Why travel with Karen Gros?

_____________________________________________

• Meet the real French. My being married to a Frenchmen, the ties with my in-laws and French friends, as well as our extensive stays in France, give me an inside track that I use to create original, yet authentic experiences. I am a French-speaking American with a comprehensive understanding of French culture.
• Travel as a small group. Be welcomed everywhere you go as a group of friends, rather than a hoard of tourists; enjoy access to special places and people not available to "tourists" or larger groups.
• Enjoy culturally enriching and personalized experiences. All activities and outings are organized exclusively for you to ensure a genuine French experience. My established relationships with professionals in France ~ Master Chefs, Professional Guides/Historians, Viticulturalists, Oenologists, Agriculturists ~ provide access to in-depth discovery and learning of French tradition and culture.
• Experience the culture in a more direct way. Rather than being a tourist in a hotel, I prefer to offer you the opportunity to be a "local."

  • In Paris, stay in beautifully furnished apartments ~ you will love being able to shop at the neighborhood outdoor market, and getting to know your local butcher, grocer, baker, pastry maker, and pharmacist ~ all part of the experience of living in Paris.
  • In Normandy & Brittany, as well as on the Riviera, stay in beautiful, high quality bed & breakfasts ~ the intimacy with the owners, who in some cases are family friends, is an enriching experience.
• Stay in comfort and beauty. Each accommodation is chosen based on authenticity, character, beauty, and comfort. All rooms offer private bathroom & toilet facilities.
• Travel with a true culinary expert. As a Culinary Instructor of French cuisine, I offer profound knowledge about cuisine and culinary traditions in France.
• Benefit from high-quality standards. My selective preferences will expose you to the very best quality ~ reflected in the smallest details, as well as in the bigger picture ~ an attribute that the French refer to as "savoir vivre."
