PARIS, FRANCE (PRWEB) July 3, 2005 -- Discover Paris!, a travel planning service specializing in customized, self-guided itineraries for visitors to the City of Light, has just launched a new service -- a guided shopping excursion for real-sized" women who wish to purchase lingerie and other clothing items in Paris. A Day of Decadence," is designed especially for American women, who are generally larger than the average-sized French woman.

The excursion is led by Robin, an American living in Paris who has personally researched the boutiques and shops on the tour. Robin, who calls herself a woman of size", has only included places where she herself would shop. Over a period of several months, she has identified boutiques that sell quality clothes and lingerie for large-sized women. She has selected shops where the sales personnel are skilled at making women feel at ease, turning the shopping experience into an enjoyable adventure.

After meeting the client at her hotel, Robin accompanies her on the half-day shopping excursion, which can include cosmetics and perfumes as well as clothes and lingerie if the client so desires. Robins working knowledge of French helps assure smooth communication between sales personnel and the client. Following the excursion, she and the client repair to a luxury Parisian salon de thé for a relaxing afternoon tea.

Because many French boutiques are small and because of the intimate nature of the items to be purchased, the Day of Decadence" shopping excursion is limited to a maximum of three women. The date and time for each excursion is arranged by mutual agreement between the client and guide. Robins goal is to provide the client with an enjoyable shopping experience while sharing her knowledge about Paris and French culture.

Discover Paris! has added A Day of Decadence" to its growing list of personalized, guided activities. Other such activities include Wine Adventures in Paris", an Epicurean Quarter" walking tour, and guided museum visits featuring Black Images in European Art". The companys activities are created for discerning travelers who want personalized activities that group tours or guide books cannot provide.
