Experience Paris

Raina Birden16 Comments

My husband and I just returned from a trip to Paris, France. It was a wonderful trip. We were one of 59 associates in our company that earned this all expenses paid trip. What a luxurious trip it was, we were thoroughly spoiled. I have never experienced such generosity in any other company as I have in this one. You are truly family and treated with such love and respect. You will see how well we were treated in my photos, but to give you a hint: chauffeurs to transport us to and from the airport, business class & first class flights, Four Seasons George V Hotel accomodations, gifts: watch for men and Louis Vuitton for the women, guided tours, dinner cruise, private dinner at the Laurant Restaurant, private tour and cocktail party at Musee d’Orsay.

There is so much to see in Paris, and I know we did not see everything, but what we did experience during our visit was great. Besides going to some amazing sites, we walked all over and just experienced the culture. Of course the food was so good, I am sure I ate french bread everyday! I would recommend a trip to Paris or everyone.  Here are some of the places we went:

  • The Louvre Museum
  • Monmartre & the Basilique Sacre Cour
  • Eiffel Tower
  • Shopping on the Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré
  • Versailles
  • Musée d’Orsay (Private viewing & cocktail party)
  • Palais Garnier Opera House
  • Arc de Triomphe
  • Place de la Concorde
  • Pont Alexandre III Bridge
  • Dinner cruise on the Seine
  • Dinner at Restaurant Laurent
