It had been two decades since I truly spent quality time in Paris — and this city still manages to surprise and delight at every turn. As one of my biggest client destinations year after year, it felt important to dive in deeper, and I made it my mission to cover as much ground as possible in just four whirlwind days.



The result? A fast-paced, joy-filled itinerary that spanned hotel inspections, charming neighborhoods, stunning interiors, and even a fashion exhibition. Here’s a peek into my Paris adventure:



12 Full Hotel Site Inspections

Every property had its own distinct personality, from ultra-glamorous to quietly elegant. I visited and toured:

  • Le Meurice

  • La Réserve Paris

  • Plaza Athénée

  • Maison BARRIÈRE Le Fouquet’s

  • Ritz Paris

  • Four Seasons George V

  • Bvlgari Hotel Paris

  • Cheval Blanc Paris

  • Rosewood Hôtel de Crillon

  • Le Bristol Paris

  • Hôtel Lutetia

and back to Le Meurice and La Réserve to wrap it all up



These are all part of our Internova SELECT program — which means my clients enjoy exclusive perks like daily breakfast, hotel credits, room upgrades, and VIP status.

Two Iconic Churches

Notre-Dame (which just reopened its doors!) and Sacré-Cœur were spiritual and architectural highlights — and seeing them again was incredibly moving.

Neighborhood-Hopping

I explored Montparnasse, Le Marais, Place de la Concorde, Saint-Germain-des-Prés, the 8th arrondissement, and the Golden Triangle. Each area offers something special — whether it’s café culture, luxury shopping, or postcard-perfect Parisian charm.

A Dior Moment

The Galerie Dior fashion exhibition was a must-see for anyone who loves design, legacy, and sheer beauty.

And Of Course… Staircases

I have a soft spot for dramatic staircases — and Paris delivered. Every turn seemed to reveal another sweeping staircase or intricate bannister, perfect for daydreaming (or a quick photo op).


I left Paris feeling energized, inspired, and already planning my return. There’s still so much more to see and share — but for now, I’m excited to bring back firsthand insights and recommendations to help clients create their own unforgettable Paris moments.

Special thanks to Le Meurice, La Réserve, and The 1492 Company for the warmest hospitality.
