A Luxury Girlfriends Escape — August 31 – September 6, 2026
Seven Days of Pure Paris
This intimate, small-group escape is closely tied to the release of my upcoming Paris novel — a full-immersion experience where story and travel intertwine. Walk in the footsteps of my characters while indulging in chocolate, champagne, perfume, fashion, and unforgettable dining, all at a relaxed pace designed for savoring the city.
Your Itinerary
Exact order and experiences subject to refinement, but the overall flow and inclusions will remain.
Arrival & Welcome
Arrive in Paris with private transfers to the hotel. In the early evening, gather for a champagne welcome cocktail, followed by a convivial dinner at Le Vaudeville — a classic Parisian brasserie renowned for its elegant atmosphere and seafood specialties. The perfect first taste of what's to come.
Chocolate, Heritage & Perfume
Begin the morning with a guided chocolate walk through iconic Paris houses. Lunch follows at L'Ecluse Madeleine, home to Paris's best truffle croque-monsieur. In the afternoon, step into the atmospheric stone-walled cellar of Maison Molinard for a private perfume workshop — a truly sensory afternoon.
A Day in the Champagne Region
Full-day private excursion to the Champagne region. Visit a family-owned estate for a tour of the winemaking process, vineyard exploration, and a relaxed champagne brunch on-site. In the afternoon, visit Ruinart — home to spectacular UNESCO-listed cellars that must be seen to be believed.
Shopping, Notre-Dame & the Ritz
A day of Parisian style: curated shopping and private showrooms — think leather bags, trendy berets, and silk scarves — followed by lunch at Chez Julien on sun-drenched terraces overlooking the Île Saint-Louis. Explore the beautifully restored Notre-Dame Cathedral and the literary refuge of Shakespeare & Company. Early evening: a guided cocktail masterclass at the legendary Ritz.
Pastry, Dior & Crazy Horse
Start at the Arc de Triomphe before a hands-on pastry workshop — macarons or another French specialty. Lunch at Ladurée's flagship on the Champs-Élysées, savoring delicate macarons beneath sparkling chandeliers. Afternoon immerses you in the world of Dior Gallery, an ode to haute couture. Early evening aperitif at Les Petites Mains, then a night at Crazy Horse — Paris's most refined contemporary cabaret.
Seine Cruise, Montmartre & Farewell Dinner
A scenic Seine cruise with champagne, French specialties, and a professional photographer to capture beautiful keepsakes of the city and of you. Wander the charming lanes of Montmartre with time for souvenir shops and sweet treats. The afternoon is yours to savor. Conclude the week with a celebratory farewell dinner at Coco, located within the magnificent Opéra House.
Au Revoir, Paris
