Paris & France: Curated Recommendations

What are Curated Recs?

Curated recommendations are suggestions of places to go, things to do, monuments to see, restaurants/bars/cafes to stop at, etc. You'll receive a "Map Guide" - a list of places, with my personal notes on each card. Curated Recommendations are NOT a Custom Itinerary telling you when to go and how to get there. They are just the recommendations of the places themselves. 

Who are Curated Recs good for?

Curated Recs are great for travelers who have perhaps already planned a lot on their own, and want a few local suggestions. Or, they want lots ot suggestions and don't mind putting together the "puzzle" of how everything fits into their days in Paris.
