Paranomic Europe

This morning, meet the coach and head to Dover or Folkestone for the crossing to Calais or Dunkerque. Keep passports ready for UK and French immigration and security checks. The ferry crossing takes about 90 minutes (around 40 minutes via the Eurotunnel train). After lunch, continue driving toward Brussels, Belgium’s capital.

On arrival in Brussels, pause for a photo at the Atomium, the striking 102m stainless‑steel landmark built for the 1958 Brussels World’s Fair, whose nine spheres depict an iron crystal magnified 165 billion times.

After this photo stop, proceed to the hotel and restaurant in France’s north‑eastern Grand Est region (Metz, Nancy, or Strasbourg). Depending on the hotel’s location, either dine at a restaurant for an Indian dinner or head to the hotel, where dinner will be served later by our caterers in a conference room. Rest after a long travel day.

After breakfast, check out and board the coach heading southeast into Germany. As we traverse the Black Forest, enjoy tree‑lined alpine vistas and dramatic gorges.

Arrive in Titisee‑Neustadt, set amid dark firs, high hills, cliffs, and gentle valleys, by Lake Titisee—the Black Forest’s largest natural lake, stretching about 2km. Enjoy free time to wander the quaint streets, relax by the lake, or browse for locally made cuckoo clocks and souvenirs. Afterward, enjoy an Indian lunch before continuing to Switzerland.

Cross into Schaffhausen in northeastern Switzerland on the Rhine near the German border. Take time to admire the Rhine Falls, Europe’s largest open‑plain waterfalls. Choose a brief trip to the central rock or enjoy views from the riverbank with Wörth Castle as a backdrop.

Rejoin the coach and continue to Central Switzerland and Lucerne. In Lucerne, admire Lake Lucerne—the country’s fourth‑largest—backed by Mt. Pilatus, Mt. Rigi, and the Alps, or stroll the Old Town’s pretty cobbled streets. Don’t miss the Chapel Bridge (Kapellbrücke), the famed 204m covered wooden bridge first built in 1333 and regarded as Europe’s oldest covered bridge.

Then visit the Lion Monument, designed by Bertel Thorvaldsen, commemorating the Swiss Guards massacred in 1792 during the French Revolution—often called “the most mournful and moving piece of stone in the world.”

After another full day, board the coach for an Indian dinner and hotel check‑in.

After breakfast, ascend 10,000ft to Mt. Titlis. Depending on the season, begin with a small cable car or funicular, then board the Titlis Rotair—the world’s first revolving cable car—which completes a full rotation during the ascent for a 360‑degree view of the Uri Alps. At the summit, enjoy panoramic vistas, take photos in traditional Swiss outfits, pick up souvenirs, and walk the Titlis Cliff Walk—a suspended pedestrian bridge at 3,000m, believed to be Europe’s highest‑elevation suspension bridge (subject to operation). Spend the morning in the snow and visit the ice caves.

Optional on Mt. Titlis: the Ice Flyer (subject to operation), a chairlift gliding smoothly over pristine snowfields and crevasses up to 20m deep, with souvenir photos available.

Descend in the early afternoon for a well‑deserved Indian lunch, then continue from Engelberg to Interlaken.

In the afternoon, arrive in Interlaken, nestled between Lakes Thun and Brienz. Stroll the Höheweg between Interlaken West and Ost, shop for souvenirs, and admire Bernese Alps views. Wander through Kursaal Garden to see the 350kg statue of the late Indian filmmaker Yash Chopra.

Reboard the coach and head for Geneva.

In the evening, make short photo stops in Geneva: at the Jardin Anglais (English Gardens) for the National Monument featuring Lady Geneva and Lady Helvetica; the iconic Flower Clock (1955), with seasonally changing blooms; and the Jet d’Eau (subject to operation), a fountain lit at night that projects 0.5m³ of water per second to 140m.

Continue to the United Nations Office at Geneva (UNOG) for a second photo stop at the Palais des Nations—built 1929–1938 for the League of Nations—capturing the array of national flags.

Conclude with a buffet Indian dinner, then check in for the night.

After breakfast, check out and drive toward Paris. Arrival is late afternoon, with a lunch stop en route offering only continental options and no fast‑food outlets.

In Paris, visit the iconic Eiffel Tower with an ascent planned to Level 3*. As the world’s most visited paid monument, expect long security and ticket lines; reservations are not always possible. If Level 3* is unavailable or closed, the price difference will be refunded at tour end. In some cases, the visit may be substituted with Montparnasse Tower due to national holidays, Bastille Day parades, operational issues, or other reasons; advance notice may not be possible.

In the evening, proceed to a restaurant for a group buffet Indian dinner. After dining at the allocated time, either join an optional Paris night tour or return to the hotel by one of our vehicles.

If opting for the Paris Illumination Tour, board the coach after dinner for a 90‑minute night tour of key sights—Louvre, Arc de Triomphe, Place de la Concorde, and Les Invalides—beautifully illuminated. Watch the Eiffel Tower sparkle on the hour for five minutes, immersing in the magic of the City of Lights.

Late at night, transfer to the hotel for the overnight stay. Rest up for tomorrow.

Return to central Paris to board the famous Bateaux for a one‑hour Seine River cruise, passing highlights including the Grand Palais, Petit Palais, Pont Alexandre III, the National Assembly, Les Invalides, and the Eiffel Tower. Choose indoor or outdoor seating on the glass‑covered boat while listening to the commentary.

During the Paris touring, additional sights will also have been covered: Place Vendôme (home to the Ritz), Place de la Concorde—prominent during the French Revolution—and the Avenue des Champs‑Élysées, the city’s grand, tree‑lined boulevard.

Depart Paris and stop at an Indian restaurant for a final shared meal before continuing toward London.

Say goodbye to new friends as route drop‑offs occur. Upon reaching Calais, cross to Dover or Folkestone per the day’s schedule, then continue to Wembley for designated drop‑offs.
