France - Paris
Unforgettable and unregrettable, Paris quite simply oozes style and romance and when we visit, we hope that its “je ne sais quoi” is going to rub off on us!
Amid the bustle of the city, Parisiens still find time to savour coffee and croissants at a streetside café, stroll through the Tuileries gardens, saunter along the Champs Elysees and sip wine beside the Seine.
Like them you can appreciate gasp-worthy views from the Eiffel Tower and glide on a bateau to the Louvre to visit the Mona Lisa. You could lose yourself for days in the galleries and museums, or let a budding artist paint your portrait at fashionable Montmartre – what a souvenir!
For some authentic French “c’est la vie” stay in your own city apartment. With luck you may find discount Paris fashion in Boulevard Sebastopol, a performance at L’Opera or Moulin Rouge and discover the city’s delightful neighbourhood bistros for real bon appetit.
