Take your mom to Paris: 

You can get there in style flying Iberia or TAP Air in business class for fewer points. Or try Air France & KLM for regular sales in economy, and reasonably priced business class award tickets.

We recommend starting your day off with a pain au chocolat and a cafe au lait. Then head to Galeries Lafayette or Printemps for a more authentic Parisian shopping experience. Lunch in the park the way Parisians do; the Jardin du Luxembourg around the Fontaine Medici is the perfect spot.

You can take a dinner cruise on the Seine as a relaxing way to end the day while watching the sites swim by. Or head to Le Cadoret for a local brasserie meal with fresh ingredients that won’t break the bank.

If you like art, we recommend the Musee d'Orsay with their incredible selection of Impressionist paintings, or the Orangerie, which houses Monet's water lilies running the length of the walls. 

Paris is one of the most walkable cities in Europe but if you have a packed itinerary, use Uber to get around while taking in the sights. If you have more time, the Metro is fairly cheap and easy to use.

If you want to experience luxury without breaking the bank, stay at the Park Hyatt Paris-Vendôme, which you can book with Chase & Hyatt points. Settled between the Louvre and the Opera Palais Garnier, you can live like a Queen and sleep like one too.

Try 5-star Le Cinq Codet and book with your Capital One Venture X to get $300 off your booking with your travel credit. Its art-filled modern interiors will calm you after strolling Paris’ cobblestone streets. Plus, the Eiffel Tower is only a 15 minute walk away.
