Hi Christina and G,
I am incredibly excited to present you with your spectacular birthday trip to France, complete with international flights from Raleigh, private airport transfers, spectacular accommodation in the heart of the city, as well as an array of dreamy tours and experiences.
I've included 4 nights at the gorgeous Les Dames du Pantheon, which is perfectly-located in the city's Latin Quarter. This is one of the most famous and historic neighborhoods in Paris, located right on the left bank of the Seine River, and perfectly placed to explore.
To maximise your time in the city, I have included tickets to the Eiffel Tower, a beautiful small-group walking tour, as well as a VIP food tasting experience in Le Merais. I've also kept a free-day for self-exploration, but happy to send inspiration for an additional tour or two.
These Iceland Air flights are on sale for today only, and they've bought the price down by almost $2,000. Being totally transparent, I don't think we'll be able to get you to Europe within budget if we don't get these flights confirmed today. I appreciate it's a big decision and a super-important trip, but I don't want you to miss out if you love what you're seeing.
I'm in the office until 4pm Eastern, and you can reach me on +1 646 315 6225.

Welcome to Paris
Welcome to Paris
Paris lives up to its hype: A city with unbelievable food and culture, plus stunning views everywhere you turn. With 18 arrondissements, it’s a lot to see in one trip, but each neighbourhood has a personality all its own.
You can’t miss the iconic 7th, where art and history meet—there’s the Eiffel Tower, sure, but the impressive Musée du quai Branly is just a short walk away. It houses an amazing collection of indigenous art. Or, hit up Montmartre (the 18th), with its boho shops and cosy brasseries. It’s a must-stop on the way up or down from Sacre Coeur.
While the French practically invented fine dining, don’t skip the street food—Paris has world-class kebabs and falafel. But no matter where you are, be sure to pop into a sidewalk cafe, sip a glass of wine, and people watch—it’s the way to get a taste of true Parisian culture.

Located in the heart of the Latin Quarter, Hôtel Les Dames du Panthéon is set in an 18th-century building opposite the Panthéon. It offers elegant guest rooms with free Wi-Fi and a minibar.
The rooms and suites at the Hotel les Dames du Pantheon offer a voyage of discovery of some famous women and their era. The colourful design and subtle mix of refined fabrics, materials and objects evoke a moment in the life of each woman, a work of art they produced or their free-thinking spirit. From the 19th century ‘cocottes’ and the independence of George Sand to the grand passion of Édith Piaf and Juliette Gréco, the Indochina of author Marguerite Duras and the Signare women of the African coasts, each floor has a woman’s story to tell.
Your room: Classic Double
Perfect calm in the heart of Paris !
Ideal for a city break, the Classic rooms measuring 16m² overlooks the peaceful rue Clotaire or the hotel’s interior courtyard. On each floor, their refined interior design allows you to discover the life of a famous woman. Precious fabrics and quality materials bring together comfort and modernism to give a feeling of softness! Equipped with a double bed (160cm x 200cm) or twin single beds, the rooms include a bathroom with shower or bathtub. The perfect place to rest your head before full days of Paris discovery!
Ascend the Eiffel Tower
Ascend the Eiffel Tower
Today's your birthday, and the perfect afternoon to venture to the top of the Eiffel Tower.
Ascend to the 2nd floor by elevator and take in the sweeping city views as you ascend this iconic landmark. At the end of the 2nd floor visit, take the elevator that will take you to the top. At the top, enjoy some free time to take in views of the famous landmarks that can be seen atop the Eiffel Tower. See Notre-Dame Cathedral, the Trocadéro gardens and the golden dome of the Hôtel des Invalides.
On the way back down, be sure to stop at the 1st floor where you can walk on the glass floor of the observation deck and see an exhibition on the Eiffel Tower. Leave with your head filled with memories of the capital's enchanting views and a new perspective of this magnificent city.

VIP Le Marais Paris Food Tour | Semi-Private
VIP Le Marais Paris Food Tour | Semi-Private
Enjoy a delicious three-hour morning tour of French food tasting with traditional pastries, cheeses, hot dishes with well-paired wines, macaroons, and chocolates, in the beautiful area of Le Marais in Paris.
Le Marais is a beautiful medieval arrondissement of Paris, a maze of narrow cobbled streets, old timbered buildings, aristocratic mansions, and many hidden gems with picturesque squares like Place des Vosges. Named for the marshland it was originally built on, Le Marais was once the headquarters of the infamous Knights Templar. Today it is one of Paris’s most upmarket, multi-ethnic, and trendy neighborhoods, and this is reflected in its international cuisine. It is also home to the Jewish community, and popular with art lovers, bookworms, fashionistas, and foodies alike!
Your tour meets at 10.30 a.m in the very heart of Le Marais, and begins at a charming patisserie, famous for its elaborate decor, where you’ll sample the traditional French breakfast pastry: the croissant! Your expert English-speaking guide will tell you all about the area and the traditions of French cuisine, and then lead you around this vibrant neighborhood.
Next up is a mouth-watering tasting of a variety of traditional French cheeses with freshly baked baguette, and a well-paired glass of wine.
It may sound strange that Paris is world famous for its falafel, which originates in the middle east, but it’s true. Falafel is the most popular street food in Paris. Head to the buzzing Rue des Rosiers, in the heart of the Jewish neighborhood, to sample the best falafel in the world! The street with its vibrant atmosphere is home to many kosher food shops, stalls, and restaurants.
Now it’s time for a well-deserved sit down at a local restaurant for a delicious French onion soup and expertly paired wine. After lunch, you’ll be taken to two more specialist venues for two samplings of famously French sweet treats: a delicate macaroon, followed by an award-winning chocolatier, for a melt-in-the-mouth tasting experience.
