Avignon에서 Paris까지 Private car transfer

Paris was the epicenter of the French Revolution (1789 to 1799), which influenced the restructuring of the monarchy to a republic and introduced the rights to life, liberty, and property to the modern era. However, these new rights did not extend to the colonies of the French Empire until much later.

The impact of the French Empire can be felt in Paris today. Paris is an incredibly international city with immigrants and visitors from all over the world. You’ll have the opportunity to eat at traditional French restaurants alongside restaurants that bring in Caribbean and African flavors and techniques.

Paris: the ultimate French language exam

French is spoken by over 320 million people and most of them live outside of mainland France. It is an official language of 32 countries and is a popular school elective. Much of the French language spoken outside of France has blended with indigenous languages and English to take on new forms and dialects, often referred to as creole. Even the term lingua franca originally meant "French language."

The Académie Française sets the official standards for the French language, but not without controversy. It advises against using loan words (email vs. courriel) despite the adaptations people have made to make the French language their own. While you’ll hear varieties of French within the country, Parisian French is still the textbook standard taught in schools. For visitors to Paris, the strict adherence to the Parisian dialect can be intimidating, but a rite of passage among language students.

Dress for the sightseeing stops you have planned

Each sightseeing stop is unique. Some of the sightseeing stops, like the Crocodile Farm in Pierrelatte, require comfortable shoes for all of the walking and time outdoors. For the Vezelay Abbey, it is best to wear modest clothing.

Hire a private driver from Daytrip for the flexibility and convenience of renting a car without the hassle of getting an international driving license, learning European road signage, or driving (or parking) in Paris.

To make your trip even more unforgettable, Daytrip is also the only option that lets you easily stop for sightseeing at icons like the UNESCO-listed Roman Roman theater and Triumphal Arch in Orange, the jaw-dropping Palace of Fontainebleau, or the Romanesque masterpiece of Vezelay Abbey.

Find your artistic side at the Louvre Museum (Musée du Louvre)

The Louvre Museum is a once-in-a-lifetime experience to see some of the world’s most famous artworks all under one glass, pyramid-shaped roof. The Louvre’s vast collection can be visited again and again- there’s always something new to discover. See the classics like Venus de Milo, Liberty Leading the People, and The Lacemaker. Given how popular the Louvre is, especially to see the Mona Lisa, you should book your tickets ahead of time to avoid the long lines for last-minute tickets.

Tour the Eiffel Tower

If there is one thing that unites everything Parisian under one symbol, it is the Eiffel Tower. It is the most frequently visited paid attraction in Europe, and for good reason. After you cruise vertically up in the glass elevator, you can have a glass of champagne at the bar, eat at one of the restaurants, or shop for gifts and baked goods.

It has multiple viewing platforms and telescopes both inside and outside for a bird’s eye view of Paris no matter the weather. While the Eiffel Tower wasn’t always popular, it sure is today! Tickets can sell out months in advance, so book yours today.
