Ideas for a Girls Trip to France

Curious about planning an itinerary for a Girls Trip to France? You're in the right place!

I went on a girls trip with my teenage daughter and a few of my closest friends, who are also my neighbors, and it was truly an amazing experience!

Here's what we did:

Day 1: We traveled to Reims, France from Switzerland by train (our journey began in Switzerland, and I'll write a separate post about that). We stayed at Chateau de Courcelles, and it was truly a dream come true! I wholeheartedly recommend it! We enjoyed a champagne tasting paired with food, and it was delightful. Everything from the service to the food, the room, and the location was simply amazing.

Day 2: We spent the entire morning enjoying our previous hotel before arranging for a private driver to take us to Paris. After checking in, we went for a walk to make the most of the beautiful day in Paris and later had a wonderful dinner at Le Train Bleu.

Day 3: We took a tour of the Catacombs, which we had booked in advance. It's important to reserve ahead of time and arrive on schedule, as late arrivals may not be admitted.

In the afternoon, we strolled around Notre Dame and visited the Shakespeare & Co. bookstore, located nearby.

On Day 4, we embarked on a walking food tour, which involved a lot of walking but was definitely worth it! We discovered this tour through Viator, and it was fantastic. Although we initially struggled to locate the first stop, we fortunately arrived early to ensure we didn't miss the tour. https://viator.tpk.mx/5unFDpYp

Day 5: We checked out of Paris and rented a car to explore beyond the city. We visited Giverny, which is Monet's house, and it was stunning! If you plan to go inside the house, be sure to arrive early as the lines can be long. We arrived quite early and enjoyed it without too much chaos.

From there, we continued our road trip to the Normandy coast and ended up staying in Etretat. What a paradise! It's a fantastic location for various activities. You can relax, swim, enjoy good food, shop, or even hike the mountain for breathtaking views. We did a bit of everything. We stayed at the charming Hotel Le Rayon Vertretat, which offers views of the ocean or the mountains, and we booked it through: https://booking.tpk.mx/EZ62PlI9

Day 6: We spent the entire morning hiking, and after checking out, we returned to Paris for the final part of our trip. We stayed at the Pullman Paris Tour Eiffel, which offers a fantastic view of the Eiffel Tower. Being so close to the tower, we decided to visit it that evening!

Day 7: The next morning, we explored Paris on foot and enjoyed a luxurious lunch at Le Jules Verne, the Michelin-starred restaurant in the Eiffel Tower. The lunch was incredible, and we had no regrets about the cost—it was completely worth it! We then headed to the Louvre and spent the whole afternoon appreciating the museum. If you visit the Louvre, make sure to have a plan as it can be overwhelming! Afterward, we stopped by Angelina's, located right across from the museum.

Day 8: Unfortunately, this was our last day in Paris before heading back home to the USA.

I hope this post gives you an idea of the million possibilities for a girls trip in France! Au revoir!
