While I’m busily planting gardens and prepping the flowerbeds for summer, I’m also looking forward to the France Christmas Markets Tour in December.

My company, A Paris Travel offers tours in France and Britain. My goal in these pages is to share my thoughts and ideas on traveling in France and Britain, the places where I arrange tours and other travel services.

I am Sue Lillie, President of A Paris Travel. I have been arranging travel to France and Britain since 1997. I was teaching French at the time and had taken a group of parents and students to Paris during Spring Break in 1996. That trip was organized by a large company that had been doing student tours for years. Upon my return, I realized that I could do what I had just done in the way of a tour and could do it much better. The rest is (as they say) "history" since while I continued to teach several more years, I did start A Paris Travel and organized my own group tours. Constrained by my teaching schedule, I could only travel at Spring Break and during summer. Then in 1999, I decided that I wanted to pursue a career as a full time tour operator and stopped teaching. This allowed me to make connections with outstanding France partners which in turn gave me knowledge, confidence, and resources to plan trips for individuals going to France on their own. Still, I continued escorting my own small groups and continue to do so. I've added the knowledge of and love for Britain travel to my travel website and look forward to helping many more new friends who find A Paris Travel on the web as they search for the best way to plan a trip to France and Britain.
I love Paris in the Springtime! So goes Cole Porter’s song first published in 1953. As HIGH season gets into full swing in Paris, I thought I’d add my thoughts about best HAUTE PARIS/UP HIGH VIEWS in Paris.
Just back from France and the highlight was my four days in Normandy. Yes, I’ve been to Normandy many times before, but this time it was with fellow travelers who hadn’t been there before. To see sites that I’d seen before through these fresh eyes was like seeing Normandy again for the first time. It was magical in every way.
