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!

What’s so great about owning a naughty Paris coffee mug?
These cheeky coffee mugs feature charming and witty phrases using French and English words guaranteed to add a dose of humour and “joie de vivre” (joy of life) to your morning routine.
Drinking from one is sure to result in an immediate smile, or even a good chuckle – and you don’t want to miss out on THAT! :-)
Comments from Happy Coffee Mug Owners:
“Sipping from my cheeky mug never fails to start my morning off with a smile. The charming sayings and witty phrases are a delightful pick-me-up to go along with my coffee.”
“Each time I use my hilarious coffee mug, I’m reminded of my fabulous friend who gave me this gift – they know I love Paris, they know I am naughty, and their ability to find such a ‘me’ present is why I adore them!”
“Even on the most hectic days, grabbing my favourite cheeky Frenchified mug full of amazing rich flavourful latte made with Italian robusta coffee beans helps me keep perspective (with a smile and a laugh). I might have bought this for myself, but it feels like having a certain someone’s playful sense of humor right there with me.”
“What a clever way to spread laughter! This was the perfect surprise gift from a dear friend, and I’m still laughing every time I look at it! I’ll have to pay the cleverness forward by finding an even better, clever gift to make my friend laugh too!”
“The daily dose of irreverence from my coffee mug’s quips infuses my routine with unexpected laughter. Using it brings me spontaneous grins whenever I need them most. Its charm and cheekiness never fail to hit the spot!”

Are you heading to Paris for a special occasion but don’t have the budget to buy something fabulous and fashionable to wear on your special day?
Don’t despair!
I can’t guarantee you’ll find clothing to fit, but I can offer some suggestions:
rent something before you leave home and head to Paris; depending on the length of your stay, this might be a cost-effective solution if you’re only going for a few days
check out the Plus Size stores in Paris – ONLINE – and look for the “sales” (called “SOLDES” in French); you may find something suitable so contact the store via email or social, and start a conversation. You’ll be able to book and pay online – but I’d rather pay a small deposit until I could try something on in my hotel room or their store in Paris. Sign up for the Newsletters for each site so you’ll know when the Sales are on.
