You’ll Always Have Paris – Lockdown Special Offers!

I know that so many of you are missing Paris terribly and are dying to get back as soon as possible. The Covid-19 pandemic crisis has and will continue to hit businesses in tourism and hospitality very hard, especially small businesses. These will need a lot of support to survive and get through the crisis so it’s with this in mind that I’ve pulled together a collection of exclusive “You’ll Always Have Paris” special offers just for my readers! These include tours, classes and other activities offered by a talented pool of Paris-based entrepreneurs in the tourism, wellbeing and creative sectors. Some of these are virtual and can be done right now, others have flexible booking dates so you can apply the special offer as soon as travel is authorized once again. I’ve also included everyone’s social media links, so if you can’t come to Paris right away, you can stay connected. We are looking forward to seeing you again, hopefully soon, in Paris!
