Lise created a wonderful trip for our family to visit France. She definitely took into account our family's passion of history and created a tailored experience that could be enjoyed for all of us.
D-Day Tours - our guide, Valentine, earned the fan favorite award from our kids! He definitely knew his history and engaged our kids along the way. Thankful for his time in ensuring we truly experienced the heroism of the allies on D-Day and how it shaped the culture of the region. Enjoyed lots of laughs at lunch!
Mont St.Michel - our guide, Corinne, was so patient with our young family and was sure to point out the beauty and history of Mont Saint Michel as well as the local region. With the airline luggage mishap, it was nice to have another mom understand what I needed to fill gaps and ensure my family had a nice vacation.
Tour of the medieval cite with Raphael was full of animated descriptions of history and culture! She did a fantastic job of engaging my family and we felt very safe with her navigating us through the heightened security present that day!
Christina was our tour guide through the Sweet Side of Paris and brought a level of chic elegance to the afternoon! We really enjoyed the added stop through the Saint-Germain de Pres and sharing her knowledge of history!
The Louvre tour guide, Raphael, really eliminated the overwhelming vastness of the museum. She flawlessly taught my non-artistic family about the various pieces through the museum and incorporated history in a way my young children could understand.
It was wonderful to see my children make connections about the culture, history and geography through the teachings of the tour guides! Not only did we get to visit and see a beautiful country but we were able to learn about its culture and develop a greater appreciation for its people and past!

An absolute jewel! The hotel provided a wonderful space for our young kids and the staff were incredibly helpful and understanding to our stress of luggage not arriving with us. Breakfast was delicious and the space incredibly relaxing!
