What's better than sharing paradise with your kids AND having an educational program for them that is unimaginably fantastic included in the price of the cruise. After COVID, remote learning, and the rest of that "stuff", don't you need to give yourself and the kids a mind-blowing vacation!?? If it's too late for the summer of 2023, plan ahead for 2024. Contact me at [email protected] and let's get started!! I've experienced PG Cruises 3 times and can guarantee that it's as incredible as they say it is!!! 😎😎

Looking for a special "room with a view" while driving through the Loire Valley? This one is within 200 feet of the ChĂąteau de Chambord. How often do you get your own river barge for the night?
Aren't you worth such a treat?

There's a LOT to see besides Paris when you go to France. A visit to the Loire Valley will provide you with a peaceful escape from a bustling city to the beauty and history of the incredible Chùteaux of the Loire Valley. Chambord, the gem of the castles, is the largest of the chùteaux and boasts a wonderful hotel just a few steps away. The Relais de Chambord is a new property, encompassing the former HÎtel St Michel, where I stayed several times from the yearly 70s to the late 90s. Imagine waking at dawn - looking out your window at the chùteau 100 feet away, taking a morning walk around the grounds, and perhaps encountering some wild boar as stroll (or jog) in the silence of sunrise. You can stay here and enjoy the other wonderful chùteaux in the area - Cheverny, Chenonceaux, Amboise, Clos Lucé (where Leonardo da Vinci lived).

Découvrez le privilÚge de dormir dans le seul hÎtel du domaine privé de 5 440 hectares du chùteau, entouré de verdure et baigné d'histoire.
Experience the privilege of sleeping in the only hotel in the ChĂąteau's private 5,440-hectare estate, surrounded by greenery and history.

A nice place to relax after touring the inside of the Opéra Garnier, across the street. It's an incredible building designed by the same architect who designed the Casino de Monte Carlo. The ceiling of the Grand Salle is spectacular, as is the white marble staircase.

If you're fortunate enough to be staying in the St Germain des Prés area of the Quartier Latin, this is definitely an interesting spot - within 3-5 minutes from your hotel. Two of my favorite hotels are literally that nearby. They're also even closer to two of the most famous cafés in Paris! The Musée Delacroix is very small, but without the throngs in the Musée d'O and Le Louvre. Those large museums are also within a 5-10 minute stroll away, but involve crowds and pre-arranged tickets and/or tours to truly appreciate. The little garden/courtyard within the museum also provides a quiet spot if you wish to just relax and, perhaps, do some reading in peace!
Oh, the oldest church in Paris - St Germain des Prés - is also halfway between your hotel and the museum! How convenient can THAT be?!
Having visited Paris well in excess of 50 times, I can provide you with some insight regarding other, less-visited spots to make your time in Paris tailored to your preferences and with some quiet spots to just sit and admire your surroundings.

Located in the best location in Paris: 15-minute stroll to Notre-Dame, Le Louvre, Musée d'Orsay, Jardin du Luxembourg, Cluny Museum, Panthéon, and 100 feet from the St Germain des Prés Métro. A small, family-owned hotel with personalized service.
Outstanding accommodations, outstanding location, outstanding staff.
I've seen their 4 other hotels in Paris and have met the owners, so know firsthand the attention and care they put into serving their guests.
[email protected] - I've traveled to Paris since 1969, accompanied student and adult groups to France from 1976-2005, and am able to help you design a personalized trip to match your interests and budget.

One of the best ways to enjoy the beaches of French Polynesia ~ a cruise with Paul Gauguin cruises.
This is one of the Gauguines, hosts/hostesses who are on every cruise and who provide authentic cultural presentations - from all aspects of the wonderful Tahitian culture - to make your trip even more memorable. He's probably the "senior Gauguin" of the group - he was on my first PG sailing in 2010. They present workshops of all sorts in addition to demonstrating traditional Tahitian dances.
Now is the time to plan your bucket list travels to paradise!
[email protected] - I've traveled to Tahiti since 1986 and have sailed with PG cruises since 2010.

Find your beach! French Polynesia is home to more than 118 islands - all of them with a beautiful beach. On National Beach Day, consider exploring these famed shores with Paul Gauguin Cruises.

"It can seem strange, but we are at home at Café de Flore. ' After the war, Arthur Koestler, Ernest Hemingway, Truman Capote, Lawrence Durell, Simone de Beauvoir, and Juliette Gréco were regulars, and eventually, the fashion set found itself right at home at the Flore, the most famous being Karl Lagerfeld."
Within 1 minute of this café are two of my favorite hotels in Paris, right in the center of the Quartier Latin. Within a 15-20 minute walk, you can also visit St Germain des PrÚs (oldest church in Paris), le Musée Rodin, HÎtel des Invalides (Napoléon's Tomb), Notre-Dame de Paris, La Sainte Chapelle, Ile de la Cité, Ile St Louis (Berthillon sorbet and ice cream), Le Louvre, Le Musée d'Orsay, Jardin du Luxembourg, Le Musée Cluny, and rides on the Seine or strolls along its banks.
For more information or to plan your "Adventure in Paris", contact me at: [email protected]
I've traveled to Paris an average of once a year since 1969 and can help you plan a visit from the most basic to one with private tours of the city or even with 1-day or longer side trips, from self-drive to all-inclusive tours or river cruises.

A classic Hemingway bar in Saint Germain, this one is equally a favourite amongst tourists and locals alike.

This is why many of you see/hear/read my ongoing recommendations of Paul Gauguin Cruises! They offer the most amazing small-ship cruise in the most amazing part of the world - the paradise of French Polynesia and other remarkable locations in the surrounding South Pacific. You will be overwhelmed by some things, but with PG those things will not include a wild, alcohol-inspired party atmosphere. Most, if not all, of my clients, are looking for relaxation, great dining, varied excursions or activities, incredible scenery, and happy, friendly staff (who will know you by name and not hesitate to say hello if you should run into them on an island during the day. On most cruises, the staff is not permitted to speak to guests off the ship unless the guest speaks first. With PG, don't be surprised to see the captain in a port who will stop and chat. Once you have sailed with PG, you're a lifelong member of the "family".
From my past sailing experience with them, as well as training with the company, I can explain in detail the possibilities, and even offer some special services or pricing that some of us agents are notified of a few days before the "general" release of such things to the public.
