The Paris Summer Games will be held throughout the majestic city of light. For the first time in history, the Opening Ceremony will take place literally on the Seine River, and Olympic Games will be held within the city center and among Paris' historic landmarks.
The Paris Olympic Village is truly a once in a lifetime experience, and MVT travel advisors know which central luxury hotels still have availability to put you as close as possible to the heart of the Olympic Village.
While many 5-star hotel properties are going to be booked out for the worlds' athletes, a surprising yet wonderful alternative is river cruising!
