Wonderful!  We met Sabine through Isabelle's website, what a gold mine of information! Sabine took us through the beautiful country side & to the Chateau Breteuil (we even met the Marquis and took pictures with him). Chevreuse is the place I want to live! Sabine took us to her favorite Bakery and then it was back to her house to enjoy pastry in her beautiful backyard and metting Francois her husband what a treat. My Husband and I spent our 25th and now our 26th Wedding Anniversary in Paris, and if I have my way we will return to Europe each year. Isabelle is the first person I will contact! Renting one of her apartments is the only way to go and I can't wait to do it again! Tania, Abdel, Sabine, and Isabelle can make your trip and stay wonderful, easy, and leave you with the disere to return. Thanks to all of you!Sincerely, Steve & Sandy Hartin, Terry & Jane Perkins

PACKAGES  OUTSIDE  PARIS

Very  Reasonable  Price ! ! !

               

NORMANDY  +  THE  MONT SAINT-MICHEL  +  BRITTANY

 

 Normandy is about 3 hours drive from Paris. The Mont St-Michel is 1 hour from the Normand beaches, and Brittany is 1 hour from Normandy, so I suggest two-day or three-day packages allowing you to visit these beautiful regions leisurely, combining the visit of  historic sites and an insight into the local markets and produce such as : seafood, pork, cheeses, cider. Accomodation in charming stone houses B&B held by locals, home-made dinner.

 

 ****

 

CHAMPAGNE  +  SOMME  BATTLEFIELDS WW1

Same proposal :  Champagne and Somme are not very far from each other and can easily be combined in a two-day trip.

 

 ****

 

SOUTH-WEST  OF  FRANCE

As you probably know, Sabine is originated from the South-West by her parents. It is a region called « Midi-Pyrenees » (main city : Toulouse), not as well known as Provence, but really worth visiting, full of medieval villages, castles, scenic winding roads, local open markets, exquisite restaurants, vineyards. It is ideal for « gourmets » (foie gras, duck confit, etc…). Also prehistoric caves displaying parietal drawings dating from 25,000 years ago.

Five-day or more packages are easy to organize.

Very reasonable price  indeed :

Example of total cost per person

For five days in the South-West

On the basis of 6 passengers and double bedroom occupancy :

1,410 Euros (approx. US$ 1,800)

Please contact Sabine for more information.
