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 Du Luxembourg. This spectacular park is a popular place to see in the city.

On your last day in France, take time to indulge in shopping at Paris’s popular marketplace, Le Marais. Look for keepsakes or souvenirs to remind you of your trip. Browse boutiques to find unique and stylish fashion pieces.

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

Treat yourself to a delicious dinner at Granite, an excellent option for tonight's dining. Looking for something different? Restaurant Guy Savoy offers a tantalizing alternative with its diverse menu. And don’t miss Saint James Paris.

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!
