Meet Me in Paris

SAMPLE ITINERARY (please note that itineraries may be subject to change)Day 1Welcome to Paris! At the airport arrivals hall, you’ll be greeted by your personal driver holding a sign with your name on it. We’ll meet up for a welcome reception and a chance for you to unwind after your long journey. Afterwards we’ll stroll around the neighborhood for an introduction to la Rive Gauche (Paris’ Left Bank), Île de la Cité where Paris was born, and the medieval streets of the Latin Quarter. Dinner in a lovely neighborhood restaurant.Day 2A moveable feast...includes a visit to one of Paris’ most charming pedestrian streets, a guided walking food tour and wine tasting. The day concludes with Champagne & macarons and a view of the Eiffel Tower at night.Day 3Today we make our way to la Rive Droite (Paris’ Right Bank) for 18th & 19th century Parisian high elegance, including a visit to one of Paris’ lesser known museums, a stop at an open-air market, and a leisurely afternoon stroll through one of the most exclusive avenues of the capital. We continue with a walk through the Champs de Mars for an up-close view of the iconic Eiffel Tower. For the evening, we meet up for cocktails & jazz.Day 4The morning is free and yours to spend however you wish. We’ll meet up in the afternoon and make our way to one of my favorite squares in the city and practice the art of “flaner”, a Parisian pastime which means to stroll or wander for pleasure. After a stop for a scenic view (with photo ops of course), we’ll have a “pause gourmande” (coffee and pastries) at a lovely Paris café. Later is a short Métro ride to the Afro-Caribbean quarter and to the village of Montmartre where artists like Picasso, Van Gogh, Renoir, and Toulouse Lautrec used to live and work.Day 5This day is your time to enjoy Paris on your own, whether it is a visit to a famous museum, pampering yourself at a hammam or the luxurious Dior Spa, taking a cooking class, or people watching at a local café. The choices are endless. Meet Me in Paris can also help you plan a day trip to Versailles or Giverny for those who wish to visit these destinations. Or... come with me on a train ride for Champagne tasting in the world famous Champagne region! (minimum 2 participants). In the evening we enjoy an au revoir (farewell) dinner together, sharing travel stories and toasting new friends. À votre santé !
