Here is my
friend SABINE, an experienced and passionate private guide...
Whether you visit France for the first
time or not, if you want to really enjoy and feel the authentic French « art de
vivre », SABINE, an experienced Parisian guide, will introduce you to the beauty,
culture and art of Paris, Ile-de-France and province. In her comfortable
air-conditioned minibus she will adapt your wishes, go at your own pace and
comment on all the sites.
On the very first minutes you set your
foot on the French soil SABINE will meet you right after the landing of your
plane. Instead of feeling lost in an unknown country, you will find a smiling
friendly companion who will liberate you from any practical worry.

Wonderful! We met Sabine through Isabelle's website, what
a gold mine of information! Sabine took us through the beautiful
country side & to the Chateau Breteuil (we even met the Marquis
and took pictures with him). Chevreuse is the place I want to
live! Sabine took us to her favorite Bakery and then it was back
to her house to enjoy pastry in her beautiful backyard and
metting Francois her husband what a treat. My Husband and I
spent our 25th and now our 26th Wedding Anniversary in Paris,
and if I have my way we will return to Europe each year.
Isabelle is the first person I will contact! Renting one of her
apartments is the only way to go and I can't wait to do it again!
Tania, Abdel, Sabine, and Isabelle can make your trip and stay
wonderful, easy, and leave you with the disere to return. Thanks
to all of you!Sincerely, Steve & Sandy Hartin, Terry & Jane
