OVERVIEW: Paris,
the city of romance. Well, you'll fall in love with Parisienne icons
such as the Arc de Triomphe, the Champs Elysées, the Eiffel
Tower, the Latin Quarter, the colorful gardens with historic
statues, the Seine River bridges, Notre Dame plus the 'off the beaten track'
Paris and more. Night photography also included.
PARIS NOTES: This trip is predominantly a walking tour of Paris, but
we'll use the Metro for more distant subjects or when needs must.
We'll make stops for tea/coffee/photography critique and instruction
breaks. Average health is sufficient for this trip.
This is an optional
add-on to my British and European photo tours and workshops,
and can be taken with or without participation in one of those
trips. See the
photo tour list.
TRAVEL TO THE GATEWAY AIRPORT
o It is recommended that clients arrive a day early to be fresh for the trip, and to also counteract possible flight delays.
o Early arrival also enables you to explore the gateway city should you wish to do so.
o When booking flights, add a day for overnight travel or two days if also crossing the Pacific Ocean/International Dateline.
o The last day of the trip is the date you should arrange your flight home unless you plan to stay on. Thank you!
