It is possible to extend your stay in Paris beyond the dates of the Tour, see below, and you could also go wherever you'd like on your own and come back to Paris to fly back.

Please note that this itinerary entails a fair amount of walking. We will take buses mostly when people are tired or if we need to speed up of for long distances. This itinerary may evolve in function of the dynamic of the group, the weather and opportunities.
These prices are all inclusive like the rest of the tour, and therefore include, hotel, meals, drinks, bus, entrance fees etc.

$610
The Sainte Chapelle
DAY 13 Friday May 22
This itinerary is made that day so that we may have lunch in a rare gem of a small restaurant, very convivial, as Parisian as it gets. It is best to go there for lunch on a weekday. Disclosure: this restaurant is so authentic that its only toilet is a turk one. When I was growing up these were still the norm, although now they are kind of an oddity. There will be more modern bathrooms everywhere else, but you should know what to expect. Turkish toilets BTW, are supposed to be more hygienic, and other than that the restaurant meets all proper standards, in an authentic package. Their food and wine have won them the respect of most Parisians in the know.
Walk to Pont des Arts Back to Saint Germain des Près Saint Sulpice Bus to restaurant Lunch Jardin du Luxembourg Quartier Vavin Montparnasse
SPECIAL DINNER at my friend's Philippe Lambert in his Montparnasse's appartment. Philippe was born in Durham, although I did not know that until I moved here, he was first a customer, then became a friend. He grew up in Montréal, and is perfectly bilingual. The dinner will be catered by a top notch south west restaurant (Basque), we will have wines that we toured, and Philippe will treat us with some accordion, as he is a rather accomplished modern style accordion player.
We cannot accommodate more than 8 participants for this dinner. Priority is given to the Paris Itinerary participants. For non Itinerary participants, the cost will be $105.
