Day-by-Day Itinerary

1. 1

   Day 1: Nairobi to Paris

   Arrive in Paris on your scheduled flight from Nairobi and meet your arranged transfer for the journey into the city. After hotel check-in, keep the first afternoon easy: take a short orientation walk near your hotel, find a neighbourhood café, and settle into the rhythm of the French capital. This evening is free for an early dinner or rest after the flight. Your centrally located Paris hotel is your base for the next four nights.

   Day 2: Louvre Museum and central Paris

   Begin your Paris Discovery package with timed entry to the Louvre Museum. Take time to see its landmark galleries at your own pace, including the Mona Lisa and major works from across the museum’s collections. Afterward, step into the nearby Palais Royal area and continue on foot towards the Seine. The late afternoon is free for a relaxed café stop, shopping, or an optional walk through Le Marais before returning to your Paris hotel.

   Day 3: Eiffel Tower views and Seine dinner cruise

   Today brings together Paris’s best-known views. Start around the Trocadéro Gardens, where the Eiffel Tower rises across the Seine, then continue through the surrounding streets at a comfortable pace. Later, board your Seine River dinner cruise for an evening perspective on the city’s bridges, riverbanks, and illuminated landmarks. Dinner is served during the cruise, making this a relaxed and memorable Paris night before your return to the hotel.

   Day 4: Versailles and Montmartre sunset

   Travel out of central Paris for a full-day visit to the Palace of Versailles and its gardens. Your included full-access visit gives you time to explore the palace interiors and walk through the formal grounds at a pace that suits you. Return to Paris in the afternoon and head to Montmartre for its village-like lanes and the wide city outlook from Sacré-Cœur. Enjoy free time for dinner before returning to your hotel.

   Day 5: Paris departure to Nairobi

   Enjoy a final Paris morning before your airport transfer. Depending on your departure time, you may choose a last coffee in your neighbourhood, pick up pastries or souvenirs, or take a short walk along the Seine. Your arranged transfer takes you to the airport for your return journey to Nairobi. Paris Discovery ends with the key first-time experiences covered and time left for you to make the city your own.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in the Paris Discovery package price?

The Paris Discovery package is priced from KES 279,000 per adult sharing, based on the lowest 2026 season and Kenyan citizen rate. The package price is built around return economy travel from Nairobi, four nights in a centrally located Paris hotel, airport transfers, and the featured sightseeing programme. Final pricing depends on travel dates, airline availability, room type, and group size.

Which Paris experiences are included?

The Paris Discovery package includes planned highlights at the Louvre Museum, a Seine River dinner cruise, an Eiffel Tower and Trocadéro visit, and a full-day Versailles outing. Meals not specifically arranged as part of an experience, personal purchases, travel insurance, passport costs, visa charges, and optional activities are not included unless confirmed in your final Proven Adventures quotation.

What ages qualify for the child rate?

Child rates apply to travellers aged 2 to 11 years who share accommodation with adults. The child price varies by season, starting from KES 251,000 for Kenyan citizens in the low season. Airline and hotel child policies can differ, so Proven Adventures confirms the applicable fare, bedding arrangement, and final child rate before booking.

When is the best time to visit Paris?

Paris Discovery departures can be planned throughout 2026, with the lowest published package rates in January to March. April to June and September to December are higher-priced periods, while July and August carry the peak-season rate. Proven Adventures can compare available dates and flights before you commit, as economy airfares can change quickly.

Do Kenyan travellers need a visa for France?

Kenyan passport holders require a Schengen visa for France. Current research places the visa fee at KES 15,300, but applicants should verify the amount and requirements with the official visa application process before paying. Apply at least three weeks before travel, and allow extra time for appointments, document preparation, and any requested follow-up.

Is there a single supplement for solo travellers?

The advertised Paris Discovery rate is based on two adults sharing a room. A solo traveller can book the same itinerary, but a single-room supplement will apply because hotel rooms and some travel components are not shared. Proven Adventures will provide the supplement as a separate, date-specific amount before confirmation, rather than estimating it in advance.
