Get into the carnival spirit in Paris

Never mind Rio, join the age old Paris Carnival (or ‘Fat Cow Parade’) on 16 February and march through the streets accompanied by trumpeters and musicians, dropping in on the many attractions the capital has to offer with the Paris Sightseeing Pass.

Follow the crowds to the Town Hall and be sure to stop off at the Basilique Cathedrale de Saint-Denis, the Fragonard Perfume Museum and the magnificent Pantheon, all of which are included in the Paris Sightseeing Pass.

The Paris Sightseeing Pass gives access to over 60 top attractions including the iconic Arc de Triomphe, the awe-inspiring Notre-Dame Cathedral and entry to the world-famous Musée du Louvre.
