EuroPanache was asked to join Virtuoso and preferred travel providers Lufthansa and the InterContinental Paris Le Grand in providing the McFarland family with an unforgettable vacation, while their home was rebuilt, neighborhood revitalized and a new community center erected by the show.

The McFarland Family of Indianapolis had two dreams – a new home to replace a house that was neither sufficient nor safe for a single father with three teenage sons, and a trip to Paris. Both came true!

Mr. McFarland, an educator and mentor to children in his community, has said that libraries and museums are ways to take you beyond your neighborhood: “Read a book, close your eyes, and you’ll be in Paris.”

We were thrilled to contribute to the family’s weeklong dream trip to France. Our Paris office organized the family’s many activities, including: transfers, museum visits, a “Black Heritage Tour”, a boat cruise on the Seine, Montmartre highlights, Paris rooftop visits and a very special “Behind-The-Scenes” experience at the Eiffel Tower.

The season's two-hour finale will air in 69 countries. Please check with your local TV affiliate for dates.
