Our love of traveling the world both near and far inspires everything we do at The Paris House. From the floral designs we create for our brides, the cooking school we host, the design classes we teach, the photoshoots, and fashions we style in NYC and elsewhere, to the garden soirées we host and trips we plan and write about. We want to share with you the-off-the-beaten-path finds along with the more popular tourist attractions! From a great recipe we brought back from the Yucatán, to a private garden tour in Old San Juan, our favorite flower show in Philadelphia, Operas in NYC, the cutest little Easter rabbit hole up the road in the most charming village with lunch nearby at an historic Inn, to our favorite hotels in Prague and so much more. We have you covered!

It could be across the world or around the corner, from the smallest art gallery on a country drive, to shopping the Souks in The Kingdom of Bahrain. We live to travel, because to us, travel is life. Our monthly travel column will feature our picks of places we recommend, all of which we have been to and can recommend first hand. We hope you enjoy and thank you for reading!
