Bold. Passionate. Inspiring. Three words to describe the women of Paris - and the inspiration for this week-long small group tour of the City of Lights. This tour will reveal a side of Paris you may not have seen before: the Paris of Josephine Baker, Marie Curie and many more of the incredible women who have made a mark on the city. So long, Paris-of-our-school-history-books! Hello to the stories of the fascinating women who lived in Paris. What was it like for them? What was their impact? What is it like to be a woman in Paris today?
On every day but the last of this trip, we will enjoy a group activity - a tour around our theme of the women of Paris or a workshop to satisfy some curiosities. You will have the remainder of the day to do as you wish, but will have the option of joining our host on other excursions around town. You will be free to spend the last day at your liberty - perfect in case there's something you dream of doing in Paris but that isn't covered in the itinerary. This trip is is as suited to first-time visitors as it is to the Paris habituée.
*Please note that this trip is open to all - not just those who identify as female.
