WHY TRAVEL WITH US?
Atlas Adventures was designed as a way to facilitate meaningful travel while connecting with like-minded people. Not only do these trips eliminate the stress or planning typically required on your end, they also provide access to incredibly unique experiences that you couldn’t just plan on your own. Simply put, these trips show you the absolute best of a destination, guided by experts (in this case, Whitney, Rebecca & Jess), all while making authentic friendships with the other amazing women on the trip. Still not convinced? Read the testimonials from the girls who came on our last trip to see what they had to say!
WHERE WE’RE STAYING
Conveniently located just off the Grand Boulevards (yet cozily situated on a quiet side street), Hotel Adèle & Jules is a charming 4 Star Boutique Hotel that exudes Parisian charm. With decor thoughtfully chosen by interior designer Stéphane Poux, you’ll feel like you’re staying in a chic apartment in Paris… all while still benefiting from hotel amenities. All travelers on this trip will have breakfast included daily, as well as access to the gym, concierge, laundry services, honesty bar, room service and a complimentary tea time everyday from 4pm to 6pm.
*Rooms are priced at double occupancy (2 travelers per room), however single rooms are available upon request
WHAT WE’RE DOING
While you want the stress of planning left to us, we know you’ll want some free time to explore freely as well! Our itineraries are carefully crafted to give you a balance of the two each day. For example, one day we’ll guide you to Versailles for a bike tour and picnic lunch with the group, but then that evening you’ll be on your own to do dinner wherever you choose. Other days you’ll have mornings to yourself and then the group will come together for afternoon activities or dinners together. But don’t worry… even with the free time you’re given, our team is here to equip you with TONS of suggestions and additional opportunities to sign up for so you’re never short of things to do in the city of lights.
