Venice to Paris by Venice Simplon-Orient-Express

Days 1-3  Venice  
Venice is an incredible city, built on over 100 islands with 409 bridges and 150 canals. Walk the Grand Canal and marvel at the splendour of the monumental buildings from Byzantine, Gothic and Renaissance periods. No visit to Venice would be complete without a cruise through its enchanting canals. On day 2, join a small group tour to explore the many waterways in a luxurious motorboat. Spend your final full day soaking in the bridges, piazzas, and basilicas of the city.  

Days 4-5  Venice to Paris  
Board the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express at Venice Santa Lucia for a lavish three course lunch in one of the hand-restored 1920s restaurant cars. Then spend the afternoon relaxing in the comfort of your cabin, gazing at the beautiful scenery as the continent passes before you. A selection of pastries will be served to your quarters, before a leisurely four course dinner; prepared on board by famed French chefs. Later, enjoy cocktails and free flowing champagne in the Bar Car, listening to the resident pianist play your requests on the baby grand. Awake to a whole new landscape outside your window.  A breakfast of fresh coffee, fruits, warm breads and pastries is served to your cabin at a time that suits you. Then prepare to disembark as the train pulls into Paris in the morning. Spend an afternoon and night in the French capital exploring at your leisure.  

Day 6  Paris  
After a restful night, it’s time to travel onwards wherever that may take you.
