Question

I have never traveled to Europe, do you have any suggestions?

Answer

We suggest that you get at least two weeks out of your vacation. You have already made the trip, so why not enjoy? Our goal with planning our wedding in France is not only to share our special day with our closest friends and family, but also to invite you all to join us in our travels! We plan to fly into Paris roughly a week before the wedding and fly to Lyon on Thursday June 9th, 2023 for the wedding. In Paris, we will spend a day exploring museums such as the Louvre (to see the Mona Lisa), a day Loire Valley/Normandy (Castles and World War II), day in Champagne Region (popping bottles!), a day walking the streets of Paris on a walking food tour and of course— site seeing and Eiffel Tower! If you plan to join us in Paris a week before the wedding, please let us know by Jan. 15th, 2023. If you plan on doing your own thing, we still suggest you fly to Europe at least 4 days before the wedding to acclimate to the time change. We look forward to seeing you all.
