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, we recommend visiting Jardin Des Plantes, a serene botanical garden before you head out.
Maximize your last day in France and go on a shopping spree in Paris’s shopping center, the lively Champs-Elysées. Browse for souvenirs to remind you of your wonderful journey in France. You can also explore high-end shops for luxury items.
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 Solera Paris : Bar à Cocktail, an excellent option for tonight's dining. Looking for something different? Le Paris Paris offers a tantalizing alternative with its diverse menu. And don’t miss Palais Royal Restaurant.
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!
