Experience the poetry of Paris on this intimate six-night visit to the City of Light. Your itinerary includes exceptional experiences of culture and cuisine, including a performance of Handel’s Semele starring Festival Napa Valley headliner and internationally renowned coloratura soprano Pretty Yende. With backstage access at the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées, you’ll meet Pretty Yende after the show. You’ll also share a private dinner with her in one of Paris’s most elegant restaurants.
Designed to immerse you in the city’s unique beauty, the itinerary includes a private tour of the Louvre when it’s peacefully closed to the public, and spa treatments at celebrity-favored facialist Sophie Carbonari’s Jardin du Palais Royal studio.
You’ll settle into Cliff Lede’s exquisite two-bedroom pied-à-terre in the Left Bank’s 7th Arrondissement. One of Paris’s most prestigious neighborhoods, Le Septième, as the locals call it, has been home to the French nobility since the 17th century. From there, the city awaits you with iconic landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower and l’Hôtel des Invalides, museums including the Musée d’Orsay and the Musée Rodin, and the aristocratic atmosphere of Faubourg Saint-Germain in strolling distance.
On your return, you’ll receive a vertical of Cliff Lede “Poetry” Cabernet Sauvignon double magnums, vintages 2008 – 2010, each hand-signed by Cliff. It’s the perfect coda for a magnifique trip to Paris. After all, tout est bien qui finit bien.
