Eiffel Tower From The Seine |
Grandmother and Granddaughter Adventure in Paris
July 11 - 18, 2008
There’s something very special about sharing a week in Paris, the most beautiful of cities, with your granddaughter. The excitement is electric. There’s nothing that equals the boulevards, the monuments, the cafes, the museums, the majestic Seine, the ambiance of Paris.
Our accommodations are a studio with two beds and a small kitchen. We think it is important to have kitchen facilities to make breakfast and a refrigerator for snacks. In addition, there is a washing machine on the lower level of our hotel. Our hotel also has a very convenient location that enables us to walk to many places: Notre Dame, the Louvre, Musee D'Orsay, and Samaritaine (a very nice department store).
Our itinerary is devised to give you both a taste of the glories of Paris ... its history, art, food, and, oh yes, shopping.
