PARIS -- The fee of $250 covers 5 Connexion concerts, open mics, a singing tour of Montmartre, lunchtime round table discussions, and attending the smash musical "Josephine Baker" on Sunday, November 2. Our volunteer "ambassadors" have devised a list of optional daytime activities and will be on hand to help you get around.
We recommend staying with us at FIAP Jean Monnet conference center. Our group rate is about $96 per night for a single room, $67 per person sharing a 2-twin-bed room. Breakfast is included. The restaurant and snack bar are ample. The location is convenient to many sites and transit lines.
LYON -- The fee of $500 covers lodging for 4 nights in Vieux Lyon and 3 Connexion concerts. The high-speed 2-hour train from Paris is approximately $80-$120 round trip. Visit this Italianate capital of gastronomy by day. Catch up with the singers by night.
DORDOGNE -- We have the unique opportunity to sing at and visit Jospehine Baker's chateau with her son Akio Bouillon Baker. Our chauffeur Pascal will take us on an idyllic tour of the countryside, the cliffside villages including the historic La Roque-Saint Christophe, and a visit with Akio to his town of Saint Cyprien. We'll stay at the Domaine de la Rhonie, feted by the owners Emmanuelle and Mickael with local cuisine of paté and duck confit (the vegetarian sèpe mushroom omelette is sublime). The all-inclusive fee of $810 covers 4-hour train ride from and to Paris, our bus, double occupancy lodging, museum entries, and all meals.
All fees should be paid in full by October 1.
