EXPERIENCE FRANCE
WITH JANICE
Linger longer in the culture, food, and slow living
This Paris Experience is intentionally slow, allowing us to savor the city and avoid being rushed through our day. We aren’t checking off boxes; we are breathing in culture, food, and making new friends.
This journey is about being present and enjoying the neighborhood with slow scrolls, sipping a coffee while eating a croissant, and enjoying the moments of beauty and quiet.
