Discovering a new place with a small group of women is a completely different experience than going on your own or with a larger mixed group. After our first glass of wine on night one, the stories and laughter begin. By the end of the week, people have made life-long friends. Watching this beautiful connection happen, for me, is the magic of Girls’ Guide to Paris and Beyond.
At Girl’s Guide we are all about camaraderie & bonding
We love adventure, knowledge and discovery
We value kindness, down-time and little luxuries
We delight in new-found friends, experiences and insight
We celebrate diversity, in age, background and thought
We are globally minded
We don’t shy away from new tastes and smells
We appreciate good wine, wonderful food (not to mention turn-down service at hotels)
Discovery excites us
Meeting new people intrigues us
A beautiful doorway or a vibrant vista inspires us
And we always say a big merci for all that life has to offer us
Meet as strangers…leave as friends
