Palace, the seat of the presidency of the French Republic. Discover the monumental surroundings of the Grand Palace of Paris, the Petit Palais, the Pont Alexandre Ill, and the National Palace of the Invalides, which is where the remains of Napoleon are found. The tour ends at the beautiful Soul Bridge, which crosses the Seine River. Choose to include a boat trip on the Seine when booking to complete your experience.
