Leave the glamour of Paris in mid-afternoon after a suitable brunch of croissants and coffee, and head to the southern desert regions for your rendezvous with the Pyramids. Sink into the local bazaars or just lie back by the pool watching history at Le Meridien Pyramids Get the new shuttle bus to Giza and remember to book into the famous Sound and Light Show.

Tromso to Paris - Charles de Gaulle Airport and, well, Paris
After you've caught up with the Lights, take an early morning flight out of Tromso to Paris Charles de Gaulle, via Oslo (of course). Marvel at the architecture of the original Terminal 1 before heading off to see the sights of Paris in the evening and following days. For pure indulgence, stay at the Four Seasons Georges V or with a family look around for a serviced apartment [tripadvisor.com article and links]. The official Paris Tourism site has everything you need to organise your visit, including public holiday listings & recommendations for gay-friendly venues. Remember if you eat at the Eiffel Tower restaurant you can usually avoid the elevator queues.

London to Tromso - Northern Lights
Start your journey on a leisurely afternoon flight to Tromso, Norway, one of the world’s best locations to see the Northern Lights. You’ll have a short transit in Oslo before arriving in Tromso in time to settle into your hotel before a late Scandinavian supper and hopefully a view of the Lights. It’s recommended that you stay a couple of days in case bad weather hides the skies on your first night.
If you’re traveling with family, you might appreciate the self-catering facilities at the City Living Hotel. Otherwise the sauna and solarium with a view of Tromso Bay at the Radisson Blu might be more your style.
