Day 15 of your road trip in France is your departure day. This is your chance to catch a last glimpse of Paris before saying goodbye to this wonderful destination. If you've still got time left, we recommend doing some last-minute shopping or sightseeing.

If you're up for some more sightseeing, begin at Jardin Des Plantes. This notable botanical garden is a popular place to see in the city.

Make the most of your final day in France by visiting Paris’s iconic markets and shopping establishments in the buzzing Champs-Elysées. Secure the perfect souvenirs for your family and friends back home or buy yourself a remembrance of your amazing experience in France. Elevate your style with pieces from high-end retail stores.

Before you conclude your road trip in France, drop by another restaurant for a last chance at a memorable dining experience in Paris.

If you're eager to try something different, consider Bar 8, another top spot with a tantalizing menu.

You’ll then say farewell to Paris. Drive to the airport, return your car, and take the opportunity to get some last-minute souvenirs before you board your flight home. We wish you a pleasant journey and hope you leave with many wonderful memories of your road trip in France!
