Exclusive dining
There’s nothing more stressful than trying to find a good place to eat with limited time between events – especially with a hungry toddler. Our travel partner has reserved exclusive use of five popular restaurants in Paris with different price points and cuisines, where customers can book lunch and dinner in advance. Curated menus at each restaurant include a choice of two to three appetizers, two to three entrees and a pair of wines for adults. The least expensive is 75 euros per person and the most expensive is 190 euros per person; Child rates are also available.
Opening ceremony
Instead of the vast stadiums and Parade of Nations that are the mainstay of most Olympic Games opening ceremonies, Paris will kick off the events in a unique way. For the 2024 Games, the opening ceremonies will be held along the Seine River, with athletes from each country riding in boats rather than marching en masse. Our partner has secured a number of different hospitality locations where guests can watch the festivities unfold, with variable rates and amenities, but the pinnacle is Ducasse sur Seine, the luxury lunch and dinner cruise run by Michelin-starred Chef Alain Ducasse. You will have a clear view either from your table on board or from the deck above. It’s unbelievable!
When and how to book
Booking sooner rather than later is crucial. Demand for the Summer Olympics usually starts to rise last November, and by the end of March, there are almost no tickets left. Popular events like dressage and gymnastics are already going fast, the latter spurred by Simone Biles’ breakout performance at the 2023 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships.
