7 Days in France & Switzerland, incl. Paris and Zurich
This 7-day tour blends Paris's landmarks with Swiss mountain beauty. The itinerary features the Eiffel Tower, Seine River, Mount Titlis, and Lake Lucerne. Guests stay at Hotel L'Interlude in Paris and Drei Konige in Lucerne, connected by comfortable train rides.
- Days 1-3
Paris
Book a morning flight into Charles de Gaulle Airport to avoid heavy traffic. A recent traveler shared: "The detailed documentation saved us lots of time figuring out logistics, especially with Paris's complex metro system." Start with a Seine River cruise between 4-5pm for optimal lighting conditions followed by the Eiffel Tower. Book your summit visit about an hour before sunset to see Paris in both daylight and after dark. Get there 15 minutes early with your skip-the-line ticket. Your second day covers historic Paris on foot. Visit Notre Dame and Pont Neuf before spending 2-3 hours at the Louvre. Use the Porte des Lions entrance to avoid crowds and see the Mona Lisa first thing. Day 3 takes you through local neighborhoods. Start at Champs-Élysées in the morning then explore Montmartre before crowds fill the Sacré-Cœur. Visit Père Lachaise Cemetery in late afternoon when sunlight filters through the trees.
- Days 4-5
Lucerne
Take an early train from Paris to Lucerne (6 hours). Your Swiss Pass covers all Swiss train travel. Head to Mount Rigi right after arrival for spectacular lake views from the cogwheel train. Start early the next day for Mount Titlis. Take the 8:30am train to Engelberg to get ahead of tour groups. You'll get amazing glacier views from the rotating cable car and Ice Flyer chairlift. End your day with a Lake Lucerne boat cruise from the upper deck.
- Days 6-7
Zurich
It's a quick hour by train to Zurich from Lucerne. Spend the afternoon walking through Old Town's narrow streets. Take a morning trip to Rhine Falls and try the boat ride (CHF 15) that brings you close to the water. The airport train from central Zurich runs frequently. Plan to arrive 90 minutes before check-in time for security.
