Paris
Paris offers an eclectic mix of extraordinary culture, world famous cuisine and a vibrant atmosphere. Climb the Eiffel Tower, see the artists at work on the Place du Tertre, or simply take in the sights from a boat trip along the Seine. With performances in some of the capital’s most beautiful concert settings, a tour to this fascinating city will live long in your group’s memories. Throughout the summer, bands can perform outdoors as part of the parks and gardens concert series, where brass band performances attract large audiences. Paris is a great destination for a long weekend tour, although with so much to see you’ll most definitely want to stay longer.
