ARRIVE: Taxi, or shuttle transport to and from the Charles de Gaulle, Paris airport for arrivals on the first day of the trip (Hotel check-in is at three. Baggage drop off is available at the hotel and have a THOROUGH lesson on how to use the Metro this first day. More details are in the itinerary, which will be provided with your trip confirmation.
STAY: Four-star hotel accommodations for one (Double occupancy. Come with a friend or know that you will be assigned a room partner). Our hotel is a four-star hotel, very “Old World” and “Parisienne Farmgirl.” Need to rest your feet? There’s a beautiful courtyard with a wine bar where you and your friends can recount the day’s adventures. Breakfast is served daily; each room has its own bathroom and a fridge. There is also an elevator (for those bags full of flea market loot) and air conditioning (both very rare).
TREATS: Welcome gift from Angela at the hotel for you. Stroll down to the river to enjoy!
GETTING AROUND: Metro passes and complete in-person lesson with Angela later in the day on Thursday. We’ll get your metro passes and take a few rides to show you EXACTLY how to use the Paris Metro like a pro as we’ve allowed for you to have free time to explore this wonderful city.
FLEA MARKETS GALORE! Enjoy three different flea market tours with Angela (Lunch included during Sunday’s market) Angela will offer assistance with translation, opinions on prices, etiquette, negotiations, etc. It is recommended that you bring an empty suitcase with packing material to transport small items home. Most airlines allow 50-70 pounds per checked bag, so check with your airline and shop til you drop! I’ll be bringing a scale for you to use. Shipping items home is possible but will be your own responsibility. Angela can help you locate a French post office near the hotel, and the French post office can ship your larger items home, but coordinating this will be a personal responsibility. Please note shipping costs or additional luggage costs are not included in the price of the tour.
TOURIST ATTRACTION: First-floor Eiffel Tower ticket and glass of champagne on the viewing deck with Angela.
MEMORIES: Eiffel Tower photo opp with Angela – Social media hot spot location! You’ll see many ‘influencers’ taking those once-in-a-lifetime photos, and Angela will take yours for you.
EAT WELL: One bistro dinner with Angela and the group (2 glasses of wine, entré, dinner, dessert included in the price of your trip)
TOAST THE CITY OF LIGHT FROM THE WATER: One evening riverboat four course dinner cruise with Angela and the group.
PREP: Pre-trip zoom calls, meet the group, ask questions (Currency, maps, cultural differences, and more will be covered!)
PLAN: Up to a one-hour “travel agent” call with Angela to help you plan your free time in Paris. I want you to feel SUPER confident in the city and can help you with museum passes, exhibit ideas, and more. I realize some will want to come earlier or stay longer. I’m happy to assist with this as well.

It is recommended that you can handle 12 flights of stairs and up to three miles walking a day

Due to ‘acts of God’ and unforeseen circumstances in the world, transferable and refundable airfare is highly recommended, as is travel insurance as a best practice. If any unforeseen circumstances (Lockdowns, geo-political situations, etc.) would cause the trip to be postponed, you will not lose any money. Your spot will be held until the next trip can be scheduled. As these trips have been planned well in advance, things like museum pass discounts may be subject to change. Strikes within Paris may happen (affecting things like Metro usage and boat tours). Any changes to be made will be made at Angela’s discretion and will be greater or equal to the current plans listed here. We don’t plan to make changes, but we appreciate your understanding of circumstances that would be out of our control.
