Itinerary
Arrival at Charles DeGaulle - You will be picked up by Janice and escorted to your accommodations. Your metro tickets will be given to you as soon as you arrive, so you may experience the independence of traveling alone….but with a group. (We will discuss luggage later)
When we arrive at our accommodations, Elle will be waiting with a beautiful bottle of champagne and hors d'oeuvres. The fridge will be stocked for days to come.
Fresh croissants will be provided the next morning.
Day 1 - We will begin our day visiting the beautiful Chateau which many Kings have called their family home from the Middle Ages to the 19th century. Napoleon was the last official French Monarch to live here. But wait, your day isn’t finished. You will then enjoy a spa treatment at the
Hotel Napoleon is where you can rejuvenate your body and your mind with a sauna, steam room, and a beautiful 15-meter heated swimming pool. We may be able to have a glass of champagne……strawberries covered in chocolate. Now we are going too far!
Day 2 - Rise and Shine because we are going to go to the gardens of Giverny where Monet’s gardens and his home will transport you back into time. It will be a lovely day trip.
Day 3 - Sleep in, and at your own pace we will explore the small town of Fontainebleau, and when you just don’t think you can go anymore you can have high tea at Janice’s at 4:00 pm. This is a light day because you will pack this night and get ready to travel to Sens where we will enjoy lunch at a fabulous restaurant; then end our day by taking the train into Paris.
Day 4 - We go to Sens then on into Paris. Dinner together.
Day 5 - Hop on and hop off the bus with a river cruise down the River Seine. The advantage of taking part in the hop on hop off bus is you get to see all the beautiful major sights of Paris and take as many photos as possible. The day will end around 5:30 just in time to go back to your accommodations and rest for a while before being treated to dinner at 7:30 or 8:00.
DAY 6 - Markets and vintage clothing in Montmartre. This is a day to still wear your cute clothes, but you better have your best comfy shoes on. There is a tremendous amount of walking, but if you have bad knees like I do, we will do a stroll and of course, take the Funicular.
Day 7 - This is the last day of your trip. I would like to keep this open for you to explore Paris with a partner or on your own, but if not we can split up some can go with Elle and I will take another group. It might be a nice day to visit a museum or two.
Day 8 - Early to rise to have pictures and breakfast together. You will be escorted to the train station and put on your last train because it will be going to the airport. There are Ubers and of course taxis that you might want to share with your new friends. It is up to you.
