Prices include flights, hotels and transfers. Many options are multi-city with intercity transportation and sometimes sightseeing. Need help choosing? Talk to an agent who has been to France.
France is one of the most visited countries in the world, and Canadian travellers have exceptional access to it. The country offers an extraordinary range of experiences within a reasonable travel window: a world-class capital city in Paris, wine regions that can be explored from a single base, the coastline and lavender fields of Provence, the D-Day beaches of Normandy, and the glamour of the French Riviera. Our France packages are designed for independent travellers: you get flights + hotels + transfers in one package, but you set the pace. Many options include intercity transportation for travellers who want to combine Paris with a regional destination.
Departure airports: most package options are built around Toronto and Montreal, both of which have strong nonstop service to Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG) year-round. Ottawa has seasonal nonstop options to Paris. Halifax, Vancouver and other Canadian gateways connect through Montreal, Toronto or a European hub. If your city is not listed, please call us as we can price options beyond what is shown on the website.
Popular itineraries
Most France packages are built around Paris as the anchor, either as a standalone city trip of 7 to 10 nights or as the starting point for a broader French itinerary. Popular extensions from Paris include Normandy (D-Day beaches and Mont-Saint-Michel, accessible by train or day tour), the Loire Valley (chateaux and wine, an easy day trip or short extension), and Provence and the French Riviera (Nice and the Cote d'Azur, reached by high-speed TGV train from Paris in about 5.5 hours).
Where to stay in Paris (examples)
Hotels in Paris are typically described by arrondissement (district). The most popular areas for visitors:
Le Marais (3rd/4th): one of the most characterful areas, with medieval streets, the Place des Vosges, excellent restaurants and good access to the Pompidou Centre and the Notre-Dame area.
Saint-Germain-des-Pres / Latin Quarter (5th/6th): the classic Left Bank, associated with cafes, bookshops and the Luxembourg Gardens. Well-located for the Musee d'Orsay.
Near the Louvre / Les Halles (1st/2nd): very central, walking distance from the Louvre, the Tuileries and the Palais Royal.
Champs-Elysees / 8th arrondissement: upscale area near the Arc de Triomphe. Good range of hotels from mid-range to luxury.
Montmartre (18th): hilltop neighbourhood with the Sacre-Coeur, independent restaurants and a more relaxed pace than central Paris. Best for travellers who have already seen the major sites.
Weather and when to go
Paris is a year-round destination, though each season has trade-offs. Spring (April to early June) is widely considered the best time to visit: temperatures are mild (15 to 22C), the city is green and the main sites are accessible without summer crowds. Summer (July and August) is the busiest and most expensive period, with peak temperatures of 25 to 30C. Many Parisians leave the city in August, which means some neighbourhood restaurants close. Fall (September and October) brings pleasant temperatures and a more local feel. Winter (November to March) is quiet and mild by Canadian standards (4 to 9C), and a good time for museum-focused trips and lower hotel prices.

This was our first experience in Paris and we couldn't have chosen a better hotel. Everyone was very accommodating from the front end staff to the kitchen staff. The hotel is beautiful and so quaint and modern. This was also the best all-inclusive breakfast we've had in Europe. We will definitely stay here again if we return to Paris.

Room was clean,

Staff was very nice too,
Weather was warm every day
Great Stay recently at Citadines Trocadero in Paris, France. All hotel staff spoke English and were pleasant and friendly to deal with. Room was clean and the apartment style was much more functional then a regular hotel room would have been. Trocadero and the Eiffel Tower was a 4-5 min walk along with the Trocadero Metro station which connected us to everywhere we wanted to go. Lots of local shops and restaurants within walking distance and two groceries stores just down the street as we had a kitchen in our apartment. Highly recommend and if we are in the Paris area again would definitely stay again.
We had a wonderful week stay at Little Palace! All staff members were very pleasant and accommodating. The best thing about this hotel is the location - central and close to all the major attractions! Highly recommend this hotel for the exceptional service and proximity to all the amazing things Paris has to offer!

Verified PurchaserHotel Andre Latin: Latin Quarter Great!
My wife and I stayed at this hotel in the Latin quarter. This was a particularly good location. The room was quite small, of course, pretty normal for European standards. It was very quiet and clean, slightly modern. The bathroom was quite small with a tiny shower. The maids and receptionist staff were very polite and friendly. We found that Sophie especially was very kind and helpful. Our ride to the airport was quite late and she made multiple calls for us, in 3 different languages!
Breakfast was continental and quite good. The lobby bar did not seem to adhere to its scheduled hours.

Verified PurchaserHotel Jardin Le Brea: Perfecf Hotel for a Great City
Jardin le Brea was a well priced hotel in a very convenient location. While the rooms were compact, it provided everything that was needed. The room had a very attractive decor and a comfortable bed with decent storage and safe.
The service was superb as the hotel personel were all very helpful and went up and beyond to answer questions and concerns.
We were provided with an excellent breakfast every morning- which was part of the highlight of the hotel.
All in all, we strongly recommend this hotel to any visitor looking to tour all the main attractions.

Verified PurchaserHotel Littre: Simple and sweet
Pros:
- Hotel was VERY clean and well-kept.
- Room was very clean also
- Respectful staffs, great customer service.
- AMAZING breakfast
- Decent location, cost about $8-10 cab fare from this hotel to Eiffel Tower
- There’s a McDonald’s, a few cafes and a convenient store right up the street (1-3 min walk)
Cons:
- we had the standard room so it was a very small room. Not sure if they offer bigger rooms as an “upgradeâ€, we never really bothered since it’s all you really need since you’ll be out all day anyways!

