FULLY BOOKED: Weekend in Paris, With 10 French Lessons + Full Time Guide

Hello Tastourians!

I've been to Paris several times, but always felt that the experience would have been better with a 'Full Time Guide' to help me with the language and culture. After 3 years of searching, I've finally found the perfect guide. This weekend away has it all: It's a combination of sight seeing and lessons in French, Food and Wine. We will be guided from London on the Eurostar by our charming French Guide. Our lessons will begin with role-play on the train and continue throughout the weekend whilst we eat, drink, shop and sightsee with a FUN professional language teacher.

Urgent booking note:

I'm very keen to book at this hotel as it is excellent value for the quality and location - right next to the Eiffel Tower. With most tourist spots within walking distance it means you can have some free time, without negotiating trains and buses on your own. BUT They only have a few rooms left. It has a good deal with the Eurostar as well, which means we can keep the price low, by booking together. I need to have the names of the people travelling asap to secure the price. I know it's asking you to act on impulse, but I wondered if 4 people would be keen by Sunday?

If you can't commit now, as long as we have a few people, we will still go ahead, but if the hotel has space those booking later may have to pay an additional charge.

Please RSVP, even if you're a maybe, with your thoughts in the comments.

Cheers,

Kelly

This trip requires 1 day of annual leave.
