Enchanting Paris with Laura Caldwell & Left Coast Revivals
Sep 17, 2026 - Sep 23, 2026
Paris has long been a dream destination for lovers of history, art, and style, and our specially curated journey goes far beyond the typical tourist trail. Designed in partnership with Laura and Jesse from Left Coast Revivals, this itinerary combines iconic Parisian highlights with their unique flair for vintage shopping and hidden treasures. It’s the perfect mix of cultural exploration, flea market discoveries, and unforgettable shared experiences in the City of Light.
After the huge success of our sold-out 2024 Paris adventure, we are thrilled to return with a brand-new program that’s even more immersive and inspiring. Guests raved about the balance of free time and guided activities, the insider access to vintage markets, and the chance to experience Paris alongside fellow travelers who share a passion for design, history, and discovery. Building on that momentum, this trip has been refined to include even more of the experiences you loved most – plus a few special surprises along the way.
From the grandeur of Versailles to the colorful buzz of Parisian flea markets, and from leisurely café moments to sparkling nights along the Seine, every day is designed to inspire. With Laura and Jesse as your hosts, you’ll enjoy expert guidance, insider tips, and a warm community feel that makes traveling together so rewarding. Whether it’s your first time in Paris or a long-awaited return, this journey promises to be a memorable celebration of the city’s timeless charm.
