Whats on the Agenda

Please note - everything is optional, you choose what you want to do and don’t want to do, at any time, because its not about the activities per say, its about being in Paris solo, living authentically like a local in a Petite B&B and meeting up with other solo first timers too for friendly fun moments when you want and need. This itinerary ensures there are group connection moments doing some fun Parisian things together too, but again you are free to participate in only what you want in the moment.

Tuesday March 24th:

• Arriving: Check into your Petite B&B and free time to explore your local neighbourhood if you arrive early - using your Petite local village walking itinerary.

• 8pm Welcome Dinner together at a Classic Bouillon Restaurant.

Wednesday March 25th:

• 10am Alvene’s 3 hr Group Arrival Orientation Service / Walk around le Marais with an iconic Bookshop visit (buy a novel to read later in solo pleasure at a cafe terrace like the Parisians do).

• 1pm Solo lunch and afternoon.

• 6pm Meet in the St Germain for a fun whirl through the city in 2 separate classic CV cars with Frederic and his wonderful drivers, for a tour of the major monuments, as well as secret little nooks. Starting at 5pm means we start in daylight and end with the twinkling lights of the city at night which is just magical. We will be dropped off in the St Germain.

• 8.15pm Dinner together in the St Germain-des-Pres at a ‘Petite favourite’ cozy family run Bistrot!

• OPTIONAL: A nightcap cocktail rooftop bar nearby the bistrot, OR or an underground live Jazz Venue, or go for a wonder around the magical streets of the St Germain for a Midnight in Paris dream!

Thursday March 26th

• Morning - Solo morning solitude to yourself! Or join Antonella and I at a YOGA Class followed by tea and maybe a little Astrology chat.

• 1.30pm Group Meet after lunchtime at the Louvre to do my FAVE thing ever together - stroll along the river banks where the Antiquarian book sellers are perusing (or purchasing if you wish) the rare out of print books, art and souvenirs, its such an iconic thing to do!

• 2pm Then lets jump on the Batobus together for a 2 hour loop cruise along the Seine passing all the beautiful monuments, with wine, nibblies, and each-other, we will watching the city go by! You are free to to jump off the boat at different points of interest of course, wherever you wish.

• 4pm A solo afternoon and evening to yourself. I’ll suggest a few wonderful musts-sees in Paris, and you choose what you want to do. Or you can simply retreat to your B&B to R&R. Enjoy a local solo bistrot dinner. Don't be intimidated to dine alone, this is an essential part of cracking the solo code! AND Feeling SOOO empowered! And remember you are amazing, everyone is probably wishing they could sit in strength alone in a foreign bistrot too! Admiring you!

Friday March 27th - An Artful Day

• 10am Solo Morning to yourself! Or join me for a little journalling cafe brunch moment.

• 11am I’m going to Montmartre Museum and anyone who wants to join me can hehe OR there are 2 other nearby Museums that are my absolute FAVE small museums in the entire city too! The group can split depending on preferences - and thats ok!

• 1.30pm Lunch and afternoon with your solo self! You may love to read or journal over lunch or just people watch - whatever you feel! Buy yourself a little gift to take home - a must to your self!

• 8pm Dinner at a wine bar in the village!

• 9pm Group night out to Lapin Agile Cabaret in Montmartre = the most FUN casual night out in Paris in the OLDEST cabaret in Paris. Its an impromptu lineup of singers, poets, comedians, musicians that will have us laughing and clapping away. OPTIONAL OTHER: Lets go to an art house cinema (my fave is also in Montmartre village) and try to learn French (or laugh at ourselves trying) over popcorn and wine and subtitles.
