A bespoke experience for women who don't want to do Paris alone...

(Or just need a few days off from flying solo!)

Not because you can’t travel solo because you’re perfectly capable. But ... you'd rather not!

You're already exhausted by the thought of having to plan everything in advance. And then to be permanently “on” when you arrive. Like deciding where to eat, what to do, how to get there and somehow trying to stay safe throughout it all!

You don’t want to spend hours trawling through your many (many!) saved Instagram posts to try and book the best dinner spots. Or to then struggle with the metro late at night or have to talk yourself into even going out to eat, when you’re already brain dead from navigating your day.

You just want to arrive… and enjoy Paris.

And sure, you could join a group trip. But that's not what you want either is it? Trying to fit in with a group of strangers. The anxiety of keeping up and whether you're being too chatty or not chatty enough. You're so busy managing the group dynamic that you sometimes struggle to feel present and enjoy where you actually are.

You want what you can't seem to find. If only you had a friend that lived there already. Who knows where to go and where to avoid. Someone to feel SAFE with and to laugh and joke over dinner together. Someone who just 'gets you' and what you really want to see and do.

I've always travelled this way...

I look back on my travelling years and I realise something about myself. My favorite way to do it has ALWAYS been visiting friends in other countries. New York. Amsterdam. Porto. Melbourne. When I visit friends who actually live somewhere - that's when travel feels right. Not rushing around temples and ticking off activities just because everyone else is doing it. Not in the same way I traveled when I was younger.

Now I want to actually BE somewhere. To slow down. To drink coffee and eat pastries until it's time to graze on cheese and get tipsy on red wine. That's the vibe.

So … why don’t I offer that to others?

To show them Paris as a local. To not have to suffer the stressful tourist experience. To not be glued to their phone all day whilst worrying someone might pickpocket it!

To be held and hosted for a long weekend instead. To move at their own pace. To feel SAFE because I don’t take them anywhere I wouldn’t go alone. To enjoy company they feel comfortable in. To not have to think about what to see or where to eat or how to get around to see everything because …they have someone they TRUST doing all that for them for a change.

To let them leave their responsibilities at home and enjoy the magic of a city they’ve always been so excited to experience.

I’ve been in a long-distance relationship with Paris since 2021. I visit at least 4 times a year and we had a full blown affair in 2024, when I moved in for 2 months. Maybe it’s my efforts to speak her language now because...she’s finally agreed to make it official and I'm moving in May!

So I know how to do Paris in a way that FEELS like Paris and not a tourist trap hell!

I've got you xxx

So how would it work?

You make your own way to Paris by train or plane. You book your own accommodation (I'll help make sure you book the right kind of place and location). I pick you up from your hotel around midday on a Friday and then you can finally switch off your brain for 2 nights and 3 days.

Before you even pack your bag, we'll jump on a call. You'll tell me what lights you up - maybe it's art, maybe it's architecture, maybe it's just really good bread and people-watching. You'll also tell me what you couldn't care less about. And then you get to stop thinking about it. I'll take care of all the whens and hows (and any of your dietary requirements!) You just get to show up and be looked after.

Imagine this...

...wandering the Seine without checking your phone to see if you're going in the right direction. You're not deciding what to visit next. You're just... there. Actually present. Enjoying every second of it.

We'll go and see the Eiffel Tower and get that iconic snap. We'll admire the reopened Notre-Dame and we can climb the stairs for the view from the Sacre Coeur. But then we'll slip away from the crowds.

We'll find ourselves in the cutest café where the coffee is actually pretty great (rare in Paris, but I know where to go!) You'll bite into a pastry so good you'll close your eyes. We'll wander through a neighbourhood that feels like real Parisians live there - because they do! We'll laugh over an Aperol Spritz whilst people watching from the terrace. And and we'll 'mooch' in a few shops that you fancy having a nosey in.

Minimal queues. No tourist traps. No wondering if you should be seeing something better around the corner.

And when evening comes...

We'll enjoy long dinners eating incredible food and probably a glass or two too many of wine as well. This can be before of after an evening show ('The Crazy Horse' is a personal favourite!) We'll tuck ourselves into a cocktail bar or wine spot that you'd never find on your own. The kind of place where you feel like you've discovered a secret. Where you'll think, "This. This is exactly what I wanted Paris to feel like."

This Paris experience is slower. It's more intentional. It's about BEING somewhere and not just SEEING everything. And you'll feel safe enough to actually relax and enjoy yourself because someone else has your back.

Oh! And the EXTRA bonus? I'm a good photographer. So no coming home with akward selfies or photos you had to ask strangers to take - just beautiful shots of you actually living the Paris experience.

The woman I created this for...

The 'I don't want to do it alone' traveller

You’ve always wanted to see Paris but doing it alone puts you off. You've thought about a group trip but it feels too overwhelming and unflexible. It's not just about the safety thing either...you don't want to have to organise, plan and decide it all. You'd love to experience a city break that actually FEELS like a holiday. Not to be exhausted before you even start.

The 'I just want a few days off' traveller

Maybe you’re already solo travelling and want to break up a big Europe trip. And you'd love a few days to just REST! Where you don’t have to think, navigate, or figure anything out. Just exhale and turn your brain off. Or maybe you're spending longer in Paris but want to get your bearings first. (I also inlcude up to 7 days of WhatsApp support before/after our time together!)

The 'I want to EXPAND my life' traveller

Paris is the main pull but you also want to be around my energy. Maybe you're on the brink of some big changes or craving them. And you want someone who'll remind you how to choose your own happiness over everyone else's expectations. To spend time with someone who dreams BIG with you. A weekend to kickstart your own change in the magical 'City of Lights'.

