A Warm Welcome to the City of Light
Your adventure begins the moment you arrive at Charles de Gaulle Airport, where our private transfer service will ensure a smooth and comfortable journey to your accommodation. You'll be staying at the elegant Hôtel Bleu de Grenelle*, or an equivalent 4-star hotel strategically located near the Eiffel Tower.
On your first evening, we invite you to a jazzy dinner cruise on the Seine River, a quintessentially Parisian experience that sets the perfect tone for your trip. As you glide along the Seine, taking in the city's iconic landmarks illuminated against the night sky, you’ll be treated to a gourmet dinner prepared by the chefs of Maxim-de-Paris. With live piano music providing a soothing backdrop, this cruise offers a unique blend of fine dining and stunning views, ensuring a memorable start to your Parisian adventure.
Exclusive Cultural Experiences
Each morning begins with a hearty breakfast at the hotel, featuring a variety of fresh and organic options to fuel your day. Your first full day includes a fascinating walking tour that highlights the great women who have shaped French history. This tour offers a deep dive into the contributions of these remarkable women, taking you through landmarks like the Luxembourg Gardens, the Latin Quarter, and the Panthéon.
You’ll also have a private guided tour of the Musée d'Orsay where you can marvel at the works of Monet, Manet, Degas, and Van Gogh, among others, as your expert guide offers expert commentary on the history and significance of these stunning pieces, as well as the street art of Montmartre, one of Paris’ most cutting edge and artsy neighborhoods.
Paris+ Art Basel: A Celebration of Contemporary Art
On Friday, you head to the main attraction: Paris+ Art Basel, where over 150 galleries presenting an eclectic mix of works from established and emerging artists take over the stunning Grand Palais Éphémère. This prestigious art fair is a hub for art lovers, collectors, and industry professionals, providing a unique opportunity to view and purchase some of the finest artworks on the market. Explore at your own pace and we’ll re-gather for dinner and the option to enjoy an authentic Parisian cabaret in the evening.
Leisurely Exploration and Local Flavors
In addition to the structured activities, ample free time is built into the itinerary, allowing you to explore Paris at your own pace. Discover the trendy boutiques, galleries, and cafes in the Le Marais district, stroll along the Left Bank or head to Notre Dame on your own time, re-joining the group for carefully curated group meals.
