Flashback Friday...Dreaming of Paris
I am knee deep in planning trips for clients - the Caribbean for spring break, a mother daughter Paris trip, a fabulous British garden tour and countless Italy trips...it is amazing how planning trips for other people makes me want to pack my suitcase and just GO! The next best thing is reminiscing about past travels and today I can't stop thinking of my favorite city...Paris.
Who wants to stroll down memory lane with me?

Audrey Hepburn was so right...Paris is always a good idea!

When
we were planning our trip to Greece, it just so happened that we were
able to score a great deal for flights on Air France...the only "hitch"
was that we had to stop over in Paris. In the category of "as long as we
are there", we decided, why not spend a few days in Paris?
My
sister-in-law had not been to Paris since she was in high school, so I
played the role of tour guide. I showed her all of my favorite places
and I also discovered a few new favorites (including the Paris flea
market which I am posting about on Wednesday).
Since
there is no shortage of blogs dedicated specifically to Paris (I
read many of them myself), rather than telling you every little detail
of our trip, I am simply going to share a few of my favorite photos. I hope you enjoy them...

| Even in October the Jardin du Luxembourg is filled with gorgeous flowers. |

| Musee Rodin |

We
covered A LOT of ground in four days and we had the aching feet to show
for it! But, it was well worth the pain. I am already trying to figure
out when I can go back again.
Anyone want a personal tour guide?

If
you would like me to help you plan a trip to Paris (or anywhere else!),
just e-mail me. I can get great deals on hotels ranging from the
charming left bank hotel we stayed at on this trip, to one of the five
star "palace" hotels, with many added amenities such as upgrades and
room credits. I can also book your tours, transfers or day trips.
Bonne week-end, mes amis! xoxo
