    Detailed Itinerary
    Day 1 Welcome to Paris
    DinnerMeals:
    Paris is unique in that it is a major global city - home to more than 10 million people in the greater region
    - yet it manages to synthesize the rhythms of village life with those of a cosmopolitan world capital.
    Although the city is a center of European commerce, many shops are closed on Sundays, leaving time for
    lazy brunches or shopping excursions at a local market.
    Paris is the capital of fashion, art, and people-watching, a city where Chanel-clad ladies walk poodles
    along grand boulevards, a place where the waiters might be rude but the food is dlicieux.
    Paris is all of that and more. On arrival in Paris, check into your hotel. Later proceed to enjoy hot and
    sumptuous Indian dinner at an Indian restaurant.
    Day 2 Paris
    Breakfast / DinnerMeals:
    After a continental breakfast, proceed for a guided orientation city tour of Paris which includes Arc De
    Triomphe, Concorde Square, The Invalids, The Opera Garnier and the Champs Elysees.
    Proceed to the Eiffel Tower and come face to face with Paris' biggest landmark, the Eiffel Tower. This is
    without doubt one of the most recognizable structures in the world. Weighing 7,000 tons, but exerting
    about the same pressure on the ground as an average-size person sitting in a chair, the wrought iron
    tower wasn't meant to be permanent.
    Gustave - Alexandre, the French Engineer whose fame rested mainly on his iron bridges, built it for the
    1889 Universal Exhibition (Eiffel also designed the frame work for the Statue of Liberty).