This was 1 of the best hotels on our 7 week trip. The room was a good size and the bathroom was terrific. The breakfast was better than the English hotel we stayed in. The only thing that could have been better was the TV. It was a little on the small side. Close to the train station and the metro. The staff was very helpful, especially since I don't speak French.

The hotel was very nice. It was clean and in a fairly good location. The staff was helpful and friendly. The breakfast has sufficient options and was always well organized and ready to go. The hotel is very cute and on a nice, relatively quiet street with lots of restaurants around.
It's a beautiful small hotel in central Paris, good services and you have the metro pastuer in front that is nice. If you want to walk touristic place are around 2 to 3 km. The area around its ok to walk midnight, we love this hotel.

Verified PurchaserHotel Louison: Everything I could've asked for
I stayed in this hotel for my first time in Paris, on recommendation from my travel agent, and the idea in my head wasn't nearly as fantastic as this hotel. The staff were all lovely, (and all very good-looking, weirdly enough) and very helpful. Breakfast was simple and delicious and a great start to the day. The rooms were spotless and had 2 little balconies that were nice to go stand on at sunset. About a half hour walk from the Eiffel Tower and Louvre, and right down the street from Luxembourg Garden. About a 5-10 minute walk from a decent sized mall as well. Nearby were tons of cafes and bakeries, and it was wonderful. I would definitely stay again if I return to Paris.

Verified PurchaserMercure Grimaldi: Great hotel!
We enjoyed our 3 night stay at thishotel. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The location was good - just a short walk to Old Nice and the Promenade D'Anglais. We were in a King Size bed room and it was very spacious and comfortable. Breakfast was included and very good with lots of variety. We would definitely stay here again. The only downside was construction happening outside which woke us up early in the morning (obviously this was not the fault of the hotel)
People at the front desk were very friendly, welcoming and helpful. The room was clean, had adequate kitchen facilities and our room was changed once during the week. One negative was its location----too far away from transportation and main attractions of Paris. Unless you are prepared to walk, walk and walk this location is not for you. There were no interesting restaurants in the immediate area--another negative. The picture on the site does not exist at the hotel. The room picture is accurate. Would recommend this location for the very young who are on a budget.

This is a large chain hotel that is a little over priced for what is offered. We had originally booked a queen bedroom and wanted to upgrade to a king bedroom and was charged nearly $500 Canadian to do so. They offered a gym that was nothing more than a regular room with 2 treadmills and 10lbs weights. The restaurant was good but very expensive. The best part of the hotel was the concierge, they were so helpful.

Verified PurchaserHotel du College de France: Satisfactory Accomodations
The hotel is old and has plenty of peeling paint, patched up carpets and ongoing room repair noises of hammering, dry walling, and plumbing. The bathroom, linens and decor are dated. All rooms face streetwise, so night noise is common.
In spite of the barely satisfactory environment, the hotel is in a central location (7th Arondissement) which is good for taxi, bus and tour pick-ups. The management was friendly and helpful, the breakfasts were excellent with an assortment of meat, cheese, fresh baked croissants and baguettes, yoghurt, fresh fruit and hot chocolate, tea, coffee. The hotel was distinctly 'francais', so we were immmersed in local culture rather than international hotel atmosphere. Our Local friends thought that the price was fairly high, so it would be good to shop around a bit more before selecting this one. When and if the renovations are complete, it could be a 4 Star, but it looked like they weren't in a hurry to get it finished. We only ate and slept there, so it was fine, and Paris was so fabulous that it made up for the hotel. Bon Courage!

Verified PurchaserAdagio Access Paris Porte de Charenton: Just o.k.
So, i recently stayed at the Adagio. When i got there they didn't have my reservation which was loads of fun after a whole day of exhausting flying all the way from Canada. The girls went out of their way to find me a room though, so that was good. The room was fine, but tiny. Apparently this is common in France though. I couldn't get internet wifi on either my laptop or my phone as they had a terrible wifi service and racked up $200 worth of internet charges on my phone as i had to use it for business. Found out Mcdonalds had a great Wifi service though, and passed that along to them. I found being an English speaking canadian a big pain, their staff had very limited english ability. I needed a garbage bag for my room, and one of their male staffers told me to go buy some. Really? You would rather i have fruit flies all over my room , instead? When i wanted to rent a Velib bike outside and asked for help i was met with blank stares. Super frustrating! Get some bilingual people working at your desk! Otherwise my stay was fine. The hotel was near a lot of metro stops and was safe and clean and a nice neighborhood and affordable. I would stay there again as the kitchenette saved me a fortune as i shopped at the monoprix right down the street for groceries and cooked in.

Verified PurchaserCitadines Tour Eiffel: Average Hotel
Initially when we arrived our room was not ready. We had pre-paid for this room, yet the people in front of us who walked in off the street, got a room immediately. We had ordered two double beds, only to receive a king size bed for the two us. Nobody informed us that it is normal in Europe only to receive two single beds. We were advised to return at 3:00 p.m. for our room. Upon return at 5:00 p.m., our room was set up as a king size bed, after requesting two double beds in the morning. After having it changed, the toilet was not working, but was fixed later. Then our telephone did not work for outgoing calls. After 45 minutes of communicating with the front desk, they finally came up and fixed it. The room was smaller than expected. Upon reflection, overall the room was satisfactory. It was clean. Just being tired after arrival from Canada and having pre-ordered the room, and having all these initial problems, it was a disappointment initially. The location was good.
