PARIS

$3800 per person

Paris! It’s Paris! It is exciting! It is decadent! It is sexy. It is mysterious. It is pure magic. And we are going to do “all the things” together.

My love for Paris started 30 years ago when I studied abroad in London and made a trip across the pond. It stuck with me until I was in my early 40s and returned for a summer in Paris, which was ultimately the catalyst to our WorldTowning lifestyle. I love Paris!

Years later we lived in the South of France in a stationary capacity for 10 months and then we popped in and out of France while living in our RV in Europe for 3 years. France is our European home and Paris is a city we cannot wait to share with all of you.

During your time with us in Paris we will take to the streets every day and fill our cups up! We will eat our weight in cheese, take afternoon breaks over hot chocolate and pain au chocolate, start our evenings with an aperitif and try our hand at a pastry challenge. How cool is that? And that is just the food. You will leave us being able to captivate your friends back home with cultured stories of how your fancy champagne is made and what “really” happens at the Moulin Rouge and in a Speakeasy. Plus, you will be able to sprinkle in some tales of your visit to the largest antique market in Europe, your sunset dinner cruise down the Seine and how sipping champagne underneath the sparkle of the Eiffel Tower is “that” amazing. Are you excited? This is only a sampling of all the glamour we will experience in Paris.

If you want to explore a mysterious land, make new friends, and push yourself out of your comfort zone and into what we would consider an “food, art, architecture” zone, this is the trip for you. If you care about connecting deeply with a new culture in a way you cannot do on a traditional vacation, this is for you. If you approach the world with a glass half-full attitude, this is for you.

Does it sound inticing? The experience is all that, and more.

Welcome to a very french boutique hotel in Paris, not most peoples idea of a typical Parisian hotel.

A hotel with an atmosphere, tastefully appointed with some extravagance and far away from the anonymous and coldness of design hotels. A ‘home hotel’ more than a ‘boutique hotel’, a hotel away from fashion in the trendy Marais. A hotel with a friendly efficient service. For people who don’t want everything to be the same, for those of you who wish to travel back in history and experience the lifestyle and magnificence of 18th century Paris, then you are in for a treat.

The hotel is near the Place des Vosges, the crown jewel of the area and one of the oldest squares in Paris. The Marais is well known for a rich heritage of mansions of the 17th and 18th centuries transformed into famous museums: Musée Picasso, Musée Carnavalet, Musée Cognacq Jay.
