Happy Thursday Hidden Gem Travel community! Have you been watching the Olympics and enjoying seeing Paris decked out for the occasion? I know I have and am so glad that I spent a week there in 2023.
A trip to Paris (and around France) is such a special travel experience! I’ll be heading back next spring to cover even more ground than I have before. If you have Paris or anywhere else in France on your mind, let’s talk about a custom trip or even a river or barge cruise for your family – or perhaps with a group of friends. There are many ways to experience the wonders of France and working with professional travel advisor will help you have the best experience possible.
Interest piqued? Read on for some Paris ‘la inspiration’ and some photos I took while there last…
Perfect Paris
Inside the link below is curated content about Paris including videos taking you to a gorgeous food market, the Champs-Elysée, and a Paris in motion video that will make you feel like you’re there!
Love Podcasts? There’s a link to listen to the ‘Resurrecting Notre-Dame de Paris’ by National Geographic. When I was in Paris last year, you could see the reconstruction but it wasn’t open to go inside.

France Itineraries
Do you recognize the the man sitting outside the cafe in the photo above?? A celebrity sighting is always fun 🙂
I work with a fantastic French partner to curate land-based itineraries across the country for clients. And if you read my recent newsletters, you know that you can take a river cruise or barge trip through France’s scenic waterways.
However and wherever you want to travel in France, I can not only make it happen but uplevel your experience. Vive la France!!

Wishing you amazing travel adventures,

💎 Hidden Gem Tip: Traveling Off Season
There are many benefits to traveling off season in a popular destination. It was March when I went to Paris last, and while there was a bit of rain, the crowds weren’t unbearable like you will experience in peak travel season.
If you can travel off season, I highly recommend it. With the crowds of peak season, you can experience high prices, long lines, airline issues, service blips, and so much more requiring you to pack your patience. Off season, you’re also far more likely to get a room upgrade at your 4-5 star hotel thanks to your Hidden Gem Travel perks!
