Everyone has a travel love language. Ours is Paris. Join us for a week of inspiration September 6-12, 2023. You'll spend a week exploring the hidden gems of Paris and its environs from Malmaison to fireworks at Vaux le Vicomte. For September 2023 we’re focusing on the glorious, glamorous history of "l’art de vivre." We've revamped our Paris Décor Tour itinerary to focus on truly unique design discoveries, atelier visits and Parisian experiences that capture that unique French savoir faire. We are calling it the Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous: French History Edition. Private tours of historic châteaux, visits to not-your-typical museums, unique special events, and so, so, much more. Of course, there will be free time to explore, and we’re here to help you make the most of your time in Paris! If you have questions, contact us. Mark your calendars!

love window “shopping” no matter the time of year. Dior does not disappoint with their new Enchanted Forest windows to celebrate the first anniversary of the reopening of their flagship on 30 rue Montaigne. The fairy tale windows are the perfect welcome to Spring. Fabulous flora and fauns all done by the petit mains from upcycled scraps of textiles, trims, and notions from the ateliers, as a tribute to their exceptional savoir-faire. Look closely for zipper heads, rings, buckles and more. Creativity and ingenuity at its best. But of course, it’s DIOR. See the windows in person this September with our Paris Décor Tour as we explore the French l’art de vivre. We’ll be doing the Dior Galeria exhibit- also amazing and a must see! - (More on that later) as part of our all new itinerary. #decortours #jetaimeparis #dior #hautecouturepetitmains #artdelavivre

Inspired by the botanicals by Victorian painter Marianne North, who traveled the world solo documenting flora and fauna, the new Clarke and Clarke collection is an eclectic mix of grounds, motifs ans constructions ties together by a bold color story
