Paris is Always a Good Idea: Story, Cast and Series Facts

Story and premise

Career-driven nonprofit executive Chelsea Martin travels to Paris with her confident rival-turned-ally, Jason Knightly to secure a major donation but a heartfelt message from her late mother – and a loving push from her sister Annabelle – sends her on an unexpected journey to reconnect with the three great loves she once left behind. From the rolling hills of Ireland to the magic of Paris and the sun-kissed vineyards of Spain, Chelsea retraces old footsteps and discovers that sometimes moving forward means first looking back.
