Duration: 7 Days
Coffee and croissants. Tea with jam and scones. Cathedrals and bells. Some things just naturally belong together, and Paris and London are no exception. This Independent City Stay pairs the best of both worlds with 7 days in the City of Light and the Swinging City. Take the I-time you deserve to really get to know these incredible places and explore like a local along the Champs-Élysées or in Covent Garden. Another two things that belong together are you and this Paris/London adventure.
