As seen on "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" Season Finale ...
Virtuoso® Provides the McFarland Family with a
Return on Life™ Experience

This Sunday, Virtuoso and its preferred travel providers, EuroPanache, Lufthansa, Carey International, and the InterContinental Paris Le Grand, were showcased on "ABC’s Extreme Makeover: Home Edition."

The McFarland Family of Indianapolis had two dreams – a new home to replace a house that was not sufficient or safe for three teenage sons and a single father, 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.”

Virtuoso was very pleased to orchestrate the family’s dream trip to Paris, while the show built them a new home. Virtuoso would like to thank our preferred suppliers who donated their time, product and services to create a trip of a lifetime for this very deserving family.

Lufthansa provided the family with roundtrip Business-Class airfare to Paris, where the family was able to rest and relax. They raved about Lufthansa’s flat beds!



EuroPanache organized the family’s many activities, including a “Black Heritage Tour” of Paris and a “Behind-The-Scenes Tour” of the Eiffel Tower. Thanks to EuroPanache, the McFarland’s enjoyed the very best of Paris sights!




Carey International provided the family with private transfers to and from the airport from their home in Indianapolis.


InterContinental Paris Le Grand graciously hosted the family in their Presidential Suite for the week. The McFarland Family enjoyed spectacular views of the Paris skyline and Garnier Opera House, dined each morning and evening, and received VIP treatment during their stay at Le Grand.


The show’s two-hour season finale aired Sunday, May 17. Check out a scene from the show.
