Navigate like a Native: An NYC savvy take on a City of Lights escapade

Be a Traveler NOT a Tourist. Explore the gems of the City through the eyes of an expert. Gain an insider’s scoop on how to: communicate, navigate, eat, shop, party, gallery hop, and blend in like a boss on that too-long-prolonged Paris holiday.

LFBK head teacher: Emile Bertherat – French Native and 20 + years Paris resident has explored, caroused and dined in all the best known, lesser known, not-to-miss, definitely-avoid, hippest, over and underexposed spots the City of Lights has to offer.

This workshop will leave you 100% prepared to take on Paris. A fast-moving three-hour tour leaves both someday and soon-to-be vacationers set with:

• Enough French Language education to deftly and accurately eat, shop, commute, and begin to communicate in French-worth finesse 
• About town and out of town trekking how-to,
• Only-a-local would know sightseeing intel – the hot spots and the secret spots,
• Dining tips and tasty leads,
• Where to stay – find a palace at pauper’s price,
• Underground expertise – the best way to better the subway,
• Regional day trips: Wine country, country-country via car or tram,
• Urban and surrounding topographical temptations,
• Shop-a-holic sensations – a boutique brush up, and more!
