Full Description

Paris and the France Beyond It

Most five-day Paris holidays spend all five days inside the ring road. This one spends two in the city, one at the royal palace on its edge and two in Normandy, because the region an hour or three to the west holds the most memorable places in northern France and they are wasted as a rushed single day. This five-day programme suits families who have seen Paris once already or who want more than a checklist: the abbey rising from the sea, the beaches of 1944, the gardens Monet painted.

Day One: Arrival and the Seine

A driver meets you at the airport and takes you to the hotel. The evening is a Seine cruise past the lit monuments, the softest first hour a family can have in Paris, followed by dinner near the hotel at a halal restaurant from the plan.

Day Two: The City With a Guide

The guide and the car cover the capital: the Louvre in a focused ninety minutes, the Eiffel Tower with a reserved lift time, the Champs-Élysées and the Arc de Triomphe, the islands and Notre-Dame, with a halal lunch and a stop at the Grande Mosquée for anyone who wishes. The order bends to the family and the weather. The evening is free.

Day Three: Versailles

Versailles, thirty minutes west, fills the third day: the royal apartments and the mirrored hall with your guide ahead of the coaches, then the gardens, and for those still fresh the two Trianons and the Queen's Hamlet reached by the little train. Lunch is in the town. The car has you back in Paris by late afternoon.

Day Four: Normandy Beaches or Giverny

Families choose between two Normandies. The landing beaches make a full day of history, from Omaha and the cemetery on its cliff to Pointe du Hoc and Arromanches, memorable for children of ten and over. Giverny is a half day of beauty: Claude Monet's house, the flower garden and the water-lily pond with its Japanese bridge, open spring to autumn, followed by a free afternoon in Paris. Tell us which and the plan is built around it.

Day Five: Mont Saint-Michel

The last day is the longest and the one families talk about afterwards. The abbey of Mont Saint-Michel stands on a rock in a bay where the tide comes in faster than a horse can run, and the village climbs its slopes inside medieval walls. The private car leaves early, the guide walks you up the lanes and through the abbey, and there is time on the ramparts and for lunch before the drive back. Departure is late that evening or the next morning, and we build the flight timing into the plan.

The Hotel

The four nights are spent in a hotel in the heart of Paris, breakfast included, picked for its family rooms and for streets that make the free evenings a walk rather than a journey. Say whether four or five stars and which district appeals, and the hotel is named in the written quote. If you prefer to sleep near Mont Saint-Michel on the last night and fly from Paris the next day, we swap the fourth night and price it.

Food, Prayer and Pace

Halal restaurants are listed near the hotel and at each day's stops; on the Normandy days the guide reserves a restaurant that keeps pork off the family's table. Prayer times are marked against each day, and the private car stops for them. The pace is set by the family: grandparents and small children can shorten any walk while the others continue.

What Is Not in the Price

International flights, lunches and dinners, the Eiffel Tower summit supplement, the Versailles little train, personal spending, travel insurance and tips. The written quote repeats this list; every night, transfer, ticket and guide day that is included is named item by item.

Booking the Package

Give Haqqi Tours your flight times, the adults and children travelling with the children's ages, the hotel category you prefer and which option you want on day four. A full five-day plan comes back naming the hotel, with every entry reserved, each pickup timed and a single family price, in your language; approval comes first, and any later change is handled in that same thread.

Good to know

  • Give us your flight times first; the five days are ordered around the museum closing days and the last-day departure.
  • Pack for two climates: Paris in the city and wind on the Normandy coast, whatever the month.
  • Choose Giverny if you travel between April and October with young children; the beaches if you travel with teenagers.
  • Bring good walking shoes for Mont Saint-Michel; the lanes are steep and the abbey is stairs.
  • Ask for a hotel near a metro line you will use in the free evenings; the plan suggests one.
  • Keep the last-day flight late in the evening or move it to the next morning; Mont Saint-Michel is not a place to rush.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long is the drive to Mont Saint-Michel?
About four hours each way from Paris by private car, so the day starts early; the abbey and the bay reward it, and the car is comfortable for children to sleep in.
Should we choose the D-Day beaches or Giverny on day four?
Beaches for history and children from about ten; Giverny for gardens, art and a free afternoon in Paris. Giverny opens only from spring to autumn.
Can we sleep near Mont Saint-Michel on the last night?
Yes, the fourth night can move to a hotel by the bay, with the transfer to Paris airport the next morning; we price the change.
Is the guide with us on every day?
Yes on the city day, Versailles, Normandy and Mont Saint-Michel. The arrival evening cruise and the free evenings are yours.
Is the package suitable for children?
Yes from about eight; the day trips are long but in a private car with stops, and the guide adjusts the walking. Younger children manage Giverny better than the beaches.
Are halal meals arranged on the day trips?
The guide reserves restaurants that keep pork off the family's table and confirms it; in Paris the plan lists halal restaurants near the hotel.
What if the tide is high at Mont Saint-Michel?
The bridge keeps the island reachable at almost all tides, and the guide checks the tide table when setting the day's timing.
Can we replace Versailles with Disneyland?
Yes, for families with young children; the palace tickets and the guide day are swapped for park tickets and a car both ways, and the quote changes accordingly.
Is there time for shopping?
The free evenings and the Champs-Élysées on the city day; a dedicated shopping afternoon can replace the Giverny option if you prefer.
What happens on a Monday or Tuesday?
The palace shuts on Mondays and the Louvre on Tuesdays, so the five days are arranged around your dates once we have them.
