TourCrafters' Paris Special

A Romantic Valentine Getaway

Libertyville, IL, January 12, 2009—What could be more romantic than a long weekend in Paris over Valentine's Day?  But is it affordable in this economic downturn?  TourCrafters comes to the rescue with their 5-day/4-night Paris Special package that provides round-trip air from New York, four nights accommodation at the deluxe St. James & Albany Hotel, daily buffet breakfast, service charges and taxes—all for as little as $888 per person.  (For those whose budget won't stretch even that far, TourCrafters offers the same deal at the Hotel All Seasons Voltaire République for only $559.)

The glittering capital of France is, arguably, the world's most romantic city, with its beautiful Haussmannien buildings, the enchanting Eiffel Tower, glamorous shopping streets like rue du Faubourg-St-Honoré, dreamy bateaux-mouches rides on the River Seine, and thousands of charming restaurants and cafés.  And this year, with the euro worth far less than it was last year, even the restaurants and cafés are more affordable.

The elegant St. James & Albany, a 17^th-century mansion-turned-hotel, is located on the rue de Rivoli just across the street from the famed Tuileries Garden.  It boasts a picturesque interior courtyard, an organic spa with pool and a celebrated restaurant (which is offering a special Valentine's dinner).  The All Seasons Voltaire République is a basic but comfortable hotel in the lively République quarter.

Additional air fares from cities other than New York are $55 from Boston, $35 from Washington, D.C., $176 from Atlanta, $109 from Miami, $67 from Chicago, $143 from Houston, $177 from Los Angeles, $122 from San Francisco and $53 from Seattle.

All prices quoted are per person, double occupancy, are subject to availability and do not include airport taxes of $112 or fuel surcharges of $330, which are not included in the quoted price because they are subject to change by the airlines. Reservations must be paid for within 72 hours of booking.  For additional information about this and other good-deal wintertime packages, visit www.tourcrafters.com.  For reservations, call 800-482-5995.
