Sample Itineraries

Leisurely Paris is the itinerary for those who want to experience the City of Light at a slower rhythm. Together we stroll through Le Marais, visit a French market, spend time at lesser known museums, attend a live performance, taste French wines with a sommelier, admire stunning views of the Eiffel Tower, and more! This Paris experience is all by taxi/Uber, which means no long distance walking or climbing up/down stairs to the métro. Below is a sample itinerary…

Day 1

Welcome 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 see see the city on a bus tour (approximately 2.5 hours). Dinner in a lovely local restaurant.

Note: We recommend booking your departure flight the day before (or earlier) so that your flight arrives in time to participate in Day 1’s activities.

Day 2

Today we head to Le Marais where we discover the neighborhood once filled with aristocrats. We start with a visit to one of Paris’ lesser known museums, followed by a stroll through a magnificent square in the city. After a leisurely lunch, guests are welcome to spend the afternoon browsing for unique finds in the small boutiques. For the non-shoppers of the group, I invite you to join me for an art crawl in the beautiful galleries of the Marais. For the evening… we get a little snazzy and enjoy a “night out on the town” to one of Paris’ live performance venues.

Day 3

The day begins with a taste of “Haute Couture Paris” at an exclusive fashion exhibit, followed by a stop at an open-air market. We continue with a walk towards the River Seine for a view of the iconic Eiffel Tower. Evening activities include Paris jazz and dinner at a local neighborhood restaurant.

Day 4

This day is your time to enjoy Paris on your own, whether it is a visit to a famous museum, shopping, booking a photo shoot, pampering yourself at a luxury spa, taking a cooking class, visiting bookshops, or people watching at a local café. The choices are endless. We meet together in the afternoon for a wine tasting led by a sommelier. Dinner and drinks in one of my favorite districts.

Day 5

The early part of the morning is at your leisure, or you can join me for a short walk in the Luxembourg Gardens. Then we 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. In the evening we enjoy an au revoir (farewell) dinner together, sharing travel stories and toasting new friends. À votre santé !
