Gabrielle (Coco) Chanel’s story is an eternal source of inspiration and fascination, ever since the founding of her first shop on the rue Cambon in 1910. Trained as a seamstress by nuns at the orphanage where she was abandoned by her father, an itinerant peddler, Chanel reinvented herself through her talent, beauty and iconic style sense. The Chanel collection of clothing, perfume, and accessories is an unparalleled fashion empire. Chanel’s conviction that “simplicity is the keynote of all true elegance,” imbued her chic suits and creation of the little black dress. But her life included a brief career as a cabaret singer, affairs with Nazis and a self-imposed, post-war exile in Switzerland until her triumphant return at the age of 70 to face off with rival Dior’s New Look. Find out all this and more while we walk in her footsteps in the elegant Place Vendôme area, visiting the Chanel flagship store and ending, if you wish, with tea at the Ritz, where Mademoiselle lived. [2- hour private tour, includes hotel pickup.]

The Château de Fontainebleau, just 35 miles southeast of central Paris, can proudly claim to have been a sovereign residence for eight centuries. Capétiens, Valois, Bourbons, Bonaparte and Orléans, all members of French ruling dynasties, have lived within these walls. The chateau dates back to 1137—and centuries of royals have expanded this former royal hunting lodge to a more than 1,500-room estate. Most of what you’ll see dates back to the 16th century, a combination of Italian Renaissance art and French design, these rooms are some of the most intricate and breathtaking in France. If times allows, you can enjoy lunch in this charming area.
