Curator’s statement
What does a five-day NFL Paris itinerary actually include? Everything! We’re talking game day at Steelers vs. Saints (October 25, 2026), but also Montmartre sunsets, wine tastings in Saint-Germain, and those perfect croissant mornings. The magic is in balancing the roar of the crowd with the quiet elegance of Parisian streets. This trip is for the traveler who wants it all—the sports, the culture, the cuisine, the stories you’ll tell for years. Ready to experience an international NFL game the luxury way?

Where to stay
Unlock perks by contacting Folashade Otuyelu to book your trip.
Day 1 (Thursday): Arrive & settle in
Crusing the Seine
Arrive, check in, and keep the day light to work through jet lag. A gentle walk along the Seine or through the Marais is enough for day one—save the big sightseeing for tomorrow. Dinner at a classic bistro nearby is the easiest way to ease into the trip.
Day 2 (Friday): Paris icons
Louvre
Meet your private guide for skip-the-line visits to the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre. Your guide will tailor your Louvre visit to two or three highlights, making the most of your time without the crowds. Spend the evening on a Seine dinner cruise or enjoy dinner in Le Marais before game weekend begins.
Day 3 (Saturday): Montmartre & pre-game energy
People-watching at a local café in Paris
Spend the morning in Montmartre—Sacré-Cœur, the winding streets around Place du Tertre, and a slower pace than the Day 2 icons. In the afternoon, head back toward the city center, where NFL fan energy will already be building. Many bars in the city host watch-party and pre-game atmospheres the night before an international game—worth asking your hotel concierge what’s planned nearby.
Day 4 (Sunday): Game day
Game day
Kickoff is 2:30 p.m. CET, so build the day around it. A relaxed late-morning coffee and a light lunch near the stadium give you time to soak in the tailgate atmosphere before heading in—international NFL games are known for turning pre-games into their own event, with fans from both teams and plenty of French curiosity mixed in. After the game, a late dinner back in the city is the right way to close out game day.
Day 5 (Monday): Versailles by private driver
Palace of Versailles
Use the extra day to do Versailles properly rather than rushing it in a half-day. A private driver takes you door-to-door from your hotel, cutting out the RER crowds and letting you set your own pace through the palace, the Hall of Mirrors, and the gardens. Head back to Paris by mid-afternoon for one last relaxed evening before departure the next morning.
Need to know
Tailgating
Game day starts long before kickoff. Join fellow fans at the pre-game festivities near the stadium, where you’ll find a lively atmosphere with food, drinks, and entertainment. Hospitality packages can also be added for an elevated game-day experience.
Transportation
The Stade de France sits just north of central Paris in Saint-Denis and is easily reached by RER B or D—plan for a 20- to 30-minute ride from most central hotels.
Getting around Paris’ Métro and RER network make the whole trip walkable and transit-friendly; a car isn’t necessary and can be more hassle than it’s worth in central Paris traffic.
