Paris, France – September 6, 2018 – Wandering Native Collective is thrilled to partner with the Palos Verdes Art Center on a unique cultural experience in Paris, centered around an extraordinary day at Paris Photo, the largest international art fair dedicated to the photographic medium held each November in the historic Grand Palais. The trip, running November 7 – 11, 2018, will incorporate the best of French food, design, art, and culture.

Guests will be staying at an intimate Parisian hotel in the heart of Saint-Germain, close to cafés, restaurants, and the river Seine. Each private room is contemporary with a touch of French charm. Pricing includes accommodations, breakfast, lunch, and dinner, entrance, tour and VIP check-in to Paris Photo, all experiences, and transportation to all experiences.

On this four-day Parisian adventure, guests will explore Paris Photo, spend an evening learning about French wine and cheese pairings, enjoy an exquisite French dinner prepared by a private chef in his pied-à-terre home, learn elements of sketching the iconic city from a local Parisian artist, and visit the atelier of a milliner for Chanel to learn the art of hat-making.

Consistent with the French tradition, guests will experience only the best food, dining on dishes prepared by chefs who are wildly passionate about French cuisine and who are eager to share their love of food. Guests will discover why eating and drinking are not just a pastime in France, but a significant “way of life,” and experience firsthand that French meals are meant to be more than just food – they are a gathering and an appreciation of time spent together.
