Whether it's gastronomic greatness, artistic endeavor or cultural cachet you're looking for, there's no doubt that France still sits right at the top of the European heap. France is the country for which the word chic was invented - seductive and aloof, old-fashioned and forward-looking, but always characterized by a certain je ne sais quoi.
Itinerary :
Day 01: Mumbai - Paris (Lifestyle Holidays recommends visit to Eiffel Tower in the evening)
Take your flight from India to Paris. On arrival meet and assist and transfer to your hotel. Paris stimulates the senses, demanding to be seen, heard, touched, tasted and smelt. From romance along the Seine to landscapes on bus-sized canvases to the pick-an-ism types in cafes monologuing on the use of garlic or the finer points of Jerry Lewis, Paris is the essence of all things French. In the evening you may visit the Eiffel Tower which looks simply beautiful illuminated. Overnight in your Paris hotel.
Day 02 : Paris - Seinorama Tour

Day 03 : Paris - Nice
After breakfast proceed to the train station to board your train to Nice, the capital of the Côte d'Azur, is not 'nice' - what an insult! Nice is a sparky, sexy city, with a gritty underside that keeps it grounded. If Nice were a person, it would wear designer cocktail dresses with old army boots, cause lots of trouble and be livid about that insipid adjective.
Nice's beaches are pebbly. On the other hand there are a lot of them, and most are free, warm and clean as a whistle. The city itself is brash and bold (no such thing as being too old to wear a bikini) and enormously popular, so if you're looking for a place of Zen-like peace... move on. Overnight in your Nice hotel.
