> Blog: Itinerary Ideas for a Day Trip to Paris

Heading to Paris for a day trip? Maybe you’ve booked a Paris and Disney explorer with PGL and you’ve already visited Disneyland® Paris , or maybe you’ve got that coming up! Anyhow, whatever the reason for your day trip to Paris you’ll be sure to find some fun things to see and do in Paris.

What to do on a day trip to Paris

Here are some of our top picks for things to see and do in Paris. If our guests ask us what to do on a day trip to Paris then these are often our recommendations! 

Eiffel Tower

You can’t go to Paris for a day trip and not go to this incredibly famous landmark! It’s the most iconic tower in the world and offers fantastic 360º views of the capital city. If your family doesn’t want to head to the top of the tower then that’s no problem, you can still go underneath and experience the sheer size of it. 

The Seine

The River Seine is a stunning river that runs through the centre of Paris and much of Northern France. If your family love a boat ride, then hop on and explore the city while sailing down the Seine! It’s a great activity to rest tired legs, and you get a brilliant view too! It’s a fun and unique way to experience this picturesque city.

The Louvre

The Louvre houses a collection of world-famous paintings, including the Mona Lisa! If your kids enjoy art, then this could be a great inspiration for them. The glass pyramid entrance is an amazing sight, even if you visit just to see this, it’s definitely worth it.

Go to a traditional French restaurant

You’ve got to try the fantastic French cuisine when you’re in Paris. There are countless places serving up spectacular traditional French food, so why not give it a go? Beef Bourguignon, French Onion Soup, and Crêpes — sounds good right? If you’re staying at our Chateau then you can make a packed lunch to bring with you!

Disneyland®

Don’t forget about this magical kingdom! Filled with thrilling attractions and incredible adventures, Disneyland offers a wealth of fun for the whole family. On a French adventure with PGL, you can include a trip to Disneyland as well as Paris in your stay, so you get the best of both worlds!

Stade de France

This is one for the football fanatics! You can take your family on a tour around France’s Rugby Union and Football team’s national stadium. With a capacity of 80,000, this grand sporting venue is the sixth-largest stadium in Europe. If you’re in Paris at the right time, maybe you can catch a match to watch!
