My experience

This is Rachana's own 6-day itinerary for Paris, France — the version she'd plan for a close friend. It threads together stays she rates like Four Seasons Hotel George V Paris and Full, a day-by-day plan, and the meals worth booking ahead. Everything here is personally travelled and curated — no filler.
