Paris is filled with museums, monuments, and churches. But the heart and soul of Paris is its neighborhoods (“quartiers”). They give Paris its flavor: the Latin Quarter and its student life, the Marais with its blend of the medieval and the chic, the cafes and shops of St-Germain-des-Prés, and Montmarte with its artists.

When you come to Paris, you will want to relish the food and wine. Boeuf bourguignon in a cozy traditional bistro near your hotel. Steak au poivre in a classic Art Deco brasserie. Lunch in a cafe every day. Tell me about your tastes and I will select perfectly matched restaurants and make reservations.

The medieval majesty of gothic Sainte-Chapelle and Notre Dame cathedral will amaze you. Relive the French Revolution, visit the monuments of Napoleon, walk the grand boulevards of Haussmann, and retrace the haunts of the lost generation of the 1920′s and 1930′s. Your personal private guide will make it all come alive.

Few cities compare with Paris for museums and architecture. The Musée du Louvre combines both. The Musée d’Orsay houses the world’s finest collection of Impressionist art. All through Paris there are wonderful smaller museums which most tourists never see. If you are an art lover, our private guides will reveal their treasures.

Time will be set aside some time to wander through the boutiques of Saint-Germain-des-Prés and the department stores on the Grand Boulevards. Make outdoor markets part of your walking tours: the flower, cheese and flea markets. You must browse the iconic booksellers along the Seine and the shops of Rue Cler.

Be as casual or as sophisticated as you like after hours. Ride bikes with a large group through the Left Bank. Unwind with the very chic in the bars and clubs of the Marais. Relax in the cafes made famous by Sartre and de Beauvoir. Or enjoy a risqué Parisian cabaret, like the Crazy Horse, Lido or Moulin Rouge.
