Immerse Yourself in Paris’s Rich Culture and History

Paris is a treasure trove of iconic sights, and each landmark offers its own unique story. We’ll start our exploration at the Louvre Museum, home to masterpieces like the Mona Lisa and Venus de Milo. Art lovers and history buffs alike will find themselves mesmerized by the breadth of art spanning thousands of years.

• Notre-Dame Cathedral: This Gothic marvel stands as a symbol of Paris’s resilience and beauty. Join fellow travelers as we appreciate its intricate facade and learn about its role in Parisian history.
• Montmartre and Sacré-Cœur: Known for its artistic history, Montmartre’s cobblestone streets are lined with galleries, street artists, and charming bistros. It’s a great spot for leisurely walks and stunning views of the city.

Having a local community manager means you’ll get valuable insights and tips along the way, adding depth to each site without rushing through it.

Enjoy Parisian Cafés and Culinary Adventures

Paris is a paradise for food lovers, and exploring its cuisine is a must. We’ll visit local markets where vendors offer the freshest cheeses, bread, and pastries. The Good Life Abroad’s community approach lets you savor these experiences in the company of others, adding joy to every bite.

• Café Culture: Enjoy a classic Parisian café experience with a croissant and coffee. Some of Paris’s oldest cafés, like Café de Flore and Les Deux Magots, offer beautiful views and a place to people-watch.
• Cooking Classes: Take part in a cooking class where you’ll learn to make classic French dishes. Whether it’s preparing coq au vin or a delicate tarte tatin, these classes are fun and enriching, especially when enjoyed with new friends.

Sharing these experiences with other seniors creates a warm, social atmosphere, making each meal a memory.

Take Scenic Day Trips Beyond Paris

Paris is surrounded by breathtaking sites just a short trip away. With optional excursions, you can enjoy the French countryside and its treasures at a relaxed pace, all organized for comfort and ease.

• Giverny and Monet’s Garden: This picturesque village, where Claude Monet painted his famous water lilies, is ideal for a peaceful stroll and a glimpse into the world of impressionist art.
• Château de Versailles: Known for its opulence, Versailles offers a look into France’s royal past. The palace’s gardens and fountains are as magnificent as its halls, making it a highlight for history lovers.
