Day 1 - Arrival, LEISURE TIME & Dinner with Hosts
Upon arrival at Paris airport, our private driver will take you to your accommodation (about a 1-hour drive). After settling in, a team member will meet you at your hotel to provide you with information about your stay and address any questions you may have.
In the afternoon, explore Paris at your own pace, guided by personalized suggestions.
Your first Parisian dinner will be hosted in a private home where your host will prepare a famous French dish, such as pot-au-feu, and curate a selection of wine and cheese. This experience offers you the opportunity to immerse yourself in Parisian culture and the French way of life.
Day 2 - Louvre, Sainte-Chapelle, Quartier Latin & DINNER CRUISE
After breakfast, meet your private guide at the Louvre. Explore its key treasures, including the Mona Lisa, Venus de Milo, and Napoleon III apartments.
In the afternoon, visit Sainte-Chapelle to admire its 13th-century stained glass. Then, rendezvous with your guide at Parvis Notre-Dame, for a brief introduction to Notre-Dame (closed till late 2024). Explore the historic Latin Quarter, with notable sites like Sorbonne University, Panthéon, and Rue Mouffetard.
End your first full day with a Seine River dinner cruise.
Day 3 - Versailles & Eiffel Tower
A driver will take you from your hotel to Versailles, where you will spend half a day visiting the beautiful Palace and its equally famous gardens.
You will return to Paris in the early afternoon for a late lunch. Afterward, you can spend the rest of the day at your own convenience. We can also arrange something special, such as a photo shoot next to the Eiffel Tower.
Day 4 - Montmartre, Pastry Tasting & LEISURE TIME
After breakfast, meet your private guide in Montmartre, known for its charming streets and the Sacré-Cœur Basilica. While exploring, enjoy some Parisian pastries.
Day 5 - BoRDEAUX TOWN & PASTRY MASTER CLASS
After enjoying an early breakfast, your private driver will escort you to the train station for a comfortable 2-hour and 30-minute journey to Bordeaux in first class.
Upon your arrival in Bordeaux, you’ll immerse yourself in history with an exclusive private tour of Bordeaux and its Cité du Vin, the city’s renowned wine museum. Your private guide will also treat you to a tasting of canelés, Bordeaux’s iconic pastries.
After lunch, which is at your convenience but guided by our recommendation, you will be escorted to your hotel in the Bordeaux vineyards. You will then learn how to cook French pastries with the pastry chef from the hotel.
Day 6 - Saint-ÉMILION TOWN & GRAND CRU CLASSÉ WINE ESTATE TOUR & TASTING
Begin your day in the picturesque town of Saint-Émilion, where ancient cobblestone streets wind through the historic architecture of this UNESCO World Heritage-listed village.

Day 7 - LEISURE TIME & DEPARTURE
After breakfast, you’ll have free time to enjoy the accommodation facilities at your convenience. Our driver will then transfer you to the train station, and upon arrival in Paris, another private driver will take you to the airport for your outbound flight.
