To get as much content out of the trip as possible for our businesses

I will get action shots of hair and makeup in the fields

I will get headshots of you girls in the lavender fields if you wish

I plan to shoot digital and film photography

Once we have arrived at our hotel Sunday evening we could go see the twinkling Eiffel Tower

On Tuesday afternoon when we get back to Paris I would maybe like to visit Musee Rodin, anyone welcome to join or we could meet later on for a lovely dinner in Paris before our flight the next morning

Other gorgeous spots in Paris from a previous shoot:

Hotel research to follow but for the mean time these are the flights I've booked. I've just got carry on luggage booked for the moment 2 carry ons large and small which will probably be enough for what I need.

Hotel Options

For hotels I have booked via booking.com as some of the options have a discount on them and to keep all the bookings in one place, it may be cheaper to go directly via the hotel website.
