4 Nights in Paris | A Picture of a Thousand French Words
Some cities capture your imagination. Paris has a way of making you feel as though you’ve stepped into a picture you’ve always wanted to paint.
Here, elegant boulevards beckon with the promise of a leisurely stroll, café terraces invite you to order another croissant, and the Seine reflects a city that has perfected the art of making everyday moments feel like a scene from a romantic film.
Begin your stay with a privately guided introduction to the French capital, taking in the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe, and the grand surroundings of the Opéra Garnier district before crossing to Île de la Cité to bid a friendly bonjour to the gargoyles of Notre-Dame. We promise, they’re friendlier than they look.
The Gargoyles of Notre-Dame
Ever wondered why Notre-Dame is guarded by an army of stone creatures? Well, these curious figures are more than just Gothic decoration. The cathedral’s true gargoyles double as waterspouts, channeling rainwater away from the walls to protect the stonework. Meanwhile, their more famous neighbors, the fantastical chimeras, are purely ornamental. Among them is Stryge, a winged, demon-like figure famously perched with its head resting in its hands as it gazes out over Paris...and Notre-Dame’s visitors
Then, let France make a further impression at the home of a famous impressionist in Giverny, where Monet’s celebrated gardens offer a glimpse into the inspiration behind his most beloved works. Paired with lunch in the French countryside, this is as picturesque as France gets without stepping into one of its galleries.
Back in Paris, the final day is yours to shape. Perhaps a royal visit to Versailles is in order, or an afternoon devoted to boutique shopping in the capital of fashion. However you choose to spend the day, let it end with a cruise along the Seine, leaving you with a picture-perfect image of the City of Light in all its luminous splendor.

3 Nights in Prague | A Fairytale to Czech Off the List
You may as well throw away your in-flight reading materials, because Prague is a storybook waiting to be opened.
With its Gothic spires, ornate façades, and cobblestone lanes, the City of a Hundred Spires has a way of elevating every visit into something lifted from a fairytale.
Begin with a privately guided tour of the city’s storied heart. Venture to Wenceslas Square before passing the Powder Tower and the ornate Municipal House, where Art Nouveau flourishes amid reminders of Prague’s royal past.
Make your way to Old Town Square and stand amid its richly decorated façades, checking the time on the famous astronomical clock before following in the footsteps of Czech kings toward Charles Bridge.
And since we’re talking about royalty, don’t miss Prague Castle, the world’s largest ancient castle complex, where grand courtyards and palaces offer a regal spectacle that could give even France’s châteaux something to aspire to.
For a change of scenery, or a glimpse of life as Czech nobility, venture north to Mělník and explore its stately castle, home to the Lobkowicz family. Admire its richly decorated interiors before descending into the historic wine cellars for a tasting of locally produced wines, accompanied by cheese or fresh bread. After all, France needn’t have the last word when it comes to those.
And with sweeping views over the meeting point of the Elbe and Vltava rivers, Mělník makes a fitting final chapter to your Czech escape. Because every good story deserves a memorable ending.
