Day 1
Parisian Chic
Paris has been the epicenter of world fashion since the 18th century, from women’s clothing down to men’s shoes. There has always been something fascinating and stylish about the city and those who live there. Your France tour begins with your arrival at Charles de Gaulle Airport where your private transfer is waiting. Inside the city, you notice the elegant wide avenues with shady trees lining the sidewalks. Public squares become charming gardens adding lushness to stone-paved streets. Opulent Italians style palazzos decorate the cityscape, most notably near the Champs Elysees.
The aroma of freshly baked macaroons and decadent hot chocolate drift out of Cafe Angelina. Audrey Hepburn, a classic fashion icon in her own right, would sit in the café and sip hot chocolate looking out to the Tuileries Gardens. Images of the Golden Triangle, the city’s high fashion shopping district connecting Avenue Marceau, the Champs Elysees, and Avenue Montaigne, swirl in through your thoughts. The beauty of the city personifies the chic designs to come. Your hotel is the embodiment of glamor, allowing you to settle in quickly and luxuriously to the city.

From Parisian streets flush with designer shops to hidden boutique stores offering one of a kind garments hidden in the cobblestone alleyways of Milan. Step behind the scenes in the fashion capitals of Europe for a full experience, beginning with your arrival in Paris.
One of our Paris tour operators will arrange a private transfer to escort you to your opulent hotel. Your hotel emanates the lushness for which the city is known. The following day, you have the morning to yourself, absorbing the local fashion of passersby near the blossoming flowers and trees in the Tuileries Gardens. Your guide meets you at the hotel, whisking you away to a private apartment for a personalized fashion show of Paris’s fashion-forward sensibilities, followed by a sensational dinner at a restaurant overlooking the River Seine.
After breakfast, your guide meets you, eager to spend the day consulting with you on hair and makeup at a glamorous salon. Then, enjoy a shopping spree along the high-fashion boutiques of Avenue Montaigne. Once again, your guide meets you in the lobby of your hotel to lead you into the outer neighborhood of Paris where you find the Ateliers Hermes. Continue to the Palais Galliera in the afternoon for an introduction into the opulent history of style.
The next morning, you venture by private jet to Milan, the commercial capital of Italy, where you settle into a luxurious hotel near the heart of the city. Your guide takes you into the Italian Alps to explore the inspiring landscapes around Lake Como, where Gianni Versace once lived. In the evening, you continue the glamor taking in an opera at Milan’s historic Opera House. The wonders of the fashion world continue with a guided tour of the Golden Rectangle, a collection of streets in Milan lined with sensational designer shops, along with a variety of captivating boutiques around town.
