Do you dream about going to France?
Wouldn't you love to visit Paris?
Do you dream of shopping the brocantes/flea markets and finding wonderful vintage linens like these?
Or finding a collection of these?
How about finding a wonderful chippy iron day bed like this?
And seeing places like this?
Well, if you are a blogger and have this dream it can come true this year.
My friend and fellow blogger Kimberly Hites is hosting a fantastic trip to France to see the French countryside from Paris to Normandy and to shop, shop, shop.
All the details are on her blog La belle Epoque. You can scroll down her page and click on the brochure information. The price can't be beat for what is included and for a whole week.
I'm saving and going and sure hope we can get a few more to join us.

Kim, I've always dreamed of taking my daughter to Paris...I haven't been able to make it but am so glad that she has. When she was in high school, her best friend's parents invited her to join them in a European tour. It was the trip of a lifetime. She and her best friend had a memorable time and I didn't worry because her friend's parents were there with them the whole time. And best part...it didn't cost her (or me) a dime, her best friend's parents paid for the entire trip, I will be forever grateful that they did that for her and she got to see not only Paris, but most of Europe. Thanks for sharing this post, I will check it out.

What a wonderful opportunity! You'll love it Kim - I used to go every year for business ( until 3 years ago ) and miss it like I can't tell you!!!
The only suggestion I am going to give you - and one I give everyone who is going - is you must eat one night at the L'entrecote!!!!
Hugs,
Suzan
I sooooo want to do this, Kim! Too much on our financial plate this year, though -- maybe next year! I'll have to live vicariously through you and Shirley. :)

I love Paris.. I dream of living there..I can only dream of the shopping lol
How amazing!!! If it weren't for our kitchen Reno, I would sign up forsure. I hope they do this again next year!!!
That would be so much fun...I would love to go antiquing in France!
Oh my goodness! What a fabulous trip that will be! You are going to have an amazing time. It's nice that this is well organized and planned out so you won't miss a thing.
Oh Kim, you will love France. I spent 10 days there and really enjoyed it.....Take lots of photos and large luggage so you can stash your purchases in it!
Good for you! I recently traveled to Europe for the first time...2 weeks in Italy...being a small town girl, we spent a bit of time in Rome and Venice, but also visited small towns in Tuscany and on the coast. We spent three days on the Amalfi Coast in a tiny fishing village population 900. We stayed in an old house built into the cliffs overlooking the sea. It was like a step back in time. I loved seeing the authentic daily life in the small towns. I would love to do a similar trip in France. For what it's worth, I think venturing off the beaten path makes for an amazing experience. Can NOT wait to hear more details.

Oh, how I wish! Can't wait to see your pictures and hear about your adventure!
What a wonderful time you will have!!! How exciting!! I love all the markets in the Olde World, so much charm!!! I shipped most of my purchases back home, not enough room in my suitcases!!!
I checked it out and looks amazing! Would love to go it hubs says we could swing it!
Sounds like fun but I could never fly that far. I will never get across the pond:)
Big on my bucket list, Kim! What fun fun fun!
I will for sure check out her blog , I like seeing what others get to see first hand in Paris
Not my cup of tea, but I don't enjoy shopping as much as you. I'm sure it will be beautiful and as someone else mentioned, I'd be one to venture off the beaten path. It would be a trip I'd rather do with hubby though. I'll just buy off ebay LOL. The food, I am sure, will be divine!

Oh- Kim- You gals are going to have so much fun! If we didn't have so much going on and going to be selling the house I would LOVE to go. You must be over-the-moon excited- xo Diana
You are just going to love it! And you'll want to go back almost immediately!
Kim,
This looks like a fabulous trip! Is it your first time to Paris? I have been going for over 30 years and I enjoy it more and more each time.
I hope you have a fabulous time!!!! YOu may want to stay away from the antique mall because my dear you are not going to beleive all of the fabulous stuff you will find!
Maybe I could win the Lottery and get to come!;)
