Paris Lifestyle Tours

Cultural,Themed and Study Tours

Many of our clients are spending an extended time in France and want to experience life like a local, rather than a tourist.  Even if you are planning a stay in Paris of only a few days, you can enjoy this experience whatever your budget.  We'll organise everything for your stay or you can book a half day "getting organised" private session where we help you get set up with all the info you'll need - arrange passes, transport tickets etc, show you where to shop for supplies, update you with what's on, make reservations, organise day tours out of Paris etc.

If you are interested in immersing yourself in French History, French language or French culture, we can also tailor-make something for you or your group.  Our colleagues at France Heritage have many years of experience in organising high quality group tours with unique content and expert guides.  If you are interested in putting together a special interest itinerary for your group, click on the link to see some of the options in our French Culture and Study Tours.
