Day 8, Thursday 12^th July 2012:

Option 1 ends this morning upon check-out

Optional trip extension begins

Day of visit & Paris dinner cruise

Participants who selected Option 1 will be leaving us at their leisure this morning. Our hotel is only 20 minutes away from Paris Charles de Gaulle int'l airport where they will return their rental cars. For those who elected to enjoy the trip extension, we will board our private shuttle to take a royal visit at the grandiose Chateau de Chantilly.

We will enjoy a private guided tour of the Chateau and private apartments, its park as well as of the Conde Museum. After the Louvre, this museum is home to one of the most prestigious collection of classical paintings, including 3 Raphael. It is also home of the Grand Stables, considered among the most beautiful in the world, and prominently featured in one of the James Bond movie.
A more historic claim to fame is whipped cream (Creme Chantilly), which was invented here in 1671 for a banquet in honor of Louis the XIV, the Sun King !

After the visit, we will have lunch at the Chateau, and make our way back to Paris at our 4 star hotel. Relax for the rest of the day or shop for those last souvenirs.

Early evening, we will transfer to the banks of the Seine River and board our luxurious cruise ship for an unforgettable dinner cruise.
During this romantic evening, you will see some of the most famous Parisian monuments glowing under the night spotlights and where all their magnificent architectures come to life... Enjoy !

Our memorable last evening in Paris unfortunately came to an end. We'll make our way back to our hotel. It is time to start packing, say goodbye to new friends and just think of all those timeless memories we can now take back with us... What a trip this was, truly the Trip of a Lifetime !!!
