Paris 20k

Please Note: Dates are tentative until we receive confirmation from the race organizers of the race date.  Please do not make flight arrangements until the date is confirmed!

We love Paris!  Paris has many must-see sights, but it also has so much more for those of us who like to immerse ourselves in the neighborhood culture.

If this is your first visit to Paris, we will give you time to visit some of the iconic landmarks: impressionist art at the Musee d’Orsay, Monet’s Water Lilies at the Musée de l’Orangerie, the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre… the list goes on and on.

But, we will also slow down and give you a feel of the “real” Paris – cute neighborhood shops, the many parks and gardens where you can just relax with a baguette for lunch, or the outdoor cafe where you can sit with a glass of rosé and just watch Parisian life go by.

Some of the highlights of this tour^*:

We will be spending a fantastic day in Champagne.  We’ll start by making a short stop at the Reims Cathedral – a breath-taking gothic-style cathedral where the kings of France have been crowned since 1027.  Then, we will continue to a private tour of a well-known Champagne house, a private lunch at a Champagne producer’s villa, and finally, we will taste some more Champagne with small, family-run producer.

We have a delicious, private wine-tasting dinner planned.  We will be pairing French wine with a multi-course meal, all while picking the brain of our host and sommelier!

We have two “neighborhood tours” on tap.  We’ll explore the “locals” Paris with our guide and learn the history and “hidden gems” of each neighborhood.  We will find delightful shops, quaint restaurants and open-air markets which will make Paris feel like your local hangout.

The Race:

The Paris 20k is a classic! We will start under the Eiffel Tower and run along the Seine River, around the “Bois de Boulogne,” and past many of most famous landmarks in Paris.  This is a great way to see this amazing city in a new way while exploring it with thousands of Parisians.
