Patricia Schneider Plans: A Journey Into Mexico's Soul

By Patricia Schneider

It was in San Miguel de Allende—and I repeat this with joy—that I recently began organizing high-end cultural and gastronomic trips to Mexico City, this fascinating city that I know like the back of my hand. I arrived in this city at a very young age, and over time, explored its hidden corners, uncovered its secrets, and discovered its many facets, both joyful and enigmatic. Like Joséphine Baker, I could sing that I have two loves: Paris and Mexico.

But truly how does one become bicultural, deeply connected to another land, another culture? By fully immersing oneself, planting seeds, and probably only allowing time to cultivate deep roots. My new role as a meeting planner for all sorts of happy events and as a cultural and gastronomical curator for travelers is the natural continuation of a journey dedicated to art, aesthetics, and passionate attention to detail. For years, I have worked in the world of artists and interior design, guided by the great Robert Couturier, one of the greatest decorators of our time—a refined and visionary mentor whom I have had the chance to adore.

Today, I invite you to join me in the vibrant heart of Mexico: in Mexico City, of course, but also along an exceptional itinerary from Puebla to Oaxaca, discovering a living heritage, astonishing culinary traditions, and atmospheres as subtle as they are intense. And very soon, a new destination will be added: an as-yet unspoiled beach on the coast of Oaxaca, where well-being, nature, and the sweetness of life will blend, in the spirit of the most beautiful retreats. These trips are designed as rare experiences: elegant, sensitive, rich in meaning and emotions.

They are journeys that awaken the senses, nourish the soul, and leave lasting impressions.

"Patricia knows a ton about Mexico City: the art, architecture, antiques, and entertainment. She aims to please your interests and fill your days with excitement. She was a pleasure to be with and explore this enormous and important city. Patricia will get you off the beaten path and show you Mexico City from the eyes of someone who has lived there."
