Remember when I went to Paris and spent the morning at a 19th century atelier where they make the silk flowers that couturiers use to adorn their dresses?
Wow this sounds absolutely fabulous & what a super idea! Just wondered if there was any option of joining just for the Paris 5 days to make it a little shorter & more affordable?
What a wonderful idea! I've just finished Madeline Martin's The Librarian Spy and loved it! I want to read more of her books (I have read most of yours, Natasha)
This sounds amazing, myself and my mum meet you at one of your library Q&A’s. We have been researching tours of Paris for my 40th and this would be perfect with a trip to Lisbon.
We have submitted our interest online with the travel agency, looking forward to hearing back from them and securing our spot.
Wow! This is beyond dreamy. Seeing the sights through the lens of two heavenly authors feels too good to be true. Thanks for the offer and heads up. xoxo
Natasha this sounds amazing and having read all your books except for your latest, but on my tbr pile, I'd love to join you and Madeline on this tailor made tour.
I'm sure we'd be travelling with like minded people, so I would be comfortable to come as a solo for this trip.
Love the itinerary and I have Madeline's books on my tbr pile as well for the Lisbon leg.
Hi Leanne, wonderful! Yes, it will be a group of people who love books and travel and Paris so definitely come along solo. It’s going to be fun! I hope Dilya at the travel agency has been able to help you.
I love that authors are doing things like this too - hopefully it should make it a rewarding tour for everyone! Hope you have a lovely Easter break too.
Hi Andrea, I’m pretty sure the price shown would be in US dollars unless the website does that thing where it automatically converts the price to your local currency like some websites do. Definitely get in touch with dilya@johnshorstravel.com with both that question and your question re the 5 night option as she will be able to help you with all of that.
Hi Natasha, so I’ve been in touch with Dilya who got back to me quickly & it is a US dollar price shown & also - sadly - it isn’t possible to split the trip (she said this was ‘part of our agreement with our author partners’). I’m sure others would also be interested in a shorter (even an intensive 3 day mini-break version?), more affordable trip though, so do please consider this & if not possible now, for the future? Thanks, Andrea
I'm not sure that it will be an option because I think the tour company works on the basis that the package is for the whole tour. I'm so sorry about that!
Yes, no more than 30 people, I understand. I think there are mostly around 20 people on the tours, and we might split into two groups for some of the sights, with each group of 10 having an author with them, so that you get to spend quality time with each of us. I hope that helps, but definitely email dilya@johnshorstravel.com if you’d like more info about this.

Madeline is a wonderful writer and a lovely person too!

Mel and Jackie xo :)
Amazing!! I would love to have you both along on the tour - and what an incredible way to celebrate your 40th birthday! How exciting!

I truly can't wait - I think it's going to be a very special tour.

Hi Leanne, wonderful! Yes, it will be a group of people who love books and travel and Paris so definitely come along solo. It’s going to be fun! I hope Dilya at the travel agency has been able to help you.
I’ll get in touch with her this week. Thanks again Natasha. So excited!
Wow! What a fabulous trip, Natasha. And with Madeline too, another fabulous author.
I love how this is becoming a thing! Authors leading organised trips.
I can't make this one and I will follow it with much interest (and perhaps envy!) on social media.
Happy Easter and hope you're able to get some time recuperating with your family in Perth and beach home!
Much love x
I love that authors are doing things like this too - hopefully it should make it a rewarding tour for everyone! Hope you have a lovely Easter break too.
It'll be fabulous for a reader, Natasha.
And is the price shown in Australian or US dollars?

I second this !!!
I also reached out about a 'Paris only' registration & would be quick to purchase if that becomes an option !!!
I'm not sure that it will be an option because I think the tour company works on the basis that the package is for the whole tour. I'm so sorry about that!
Are there maximum numbers for this trip?
Yes, no more than 30 people, I understand. I think there are mostly around 20 people on the tours, and we might split into two groups for some of the sights, with each group of 10 having an author with them, so that you get to spend quality time with each of us.
