For my sister and me this was a trip of a lifetime returning to France where we lived for several years when we were young. Lise worked very closely with us to plan out everything we requested in addition to adding in some activities we had not thought of such as the side trip to Monet's home and gardens. From the time we arrived at CGD airport to the moment we were dropped off for our flight back to the United States, everything went like clockwork! This included private transfers, all tickets to activities and tours, as well as train tickets and stays at wonderful boutique hotels. There were a lot of highlights to this trip but my sister and I loved our Seine dinner cruise on Bastille Day with incredible fireworks over the Eiffel Tower. Frankly we were amazed at how little stress we had with this trip. When visiting France again I will definitely work with Lise. Thanks so much!

Enjoyed with whirlwind tour of the Louvre.

Although this guided tour was good I believe that my sister and I would have done just as well with a personal guided tour on our own with our driver just giving us a set time for us to visit Chartres before we traveled to our next destination.

The private lunch at the Chateau was fantastic! I loved the marriage museum at this small Chateau.

Although our guide was very nice her command of the English language was limited. Since I speak some French it was not as much of a problem for me as it was for my sister. We would have been better off to take the English audio guide and tour on our own with the guide just dropping us off for the allotted time.
