Mother Daughter Paris 2019
March 25 - April 1, 2019
"Paris is always a good idea" as Audrey Hepburn said. Whether it's your first or tenth visit, Paris is a good idea- especially in March!
Join "Just Girls" for a Mother-Daughter Get-Away to Paris in March 2019. We will focus on living like a Parisienne for a few days, and authentic Paris will be yours.
March is a wonderful time to visit - the airfare is low, hotel rates are less, the museums & galleries less crowded and shopping is amazing. Our Get-Away to Paris is about exploring the city the way Parisians do. We will visit "passages" to see how women were shopping a 150 years ago (and still are!), drink coffee or creamy hot chocolate in fabulous historic cafés, shop in exquisite boutiques in several different neighborhoods. We will visit some of the city's most beautiful museums on our own terms...with fewer crowds. We will dine & sip wine in trendy, eye-catching restaurants. Photo opportunities will abound as we walk through Paris at all different hours - enjoying the beauty of gardens in morning, historic buildings reflected on the River Seine, seeing the Arc de Triomphe silhouetted against a dusty pink sunset and the city lit up after dark. We will have a few of those amazing bright-blue sky days so you can sit outside at a café, look up and grab the rays. You’ll invariably be surrounded by locals.
This trip offers you the flexibility to "join in" or "opt out" of some excursions as you like. Cost of meals are not included unless otherwise stated.

We will first head to Montmartre for a walking tour of the village that once sat outside of Paris proper and still retains the feel of a village. Montmartre has a very interesting history and was home to the famous painters and writers at the turn of the last century. We will enjoy a guided tour of the neighborhood, stop to see the basilica of Sacre Coeur and the great views of Paris below. After a leisurely lunch in a neighborhood bistro we will take a quick metro ride to the Marché aux Puces de St.-Ouen, which is generally thought to be the biggest flea market in the world.
