The best decision we ever made during our two week trip to France was to sign up for the Unique Paris service! My husband and I were traveling with our two college age sons. Carine was our concierge and was just amazing! We decided to leave Tignes a day early and asked Carine for a recommendation on a place to stop midway from Tignes to Paris. Not only did she have the perfect suggestion, but made reservations for us at a gorgeous hotel allowing us to spend a lovely night in Beaune. We arrived in Paris the next day and Carine had everything we had asked for already arranged. She and I had chatted via email prior to our arrival, allowing us to discuss budget and create an itinerary for the three full days we would be in Paris. Our first full day in Paris we took a walking tour of the highlights of the city with a guide, who was lovely and filled with interesting information. Carine had already arranged for our tickets to the Eiffel Tower so we did not have to wait in a long line (and it looked very long!). Later that day we spent 2 hours with the same guide in the Lourve (again, Carine had pre-arranged tickets, avoiding a long wait in line). The second day we went to Versailles. Carine had arranged a driver to bring us there and return us to Paris. That afternoon, we took a private chocolate and pastry tour of Paris with Carine as our guide. That tour was fantastic! So much fun for our family to learn a bit of the background of these Parisian goodies and more fun to taste all the samples Carine provided at the various locations! After the tour I wanted to do a bit of shopping. I was looking for a specific purse while in Paris and sadly the shop did not have any in stock. I casually mentioned it to Carine, just in conversation. On her own initiative, she phoned every single branch of this store in Paris to see if she could locate this bag for me! Our sons decided they wanted to experience dining at a Michelin starred restaurant while in Paris and Carine not only made many suggestions but then, after we chose one, made the reservations, arranged for jackets to be waiting for the men (we were not prepared at all for that) and most important, informed them of my husband's shellfish allergy in advance. The third day we just wanted to wander on our own but Carine stayed in touch with us that day, assisted us in returning our rental car and arranged for a driver to take us to the airport the next day. While we sat in the airport the following day waiting for our flight, Carine phoned to check in and make sure there were no issues getting to the airport. From start to finish, our experience with Unique Paris was absolute perfection! We will definitely use this service each time we visit Paris. I wholeheartedly recommend it! read more
