Paris, famed for being the city of lights and love, is one of the most romantic cities in Europe and a truly remarkable destination to explore. Staying in enchanting Chartres, during our stay we can also enjoy the Festival of Lights event - when monuments and major attractions in the city are illuminated!
This holiday operates under our Optimum Experience brand.
With elegant space-maximising interior design, our Optimum Experience vehicle offers incredible passenger comfort with a selection of fine tours and destinations to choose from. Our Optimum holiday packages include a wide range of excursions, events and admissions, accommodation in a minimum 3* hotel (unless otherwise stated) and, on all our European Holidays, a Skills Representative too!

After early pick-ups, we depart for our channel crossing to France, where we continue to our hotel in central Chartres.
Today, we enjoy a full-day excursion into Paris. Tree-lined boulevards, an abundance of historical monuments, and the River Seine help make Paris one of the most recognizable cityscapes in the world. Home to the iconic landmarks Eiffel Tower - the world's most visited tourist attraction - the Arc de Triomphe and the Louvre, home of the Mona Lisa, there's no shortage of destinations on our visit to the City of Love!
Why not join us for an optional visit to the Palace of Versailles? The former home of French royalty and a UNESCO World Heritage Site is home to stunning architecture, classical interior design, a fine art collection, exquisite estate and gardens. Alternatively, enjoy free time exploring Chartes, the 'City of Light and Perfume'! A historic settlement on the River Eure, Chartres is best known for its spectacular Gothic cathedral and is home to the famous Festival of Lights, which transforms the city into an otherworldly delight
We return via ferry crossing, then road back home.
Located a short walk away from the Cathedral, B&B Hotel Chartres Centre Cathedrale offers comfortable and stylish bedrooms in central Chartres.
