Paris Arts & Pleasures - May 15 - 23, 2013
Come with me to discover the Paris beyond the long lines and tourist spots, the Paris of niches and corners and unexpected pleasures. I'll show you the Paris of the 5 senses - taste, touch, smell, sight and hearing - where every step, every bite, every glance reveals an intriguing, delightful work of art! We'll discover small museums with breathtaking art, fashion and design, sample contemporary art in tiny galleries and artist studios, relish the delicious sights and smells of markets, patisseries and boulangeries, take a cooking class from a French-trained English-speaking chef, make a signature perfume with a fragrance specialist, stroll through gardens, enjoy a special wine tasting, hear music in beautiful places, and much much more.

Arts of Delicious Food
We'll sharpen our senses and our appetites at colorful markets and enticing patisseries. To be sure, we'll eat well in Paris, but we'll also take home some French ways with food. A cooking class with an English-speaking chef is a pleasure that you will treasure. Friends and family will be delighted with your new skills when you're back home!
Living arts - studios and small galleries
Artists are everywhere in Paris, in lofts, in 18th century artisan shops, down hidden alleyways. We'll join some of them in their ateliers and have the fun of knowing the story behind their work.
Arts of Good Taste
One of the joys of Paris is its trove of small charming museums, full of stories, history, and beauty. We'll visit special collections of Fine Art, Fashion and Design
Arts of the Past
The famous Marche aux Puces - the flea Markets of Paris - will take us back in time and tickle our sense of the curious and charming, while we hunt for treasures and bargains
The Art of Music
Music is everywhere in Paris. Serious artists play in the Metro and in streets and arcades. In addition to the surprises that lie around every corner in Paris we'll enjoy a concert in a beautiful setting rich with sound and atmosphere.
Taste the Pleasures of Paris!
Even the smallest details are an art! |
The Art & Pleasure of a Lovely Hotel in a Wonderful Neighborhood
Our base is a three star hotel in the 6th arrondisement on the Left Bank - the heart of Paris - placing us in the center of things while also allowing a quiet retreat at the end of a busy fun day. In a charming, convenient neighborhood full of shops, cafes, restaurants and interesting sights we're well-cared and comfortable in our own corner of Paris.
