Paris extension

by Best Events

We are pleased to offer you a four night extension to get a taste of Paris and her many delights. Most flights from the US are over-night and arrive in the morning; that first day is a doozy. We invite you to start with a gentle boat cruise to feel the spirit of Paris floating along her main artery. Each day there are activities of varying length and vigor to tempt you. But our best recommendation is to wander, get lost, find yourself and discover the real life of Paris. The extension ends on the morning of June 15 the we will board a high speed train to Avignon and the drive to the Chateau Fonscolombe. All purchases come with a custom Paris mini-guide with our favorite recommendations for restaurants, museums and other delicious things to do and of course shopping.
