Can You Visit Paris in a Day from London?

Yes. Thanks to the high-speed Eurostar, Paris can be visited as a day trip from London.

The journey takes around 2 hours and 15 minutes, with departure from London St Pancras International in central London and arrival at Gare du Nord in central Paris. This gives you over 10 hours in Paris to enjoy many of the city’s most famous landmarks before returning to London.

Our Paris day trips are carefully planned around the Eurostar timetable. Depending on the tour you choose, you can visit the Eiffel Tower, Notre-Dame Cathedral and the Louvre Museum, or explore Paris independently with a Seine River cruise, or see the city using a Hop-on Hop-off bus tour.

Guided or Self-Guided Paris Day Trip?

These are examples of guided and self-guided day trips to Paris from London.

A Lunch on The Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame & Louvre Tour is ideal if you would like the sightseeing and travel arrangements organised for you. You will meet our representative at London St Pancras Station before traveling to Paris on the Eurostar. You will be met in Paris by your guide, who will be with you throughout the day.

A self-guided Paris with Eurostar Tickets & River Seine Cruise enables you to choose where you want to go. You will meet our representative at London St Pancras Station before traveling to Paris on the Eurostar. On arrival, you are free to explore the city at your leisure. The tour includes a cruise on the River Seine.

A guided tour is usually the best option for first-time visitors who want to see as much as possible in one day. A self-guided trip is better suited to travelers who already know Paris or want to explore on their own. 

What Is Included in Our Paris Day Trips?

Every Paris day trip includes return standard class Eurostar travel from London. There is the option to upgrade to Eurostar Plus.

Depending on the tour you choose, your trip may also include:

✅ A guided sightseeing tour of Paris
✅ Eiffel Tower entrance

By booking one of our fully guided Paris day trips, everything is organised from the moment you arrive. Your guide is waiting, your transportation is ready and the included attractions are pre-booked. This allows you to travel directly between the main sights, enabling you to see far more in one day than would normally be possible when exploring independently. With travel, sightseeing and guiding included, the tour offers excellent value for money. 

A self-guided Paris day trip gives you the freedom to also visit places that are not included on the guided tours and spend as long as you wish at each one. It is especially suitable if you have particular interests, such as art museums, gardens or Emily in Paris filming locations. You can go at your own pace, perhaps stroll through the streets, and linger in a traditional Parisian café.
