Day Trips from Paris
I am Flora Goldenberg, Tour guide in Paris.
I made a simple list of the possible trips, by car in France, departing from Paris, with a professional Driver.
Here are my best recommendations, sorted below in order of what you “should see” according to me.
If you have some time to spare in Paris, my driver can come pick ou up at your hotel and take you on an easy comfortable journey to discover France country
All my round-trips include pick-up and drop at your hotel.
The driver is Samuel, he is careful, safe and very polite.
He drives professionaly and holds VTC license and a Taxi license.
He owns Mercedes cars. I noticed that his cars are always clean, comfortable and roomy and very well equipped.
Please ask me your questions and I will answer you by email : flora.goldenberg@gmail.com or use my contact information here
