Was it Audrey Hepburn who said, "Paris is always a good idea" and I would add, so is the Taste of Paris cooking tour.

ATOP was life-changing for me. I was able to see Paris in a way that I would have never been able to if I traveled on my own. Lorie put together an outstanding trip!

“As I reflect on all of the fabulous things we experienced, tasted and saw during our week with Lorie, it makes me realize even more what a remarkable trip Provence was. Every detail was planned and executed perfectly, and I tell myself almost daily how really fortunate I was to get that call from A.M. inviting me along!”
