Come along with us as we explore Paris and beyond! This is a great trip for people who have "always wanted to go to Paris". And what better time? Notre Dame is re-opened and we will have a private guided tour. We will spend a day at Monet's Garden at Giverny. We have plans for a day at the La Bien Aimee pop up shop and another day with classes at Les Tricoteurs Volants yarn shop. Round out the itinerary with a visit to the Louvre and free time for shopping including the famous flea market and fashion district. Note: we plan to do quite a bit of walking or use mass transit in the city.

Mary Jeanne Packer, the founder of Battenkill Textile Tours LLC, has been leading groups of knitters and fiber enthusiasts on trips around the world (and around the corner) since 2006 when she put a small ad in the national knitting magazines to see if anyone might want to come and spend a few days knitting, wine tasting, and visiting fiber farms in the Finger Lakes; and 20 people signed up! Those first 20 said they would "like to go to Ireland sometime"; and the rest is history. Mary Jeanne is the founder and co-owner of Battenkill Fibers Carding and Spinning Mill in Greenwich, NY.
