Over 40s Lazy Adventure in Paris 2024

Join me for the Over 40s Lazy Adventure in Paris

This Over 40s Lazy Adventure in Paris is for people who don’t want to rush around Paris like mad tourists — hot, tired, exhausted – and looking to get away from other tourists.

2024 — Dates: September – October (to be confirmed)

Here’s the scenario:

You want to visit Paris but you don’t feel like buzzing from tourist attraction to tourist attraction, constantly travelling on public transport, getting sore feet with all the constant walking, getting jostled in the crowds, perhaps even feeling out of place.

This is my daydream of being in Paris, spanning a couple of days:

  • be met by a mini-bus at the airport who’ll take you to your hotel
  • enjoy a Champagne Cruise on the River Seine the first night, and a Welcome Dinner in a delightful restaurant
  • have late breakfasts
  • do a bit of shopping
  • have morning and afternoon teas in cute French tea salons
  • maybe see a movie or wander down a delightful street in “hidden Paris” far from the tourist crowd
  • take a barge cruise under and around Paris for a couple of hours
  • drop into a pub you’ve walking past in the afternoons for a refreshing beer, glass of wine or a cocktail
  • and then have a lovely dinner with lots of laughter whilst getting to know the other people sharing the same adventure
  • on the last evening we’ll have a celebratory Farewell Dinner
  • after breakfast the next morning, you’re free to use the Airport Bus already arranged for you, or head off to more adventures of your own.

Sound like the type of relaxing break you’d like?

We’ll do a smaller version of this dream :-)

Please note:

  • there will be no visits to the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre or any other tourist destination
  • there will be no standing in queues for any touristy thing – ever, ok?
  • there will be no running, rushing or being out of breath
  • there will be no stressful metro, instead we’ll use buses and taxis, barges and boats
  • there will be lazy walking, strolling, sitting in lots of cafes and restaurants, enjoyable laughter and a general sense of well-being all-round – are you ready for that?
  • Good, now let’s have some lazy fun!
