I am Sue Lillie, President of A Paris Travel. I have been arranging travel to France and Britain since 1997. I was teaching French at the time and had taken a group of parents and students to Paris during Spring Break in 1996. That trip was organized by a large company that had been doing student tours for years. Upon my return, I realized that I could do what I had just done in the way of a tour and could do it much better. The rest is (as they say) "history" since while I continued to teach several more years, I did start A Paris Travel and organized my own group tours. Constrained by my teaching schedule, I could only travel at Spring Break and during summer. Then in 1999, I decided that I wanted to pursue a career as a full time tour operator and stopped teaching. This allowed me to make connections with outstanding France partners which in turn gave me knowledge, confidence, and resources to plan trips for individuals going to France on their own. Still, I continued escorting my own small groups and continue to do so. I've added the knowledge of and love for Britain travel to my travel website and look forward to helping many more new friends who find A Paris Travel on the web as they search for the best way to plan a trip to France and Britain.
