Paris at any time of year is magic. In June, the poppies are in full blossom, silhouetted against fields of wheat from which the baguettes whose fragrance reels you in at every street corner are fashioned. Come join us for 4 days of discovery, with market strolls, wine tastings, hands-on culinary sessions, bistro jaunts, and exploration of one of the most beautiful cities on the planet, with a token expedition into the countryside as well.
