🌟Luxury Travel🌟
is when you travel 9 hours across the world to Dublin and stay at a Forbes 4-star rated hotel for 30% less than booking directly. You land at 10 AM and enjoy a guaranteed early check-in, so you can freshen up right away instead of waiting until the usual check-in time.

Each morning, you enjoy an inclusive breakfast and a cappuccino waiting for you downstairs before you head out to explore.

And when you get back late, after every restaurant has closed, you can rely on 24-hour in-room dining to bring a late-night meal directly to your door.

🌟 That’s what luxury means! 🌟

Did you know there are some amazing travel destinations outside of Paris, especially with all the excitement surrounding the Olympics?

Each of these destinations offers a unique glimpse into France's diverse culture, history, and natural beauty, making them fantastic alternatives or additions to a visit to Paris.

A half-day visit to Versailles is a must for history buffs, aesthetes, and monarchists alike. This grand 17th-century château and its sprawling gardens stretch over 2,000 acres, promising jaw-dropping beauty at every turn. The Hall of Mirrors, where history seems to shimmer around you, is the crown jewel of this enchanted place. And if you find yourself hungry after exploring, don't miss the chance to dine at the Michelin-starred La Table du 11 in the charming Cour des Senteurs—just be sure to secure your reservation well in advance!

The medieval capital of Normandy, Rouen lies just an hour and a half away from Paris by train. Rouen invites you to immerse yourself in its art and architecture, making it ideal for a leisurely exploration over a few days rather than a rushed day trip.

The Musée des Beaux Arts, commissioned by Napoleon, offers another essential cultural experience.
