Paris Insiders Boutique Shopping Tour

Enjoy a 4-hour Parisian shopping experience for two that lets you shop at secret addresses and gain insider tips from a bilingual personal guide devoted to helping you bring home "Paris in your bag." Shopping in Paris can be difficult for Americans but having a local expert to personally take you through the process will make it more enjoyable. Learn the ins-and-outs that only a good Parisian friend would share and help you find your way through the labyrinth of tiny rues to discover some of the most charming shops. Plus, you will learn shopping "etiquette" that is helpful when dealing with French shopkeepers.

Chic Shopping Paris is the brain child of American-born Rebecca Perry Magniant, who first visited Paris at the age of 18. Upon returning home, she wrote in her journal, "I hope I come back to live here someday."  As luck would have it, she met her future husband while living in Washington, D.C. and her dream came true when she moved to Paris in 2002 with her Parisian fiancé, now husband. 

While exploring Paris, Rebecca discovered les bonnes addresses, the personal list of favorite shops meticulously compiled and jealously guarded by every stylish Frenchwoman. When she assembled her own, some of her finds impressed her impossibly chic belle-mére (mother-in-law), and she knew she was on to something. Her labor of love, Chic Shopping Paris, is the premier Parisian shopping service. Let her share with you the créme de la créme of fashion, decor, beauty and more - including many boutiques that offer goods and services only available in Paris.

Choose from suggested themes such as arts and antiques markets, unique boutiques, gourmet goodies, chic consignment treasures, outlets with luxury labels, baby & mommy, Sunday shopping, or if you are looking for something specific, have this shopping experience customized to your tastes.  You will take a "break" in one of the chic cafés in the neighborhood.  A word to the wise: bring an extra collapsible suitcase in your luggage!

AMEX Gift Card

Enjoy a $500 (U.S. dollars) American Express gift card that be used anywhere American Express is accepted worldwide.

O Chateau Wine Bar and Restaurant

Enjoy a dinner and wine pairing for two, which includes Champagne and three wines chosen by their sommeliers that are perfectly paired with your 3-course chef tasting menu.  The largest wine bar in town, O Chateau is just a 6-minute walk from the Louvre and a block from the beautiful Rue Montorgueuil.  Run by Paris’ Cordon Bleu graduates, every plate incorporates a masterful layering of tastes and a passion and commitment to creating distinctly delicious dishes. 

You will enjoy a meet and greet opportunity with O Chateau’s owner Olivier Magny (or their chef if Olivier is not in that evening). Sommelier Olivier Magny is well known in Paris for everything that has to do with wine. Offering  wine tasting classes since 2004, Olivier opened O Chateau Wine Bar and Restaurant in 2011 and features 40 wines by the glass nightly. When he’s not conducting wine-tasting classes at O Chateau, Olivier is busy developing a TV series in France about local food and wine and hosting the award-winning video blog “Wine Rendez-Vous”. Olivier is also a writer, public speaker and food critic

You will also receive a signed copy of Olivier’s best-selling book Stuff Parisians Like, which New York Magazine says is “hilariously perceptive”.

Le Royal Monceau, a Raffles Hotel (Paris)

Enjoy a 5-night stay in a studio room including daily breakfast for two at this luxury property located just minutes from the famous Arc de Triomphe and Champs-Elysees. After a major refurbishment, the hotel is now a 21st century French masterpiece that combines Le Royal Monceau’s unique style, which celebrates the French tradition of “art de vivre”, and the elegance and residential charm for which Raffles is renowned. Rooms offer views of the hotel’s generous landscaped gardens - a rarity in Paris. Enjoy the redesigned indoor swimming pool, a new fitness center with top-of-the-line equipment, and the onsite spa. Maximum occupancy of two per room.
