Filled with classic art, stunning sites and a whole lot of Chanel...

Prince William and Duchess Catherine's very first royal tour of Paris was magnifique!

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge touched down in Paris over the weekend for a whirlwind two-days in the City of Lights.

In a moving moment, the parents met with victims and first responders from two tragic French terrorist attacks — the November 2015 attacks in Paris that left 130 people dead and the 2016 attack in Nice on Bastille Day, which left 86 people dead.

In 48 hours, the royals fitted in some of the city's best sites including the Musée d'Orsay art gallery and famed military museum, Les Invalides.

While the couple, both 34, delighted locals, it was Catherine who dazzled throughout the trip.

Tapping into her inner Parisian goddess, the mum-of-two wowed in all her ensembles, especially her perfectly timed Chanel tweed suit which was worn in front of the Eiffel tower.
