Your Paris textile adventure begins in the heart of the city. The tour officially starts on Wednesday, 15th April 2026, and guests should aim to arrive at the Ibis Styles Gare de l’Est Magenta in the early afternoon.

We recommend arriving via one of the following major transport hubs, both within a short walking distance of the hotel:

• Gare de l’Est – Serves regional and national trains from eastern France and Germany
• Gare du Nord – The arrival point for Eurostar trains from London and high-speed services from northern France and Belgium

For those flying into Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG), a direct RER B train runs frequently into Paris and stops at Gare du Nord, offering a fast and cost-effective way into the city centre.

Once at Gare de l’Est or Gare du Nord, the hotel is just a few minutes away on foot or by taxi.

Private airport transfers from CDG can also be booked during the checkout process for a stress-free arrival.

Your Paris stay will be based at the Ibis Styles Gare de l’Est Magenta, a bright and comfortable premium budget hotelideally located in the heart of the 10th arrondissement. Just a short walk from Gare de l’Est and Gare du Nord, it offers easy access to Paris’s vibrant neighbourhoods, metro lines, and local attractions.

The hotel features modern, well-appointed rooms with ensuite bathrooms, air conditioning, and complimentary Wi-Fi. You may select either single or double occupancy to suit your preference.

Breakfast is included each morning, served buffet-style in the hotel’s breakfast area. Enjoy a selection of freshly baked pastries, breads, fruit, yoghurt, cereals, cheeses, and hot and cold beverages to begin your day.

Lunches and dinners (apart from the Welcome Dinner Cruise on 15th April) are not included, giving you the freedom to explore Paris’s diverse dining scene. However, for guests who prefer a more structured evening, a recommended dining option will be selected each evening, offering a chance to dine together at a well-chosen local restaurant—no reservation hassle required.

To ensure a comfortable and enjoyable trip, we recommend packing the following essentials:

• Comfortable Walking Shoes
  Many of our tours involve exploring Paris on foot—cobblestone streets and museum floors call for supportive footwear.
• Weather-Appropriate Clothing
  April in Paris can be mild but changeable. Pack light layers, a warm jumper, and a light waterproof jacket or umbrella just in case of spring showers.
• Smart-Casual Outfit for the Welcome Dinner Cruise
  While formalwear is not required, a neatly dressed, smart-casual look is ideal for our scenic evening on the Seine.
• Reusable Water Bottle & Day Bag
  Great for staying hydrated and keeping your hands free while exploring.
• Travel Documents
  Don’t forget your passport, travel insurance certificate, transport tickets, and any necessary health documents.
• Personal Medications & Toiletries
  While pharmacies are plentiful in Paris, it’s best to bring any prescribed medications or specialty items you require.
• Phone Charger & European Plug Adapter
  France uses Type C or E plugs and 230V voltage—be sure your devices are compatible.
• Notebook or Sketchbook (Optional)
  For those who feel inspired by the textures, patterns, and places you’ll encounter along the way.
