The countdown is until I embark on my Paris River Cruise. For the last year, I’ve dreamed of this European getaway on the Seine River. Now, it comes down to my Paris chic essentials list, of what to pack and how not to overpack.
According to AAA Travel, European River cruises continue to be a top vacation destination for Americans. It was a no-brainer for me to experience gliding along the Seine River to view city buildings and landmarks.
We chose AMA Waterways over the favored (and more well-known) Viking River Cruise because of its smaller, more intimate atmosphere of less than 200 adult people.
We also preferred the all-inclusive rates. The cruise includes accommodations, meals, snacks, daily excursions, Wi-Fi, onboard entertainment, and city transfers. There are a few added costs.
Last week, the hubby and I met with our AAA Travel Agent, where we reviewed all travel documents for our 10-day trip. Now, for the packing.
My Paris Chic Essentials List includes the following five easy pieces to pack:
1. Cape
2. Something Leopard
3. Cropped Denim Jeans
4. Striped Tee Shirt
5. Crossbody bag
The must-see stops include:
♦ Normandy beaches
◊ Eiffel Tower
♦ Monet’s Home and Gardens in Giverny
◊ Honfleur, a picturesque port
♦ Notre Dame Cathedral
One week before the trip, I will lay 8-9 outfits on my bed to ensure I have the appropriate accessories, a color theme to mix and match, and sensible shoes. I will work with my Paris chic essentials list for an outfit like the Eiffel Tower.
When traveling to someplace chic, how do you work out your wardrobe? Please do share.
Have a fabulous and stylish week.
Great read and I can’t wait for our trip! Your outfit is very chic!
Cynthia,
Hi! Thanks for stopping by The Age of Grace. Finally, after of year of thinking about our River Cruise, less than two weeks to see my favorite monument, the Eiffel Tower.
Hello! Your trip sounds amazing & I hope u have a wonderful time! I am loving every inch of yer outfit here, u look fabulous! My two cents for yer travel wardrobe is stick to basic capsule mode with color & choices but be sure to throw in a few extra scarves cuz they won’t weigh down yer luggage but it’ll give u some new looks to the basics & add some warmth and color to the wardrobe. Have a super trip, Bye, Cathy C.
Cathy,
Hi! Thank you for stopping by The Age of Grace. I appreciate your suggestion about adding scarves that won’t add weight to my suitcase. I need all the help I can get so not to overpack.
