Some of France's most famous sights are within a day's reach of Paris, and the tours on this page cover the best of them: Louis XIV's palace at Versailles, Monet's house and gardens at Giverny, the Champagne houses of Reims and Épernay, the abbey of Mont-Saint-Michel and the D-Day beaches of Normandy. Tours take care of transport, and many include entry and a guide.

Before you book

Check whether entry tickets are included or only transport. Mont-Saint-Michel and Normandy are long days, often 12 to 14 hours. Giverny is only open from April to early November. Versailles is closed on Mondays and is easy to reach independently by RER C, about 40 minutes from central Paris.

Paris day trips: questions

Which day trip from Paris is best?

Versailles is the classic first choice. Giverny is a favourite from spring to autumn, and Champagne or Mont-Saint-Michel make a memorable full day.

Can I visit Giverny in winter?

No. Monet's house and gardens are open only from 1 April to 1 November.

Do I need a tour for Versailles?

No. The RER C and a standard €2.55 ticket get you there, but a guided tour helps you skip queues and understand the palace.