This is for you if

You want Paris without the mental load of travelling alone and having to plan it all yourself.
You want ease, presence and to feel safe. To see the sights BUT... to also enjoy a slower travel experience.
You want great company to share dinners and drinks with.
You’d rather wander and linger at your own pace and not be herded around ticking tourist boxes.

This is not for you if

You want a packed sightseeing schedule.
You want a tour guide or a history lesson.
You want to hunt down all the Instagrammable photo spots and restaurants.
Seeing everything is more imprtant to you than BEING somewhere.

What's included?

This is a fully held Paris weekend where you’re not managing, planning, navigating, deciding, or doing it alone. For the entire weekend, you have me beside you, holding the shape of your experience so you can simply arrive and be here.

You have me as your private host from Friday afternoon through to Sunday after lunch ( that's roughly 25 hours.)
A pre-trip planning call (30-45 minutes) so I can plan your perfect weekend. This is where I get to know what you love (and hate!) It could be anything from modern art to drinking aperol spritz in the sunshine.
Recommendations for which arrondisment to stay in, based on what you've told me in our call together and what part of Paris I think you'd be most suited to.
A flexible itinerary that will be sent to you two weeks before. Not a rigid schedule, just the peace of mind that your precious time in Paris is being spent in the best way possible. You're free to request changes to anything you want to add/remove.
All restaurant and bar reservations are handled by me.
All metro passes and transport is organised and paid for by me.
I'm also a photographer who will capture your weekend and a selection of the best images will be shared with you in a private Google Drive.
Up to 7 days of WhatsApp support outside of our time together and if you’re spending some time in the city solo.

What's NOT included?

Your flights/trains to/from Paris
Your accommodation
Food + Drink - We eat meals together and stop for drinks, coffees etc but we split the bill like friends do – you pay for yours, I pay for mine.
Airport/station pickup by me (but you can add this on if you like)
Any activities or entry fees (but these can be added on after our pre-trip planning call so I can get anything booked that needs reserving!)

What will it cost?

The full investment for your private Paris weekend with me is -

€1,555

This covers your entire hosted experience — from our pre-trip planning call, to your personalised itinerary and being held in the city from Friday afternoon through to Sunday after lunch.

BUT!

For the first 5 women who book, the investment is

€1,111

After those places are filled, the price will be €1,555

Dates are completely flexible and we'll find a weekend or week days that works for both of us.

A €300 non-refundable deposit secures your chosen dates and the remaining balance can be paid in full or via a payment plan.

Next steps? Let's have a chat!

If you're thinking ..."oh my god this is exactly what I've been looking for!" then the next step is to book a call with me. This isn’t a sales call, it’s a no pressure conversation. A chance for you to meet me, ask all your questions and check that a weekend like this feels aligned and what you're looking for.

Because this is a private, one-to-one experience, I’m intentional about who I host.
Not every person is a fit and that’s part of what makes this what it is.

And if it feels right on both sides... we’ll look at dates and take next steps from there!

This is your chance to finally have the Paris experience you've been dreaming about - without the overwhelm - without the loneliness - without the exhaustion of doing it all yourself. Just you, Paris and someone who wants you to fall in love with her favourite city too.

Book your call here!

Add me to the list

Not sure yet? That’s okay too. 'Paris with Lindsey' isn’t a typical trip and it’s not something you've probably heard of before either. So the 'list' is for women who are intrigued... but not quite ready to say yes. To stay connected and curious and to not forget about it. I share regular emails about doing Paris 'the other way', along with quiet recommendations and first access to new dates or offers.

Who am I to host you?

I’m not a tour guide, and this isn’t a sightseeing schedule.

It’s about spending time in Paris with someone who already knows the city and knows how to show you the best of her.

I'm 39, I've nearly always been single and I'm a childfree by choice dog mumma.

I'm a millenial who's throwing away the rulebook of what life 'should' look like by now in pursuit of what makes me feel the most alive.

I'm British so English-speaking (and very fluent in sarcasm!) I’ve spent a LOT of my life travelling and living abroad and inevitably hosted lots of friends who visited. Sydney. Singapore. London.

I’ve spent YEARS working in travel and most recently, cordinating events. So while the days feel easy and unstructured, everything is properly organised (and safe!) behind the scenes.

Where Paris brings the magic... I make it easier for you to truly enjoy it.

If you want to get a better sense of who I am then check out my Instagram or Substack. I'm pretty open about my life, my choices, and the way I see the world.

FAQ's

For any other questions , you can email me (hello.pariswithlindsey@gmail.com)

How do I secure my dates?

Your dates are secured with a non-refundable deposit. It doesn’t have to be a weekend and I'm open to longer experiences, which we can discuss over a call.

Can I come with a friend?

Yes! If you and your friend both want to enjoy my held experience then I just ask for an additional supplement to hold the energy and expectations of the additional person.

Deposit payments are non-refundable as are any up-front costs I have had to make for reservations etc. In certain circumstances, I may be able to reschedule your dates, but this is not guaranteed and is at my discretion.

Do I need travel insurance?

Yes. Travel insurance is required and should cover medical care, trip interruption, and cancellations.

Is this a coaching retreat or personal development experience?

This isn’t coaching or therapy, and there’s no pressure to share anything that you're not comfortable to share with me.

Because this is a bespoke experience, there’s room for individual needs and preferences. If you have any questions or want to check whether something is possible, please feel free to reach out by email or book a call with me
