    We travel to Paris on an afternoon Eurostar service, arriving in the city of light and transferring to our hotel. We then gather for a warm welcome and introduction from our Tour Leader, setting the tone for the days of discovery ahead.

  2. In Paris

    This morning we attend the early English language Mass at Saint Joseph Catholic Church - the only English-speaking Catholic parish in Paris. Afterwards, we enjoy a guided visit to two significant sites of devotion: the Chapel of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal, where Saint Catherine Labouré received her visions, and the nearby Chapel of Saint Vincent de Paul, honouring the patron saint of charity. In the afternoon, we continue with a guided visit to the Musée de l’Armée at Les Invalides, focusing on the magnificent Dôme Church - the resting place of Napoleon and one of Paris’s grandest Baroque landmarks. Following the tour, there will be free time to explore at your leisure; those who wish may stroll towards the nearby Champ de Mars for wonderful views of the Eiffel Tower. In the evening, we attend a classical concert at Notre Dame Cathedral, enjoying the magical acoustics of this iconic Parisian landmark.

In the afternoon, our exploration continues with a guided visit to Saint-Sulpice, one of the city’s largest and most historic churches. We then take time to wander through the beautiful Jardin du Luxembourg, with free time to relax, soak up the atmosphere, or explore at your own pace.
