Rates Coming Down - FAST

Euro at lowest point to $US in since 1.5 years! Falling below the 1.30 mark for $US marks a nearly 20% drop in 3 months. We have therefore lowered rates on a number of our Paris services. Airport transfers that were recently as much as $111US for 2 persons are now $95US. Paris day tours are also much lower. (This is for all November and later travel bookings as everything through October is already paid at previous high rates. )

Museum and metro passes will also start coming down once we reduce inventory purchased at higher rates.

NOTE about vouchers for metro passes: the Gare du Nord location that used to issue the actual tickets to voucher holders will no longer provide this service. There are other locations still available to exchange vouchers. If you are holding a Gare du Nord exchange voucher, contact us to get an alternative location.

Hotel Deal:

Louvre Montana (Emeraude hotel) - 1st Arrondissement - in the heart of Paris
Very nice 3 star hotel, rated very highly by guests, is now offering rates in November from 149 euros per night for a double room. Within walking distance is the Louvre, Opera, Hotel de Ville, Musee d'Orsay, and the Grand Magasins for excellent pre-holiday shopping.
