Paris conjures visions of sophistication, beauty, drama and romance. The travel clichés abound, yet there’s no denying the allure and romance of the City of Light. Flamboyant and mysterious, Gothic and modern, refined and bawdy – Paris is all of these, with room for both grandeur and coziness. It’s a city imbued with history, a center of art, culture, and fashion -- a cauldron of the intellectual avant-garde. But it’s also a city of gardens and of cafes where people-watching is the raison d’etre. Paris is a feast of architectural splendors and small delights around every corner. And no city in the world has finer museums. The city is best seen on foot, meandering through the streets – especially those narrow lanes in the Latin Quarter - taking in unexpected pleasures at nearly every step.
Through the lens of Marlin Darrah, the world’s most-traveled filmmaker, enjoy a journey through Paris and savor the best sights and sounds a person can experience during a week’s vacation. Also included in this program is a side-trip out from Paris to Versailles, and to the nearby Loire River Valley, to walk through several of the glorious chateaus and with their meticulously designed and manicured gardens and courtyards.
