Paris is best experienced on foot, and walking is an important part of our journeys. Guests should be comfortable walking approximately 3–5 miles on many days, often on uneven sidewalks, cobblestones, stairs, and through museums and neighborhoods. We build in opportunities to rest and use taxis or public transportation when appropriate, but a comfortable level of mobility will help you fully enjoy the experience.

A detailed itinerary will be shared with registered guests closer to departure. Because each Paris Edit is shaped around the season, current exhibitions, availability, and special opportunities, exact activities and timing may vary from trip to trip.

Our journeys are intentionally designed to experience Paris at a more thoughtful, unhurried pace rather than trying to fit every major attraction into a few days. Because places such as the Louvre, Versailles, and other large sites can require a significant time commitment, they are not typically built into the itinerary.

Most evenings are left free, and some guests choose to use that time for one special experience—perhaps the Eiffel Tower, an evening performance, or a visit to a favorite landmark—while others prefer to shop, linger over dinner, rest, or spend time with new friends. We generally recommend choosing just one priority rather than trying to pack too much into the day.

If you have a longer list of must-see sights, we suggest adding extra time in Paris before or after the journey. Staying afterward can be especially enjoyable, as you’ll already feel more familiar and comfortable navigating the city by then.

Plan to arrive no later than the morning your journey begins. Most overnight flights from the U.S. arrive in Paris in the morning, and we recommend allowing plenty of time for passport control, baggage collection, and your transfer into the city. Specific arrival guidance will be provided before your trip.

Yes. Private airport transfers are provided on the designated arrival and departure days. Details about flight timing and transfer arrangements will be shared with you before departure.

Absolutely. Many guests choose to extend their time in Paris. When possible, we will provide information about adding nights at our host hotel, although additional accommodations and related expenses are the guest's responsibility.

Your reservation is confirmed once your registration and required deposit have been received. Payment deadlines and available payment methods will be provided with the details for each journey.

Deposits and trip payments are subject to the cancellation and refund policy provided at the time of booking. Because many of our hotel rooms, experiences, and reservations are secured well in advance, portions of your payment may be non-refundable. We strongly recommend purchasing comprehensive travel insurance.

Travel insurance is strongly recommended. We encourage guests to select coverage that includes trip cancellation or interruption, medical expenses, travel delays, and lost or delayed baggage.

The experience begins well before we arrive in Paris. In the months leading up to the journey, you’ll receive helpful information about packing, what to wear, favorite books and resources about Paris, travel logistics, and what to expect. We’ll also have a way for the group to connect before and during the trip.

Each guest is responsible for having the passport and any other documentation required for international travel. Entry requirements can change, so we recommend checking current U.S. State Department and French or European Union guidance well before departure.
