Prices:

Whereas every tour is customized to suit your parameters, I can give you some indication of what to expect in terms of cost. Note that the most economical way to go is in a group of 8 or more for a longer period of time, the most expensive is two people for a couple days. Paris hotels are about double the cost of anywhere else. Also, the sooner you book, the more likely I can get reservations in the hidden gems that give the best value for money – often the more luxurious the setting, the later you can book. The starting points below are for nice and comfy lodgings, but they’re typically short on luxury and light on atmosphere, but I’m happy to provide options.

Prices including lodging, two meals daily, most entry fees, and ground transportation, per person and per day, start at:

• 200 euros for twenty people for two weeks
• 250 euros for eight people for ten days
• 300 euros for four people for six days
• 550 euros for two people for two days

Currency: I quote tours in euros, which is the currency I’ll use to pay expenses. You can pay me with your US dollar checks in an amount equivalent to the euro price as of the time you’re making a payment.
