A Prélude in Paris: June 10 to 12, 2020

Scott Moore speaks fluent French, have visited Paris several times, and would be thrilled to share a little of his love of Paris with you. For those who are interested, he's offering a three-day pre-treat (June 10 to 12), where he’ll be personally leading walking tours of his favorite haunts of Paris. You can take a short flight or train ride to Bordeaux on the 13.

You’ll love the storybook neighborhoods, the quaint cafés and bistros, and the world-famous museums and sites. He can’t wait for you to bite into the best baguette in Paris, thumb books at the bookstore where Earnest Hemingway, James Joyce, and Gertrude Stein used to visit, and explore the streets built by the Knights Templar. You can even do some yoga in the inimitable Tuileries Gardens.

These few days are outside of the tuition of the retreat but could act as a marvelous prelude for anybody who would be interested in falling in love with one of the most beautiful cities in the world.

You’ll be responsible for your own food and lodgings and entrance into museums, but for a reasonable price, Scott Moore will create a daily schedule and tour that serve as a wonderful addition to anyone interested in a personal tour to Paris.

This will be a wonderful prélude to an already incredible retreat. He’d love nothing more than to personally guide you through one of the most beautiful cities in the world.

You’ll experience three amazing walking tours:

• Day 1: Île de la Cité (Notre Dame and St. Chapelle), Île St.-Louis, and Le Marais, including the Picasso Museum, Victor Hugo’s house, the bastille, and the Pompidou, Paris’ famous modern art museum. If you still have energy at the end of the day, you’ll relax with drinks and music at one of Paris’ coolest jazz caves.
• Day 2: The left bank, the Latin District, Luxembourg Gardens, famous cafés and literary haunts, The Eiffel Tower, and the tour de force which is the Musée d’Orsay (Van Gogh, Monet, Renoir, etc.).
• Day 3: The Louvre, l‘Avenue de Champs-Élysées, the best most chic café in Paris, and Monet’s undisputed masterpiece, Water Lilies.

You can easily take a flight or train to Bordeaux from Paris. Both cost almost the same. There are easy shuttles from the Bordeaux train station to the Bordeaux airport.
