Paris made easy




ALL PRICES QUOTED ARE VALID THROUGH 2012 (same as 2011)

Planning to visit Paris sometime soon ? Is your French a little rusty and you feel you won't want to have to hit the ground running as soon as you step off the 'plane ? Book with us for your trip into town from your Paris arrival airport and we will be there to meet you as you exit customs and take your to your hotel or your holiday apartment in the heart of Paris. Although British born and raised I have lived most of my life in the Paris region for the last 34 years and now operate this business along with my associate Laurent who is also fully licensed and has a working knowledge of English. As he is a native French speaker if you want to practice your French he will be delighted to help!!

The trip into town from either Orly Field or Charles de Gaulle takes between 40 minutes and forever (!) depending on the traffic which varies depending on your arrival time so I charge a fixed rate of 75 euros in to Paris and 65 euros pick up and drop off at airport for up to 4 passengers.

Mastercard and Visa are accepted.

Also, if you are flying to or from the (low cost flights within Europe) airport of Paris Beauvais we can also handle the transfer. The cost is 130 euros one way (its 65 miles from central Paris) but in some circumstances depending on arrival or departure time we can reduce this to 100 euros.

In addition to your airport transfer once you have settled in we can take you on trips & excursions such as The Monet Gardens at Giverny which for a half day trip is currently 250 euros* for up to 4 people and an extra 10 euros for each additional passenger - This includes two hours at Giverny (additional time at 30 euros an hour or pro rata). Or the D-Day Normandy beaches and/or visits to picturesque Normandy villages with maybe lunch at the beautiful old fishing port of Honfleur- This is a whole day trip and can include a visit to the Monet Gardens at Giverny at no extra cost it lasts 11/12 hours and total cost for up to 7 people is 700 euros*.

Its also possible to do a whole day to include the Chateau at Versailles in the morning and Giverny in the afternoon. We charge 375 euros for this combination...

We also do trips to the Champagne region including the towns of Reims and Epernay for 450 euros* this again is an all day trip we take in a cellar tour of one of the big Champagne producers and lunch (if required) at a nice restaurant on the banks of the Marne river after a drive though the vinyard country.

If you are just on a short stopover in Paris or you would like to get an overview when you arrive perhaps for the first time we also offer 2 to 3 hour "drive-by" tours (at 50 euros an hour minimum 2 hours ) of the main monuments...

Prices mentioned are still current for 2012
