Catching Up with Me

Just had a fabulous spring trip to Paris and a few other choice places in beautiful France, that I will tell you all about! Been spending a lot of time playing music and making art, with my most recent art show up right now at Crazy Moon. I'll be giving you some tips for driving in France and renting a car, my thoughts about renting an apartment in Paris, using the TGV and a few thoughts on food! I have two trips sscheduled for next spring: Your First Trip to Paris March 11-18, 2013 -- This tour features my standard offerings, staying in a lovely Latin quarter hotel for six days and seven nights with breakfast included, refrigerators in your room, and nearby restaurants, markets and metro stop. You'll arrive to and from the airport via shuttle, have a museum pass that offers instant admittance without waiting in lines, metro tickets, your own personalized tourbook and map, and every day we'll visit at least two marvelous museums or monuments, walking and using the metro. We'll visit the Louvre at see the Mona Lisa, Nike and Venus, we'll go to the d'Orsay, Musee Rodin, stroll the Champs-Elysees, visit Montmartre and the giant flea market. Plus there is always little extras that Paris has to offer. Fees are double occupancy/land only. Items that you're responsible for are generally your lunch and dinners, tips, drinks, treats and souvenirs. There is a wonderful outdoor market nearby a few times a week, a bakery across the streets that serves lunches, nice rstaurants, and a larger grocery and department store within walking distance as well. Carnac Alignments and Mont St. Michel Artists and Photographers Tour March 18 - 25, 2013 -- This is quite a different offering as we will be traveling by train and car after your arrival in Paris and will only be available to a handful of artists. We will stay in Carnac, visit the museum of pre-history, walk and photograph or paint among the Carnac megaliths, the beautiful beach, and visit other neolithic sites. During this time of the year, it is possible to walk among the stones instead of appreciating them nearby. We will also visit Mont St. Michel, and stay in the area a couple of nights as well. Please remember that my trips are generally in the off-tourist season for several reasons, mainly the first, it's less expensive, and secondly, there are less tourists. This means we're not crowded or rushed, and can enjoy to French ambiance, as well as the food and the vistas. I am also available to create a tour for you and your group to Paris or to one of the other wonderful regions of France. Please drop me a line at labellefrancetours @ yahoo.com
