“This is the thing about being in Paris. I always say that you can’t be inspired sitting at home alone by yourself. You have to go out into the world and see what people are doing, and that will trigger something else in you, and then you’ll do it your way. That’s exactly what Paris has done for me. It opened up a world I would have never had the opportunity to see or be inspired by. I get ideas about food, flowers, design architecture … everything.”
—Ina Garten
We suggest you arrive in Paris at least one day prior to start of your retreat.
