Located on Montaigne Avenue, the Dior Gallery is a stunning walk through experience through…read moreChristian Dior's journey and designs across the years. Tucked amongst the buildings on the street, it's almost hard to believe how large the gallery is on the inside as there is so much to see from dresses to accessories to magazines and more. Upon entering, the exhibition starts at the top floor, where you make your way through the building and steadily downwards on a journey through time. This is a fun experience for those who love fashion, history, and art, but there is truly much to appreciate for someone coming in with no prior knowledge or expectation. This gallery is extensive and they change out the pieces periodically, so there's a lot of re-visit value. The gallery goes beyond fashion and has moments discussing Christian Dior's personal life, the building itself, and how the Dior name continues to thrive in modern-day couture. At the end of the gallery they have their own Dior Le Café, which carries both drinks and food, and a mini gift shop section. I found it a great spot to relax and rechage. *Lucky Sando en trio: This trio of sandwhiches was delicious and larger than expected for a tea-time-style snack. The egg-mayonnaise was moist and flavorful, tasting as expected. I enjoyed the smoked salmon and cucumber one which provided a refreshing and cooler-tasting sandwich. The chicken with spices was the most unique one of the three. It had tumeric and other spices that made it stand out. It held the most umami. *Caesar salad with Chicken: This dish was crafted together at table-side which was both unexpected and lovely to experience! I appreciated the different toppings to what I thought was going to be a generic salad, and the overall outcome was very vibrant. The chicken itself is a fully seasoned and cooked fillet, making this dish very filling. *Chocolate Chaud: This is my favorite drink in France, and ordering it here was no different. Deeply rich and made with heavy cream and dark chocolate, chocolate chaud tastes like drinking liquid chocolate straight from a pot. Generally, you can purchase tickets online for a specific date and time with full price being 16 EUR, though there are discounted options available. You can also try your hand for a walk-in visit, though the line can get rather long. I was fortunate enough to enter for free and without a wait, which I am extremely grateful to the team for!

However, totally worth it and wish I'd ordered more.

Exactly at 0800 our guide, Quentin, arrived at our hotel with our driver in a new Porsche Panamera sedan for our trip to Versailles. Quentin was personable, friendly, and a wealth of information about Versailles. He handled all the arrangements and escorted us throughout virtually all of the accessible areas of the palace. He had also arranged for our lunch at Ducasse (yes, an Alain Ducasse restaurant located within the Versailles palace - see separate review of the restaurant, under Ore - Ducasse au Chateau de Versailles - spoiler - very, very good). Quentin had an amazing range of knowledge about the palace and about the furnishings and artwork throughout. He was highly informative without overloading us with too much detail, and where appropriate, he simply got us to another amazing location and let us look around for ourselves. His special guide permit allowed him (and us) to enter many of the rooms that require separate tickets to enter, and we bypassed some bunches of visitors through doors only accessible by licensed Versailles guides. We visited on a cold January day (high was 40F that day) and that kept the crowds away. Quentin kept exclaiming that he had never seen so few visitors in Versailles. That was great for us, as we never felt crowded and in fact were all by ourselves in some of the rooms of the palace. Following a great lunch, Quentin escorted us to the Petite Trianon and to the fantasy village built for Marie Antoinette. Quentin pointed out how the palace, the Parc de Versailles, the landscaping were all carefully designed to awe visitors. Most visitors would never know how the hill that leads from the palace down to the statute of Apollo is designed to trick the eye and make new surprising vistas appear as you progress. Or how the lake was designed to make it feel much longer and farther through subtle engineering. We also would never have known all the inside meta-symbology is spread throughout the palace and the art. All the associations with Apollo for Louis XIV (the "Sun King") hidden within the columns, wall and ceiling decorations mean a lot more when you know why they are designed that way. After a full day of Versailles palace, Petit Trianon, and Marie Antoinette's fantasy village, we were glad to see our driver waiting for us on a street right next to the fantasy village, so we didn't need to hike a mile back to the palace parking areas. We had a nice ride back to our hotel. Highly recommended - we had an exceptional time. Quentin was a wonderful tour guide, and we appreciated his excellent English and encyclopedic knowledge of Versailles and the history of the French aristocracy.

I look forward to returning someday to see the restored structure. I am also reminded of a review that is long overdue. My wife and I went to Paris from the United States for the first time but were only able to visit for three days. Because of the short visit, we wished to see as many of the famous Parisian sites as possible. We arranged for a day of sightseeing to visit the Louvre, the Eifel Tour and Notre Dame Cathedral. Our personal tour guide for the day was Sylvanie. You could not ask for a more personable and knowledgeable escort for our journey. Sylvanie was absolutely amazing in her knowledge of everything Parisian as well of her intimate knowledge of the tourist locations. Not only was Sylvanie able to intelligently answer my wife's (who has studied art) questions, she was able to also answer my (no art history what-so-ever) relative simple questions. When I ask why the Mona Lisa is such a popular painting when there are so many more beautiful works in the Louvre, she tells the complete history of exactly why the painting is such a tourist draw (Actually quite an interesting story. You should ask her). When my wife asks about the painting on the opposite wall, the Feast at Cana, Sylvanie doesn't miss a beat and has a vivid story about how France came into possession of this work of art. Our trip to the Notre Dame Cathedral was equally impressive. Her knowledge of the art and history of the cathedral was astounding. I have been remembering quite a lot of my time at the cathedral as I have been watching the news reports of the fire. My wife and I were able to understand so much more of the history through Sylvanie's stories than had we simply gone on our own. Everything about our day was perfectly planned by Sylvanie and was executed seamlessly. She had arranged for car service for us and each time the car arrived shortly after our exit at each location. Our admission to each attraction was pre-purchased by Sylvanie prior to our arrival and we simply followed her into each location and felt like VIPs. It is obvious that Sylvanie worked hard prior to our arrival to make sure that our day was perfect. That sort of perfection does not come easily. My wife and I simply fell in love with Paris and will be returning soon. When we return, we will definitely use Sylvanie's services again. We could not have asked for a more perfect day and her fees were actually quite reasonable. We had a private tour with a lovely extremely knowledgeable tour guide for what it would otherwise cost for a group tour. I would recommend her to anybody wishing to see the sites Paris has to offer.
