Eve Villas Introduces Paris Passionistas
Eve Villas Paris now connects its guests with local people with whom they share interests.
Online, May 29, 2013 (Newswire.com) - Parisians Share Their Interests and Contacts as part of vacation apartment rental
In a new twist on vacation apartment rental , eve Villas Paris now connects its guests with local people with whom they share interests. The Passionista program gives visitors the opportunity to experience Paris through the eyes, ears, and sensibilities of real Parisians. Eve Passionistas are not professional guides, but people who themselves have a vibrant and serious interest in many of the same, special things that interest visitors to Paris.
Says Ron Katz, eve Co-founder and managing partner, "Our guests have a wide range of interests and reasons why they visit the City of Light. Be it the obvious but essential visit to the great museums and best known shops, or things wonderful, zany, and unusual, this is a way in through the human rather than the institutional door." Adds eve's President Jules Kragen, "no interest is too narrow, odd, or out of the box. Whether it is shopping in the local markets and preparing dinner in your own kitchen with a Parisian chef, simply hiking through a great park, exploring the city's underground (and off-limits tunnels - yes one of our Passionistas knows the secret entrances and is a full-fledged Parisian spelunker), or spending a few hours at the Eiffel tower with an engineer who revels in its splendor and construction, or visiting one of the fashion houses (not open to tourists), we have Passionistas on our team who are eager to explore these places with our guests."
One eve Passionista, Yavi says, "I have a passion for fashion, I am a fashion journalist, so I know quite a bit, also I attend Paris Fashion Week shows, meeting visitors and introducing them to this side of Paris is exciting for them and fun for me. I have often thought how nice this kind of contact would be for me when I am traveling." Adds Josef, another eve Passionista, "My passion for this city's history is a personal one, ...and I love to share my knowledge of gastronomy and art with others. " "Currently eve Passionistas have access to about forty interests," says Katz, "and when we encounter a guest with an interest for which we have no Passionista on our roster, we simple reach out to our current Passionista network and 99% of the time there is someone ready, willing and eager to be engaged with our guests."
