Bon Jour-  Welcome to Paris!

Most flights arrive from the USA in the morning to mid-day.  

Transfer from the airport to our hotel can be by Metro, taxi or we can set up transfers for those that prefer. Upon your arrival at the hotel, catch your breathe before you meet up with the rest of the group.

Meet the Crew

As soon as we know all arrival times, we will set a time to meet at, or near, the hotel for a beverage and to get to know the rest of the group.

Start At The Top!

What better way to begin our visit? Head straight to one of the most iconic man-made structures in the world - the Eiffel Tower!

After sunset, 20,000 glittering lights make the tower sparkle on the hour, making the city’s monikers of City of Light and City of Love all the more meaningful. Arriving at this time has the added advantage of being less crowded. A visit to the top floor’s champagne bar only adds to the experience. Bucket List...check!
