There are so many different ways to know Paris, all interesting and delightful. For this trip we will focus on Paris both as the center of the Age of Faith during the 12th and 13th centuries, and as the exciting, glamorous modern center of art, great food, and spectacular beauty.

A comfortable home in the heart of Paris
