France

Your overall comments on the trip and the travel company:

Our travel agent Laurie was beyond outstanding. From our initial phone conversation to the creation of a very special itinerary all the way through our time in Paris, Laurie was knowledgeable and reassuring. She knew exactly what I wanted for our trip and helped me achieve it. Her contacts in Paris are wonderful and it's telling that they speak as highly of her as she does of them. I've found a travel agent for life.

What were the most enjoyable or memorable parts of your trip?

My 10 year old daughter and I spent an incredible 5 days immersing ourselves in Parisian culture. We were led by brilliant guides at the Louvre, the Opera Garnier and Versailles, where we literally walked in the footsteps of Marie Antoinette. We also enjoyed a day in Villiers marketing, cooking and eating with a gourmet guide. The wonderful Aurelie introduced us to the Parisian life we would live if we were lucky enough to live in Paris ourselves.

If you could take your trip again, what would you do differently?

I would stay longer and take even more pictures.
