| Arrive
in Paris and take the Roissybus to the city. Check into your
hotel and relax. Tonight we are taking off for a welcome reception
at a typical French Bistro*. Time to meet or reconnect with
fellow alums and make plans for the next few days. After dinner,
enjoy a cruise on a glass-topped Bateau Mouche, gliding down
the Seine through the heart of the city and coordinate your
museum and concert visits. |

| Day
3- Thursday, March 27 |
| All
day is free to explore the Bohemian Left Bank bookstalls or
shop for designer fashions, have your portrait done by Place
du Tertre artist or just watch the world go by from a sidewalk
cafe. Use your Paris Museum
Pass. Both The Louvre and the Musee d’Orsay are open
until 6 pm. Check the list of museums and monuments included
in your pass. You might even want to checkout “Euro-Disneyland”
to find out if Mickey Mouse speaks French. Evenings in Paris
are full of excitement, whether it’s a colorful cabaret,
intimate bistro or nightclub. Use your 2-day pass for the open-top
bus to get around. Tonight’s the night of the big event: Alicia Keys in concert! |

can recommend a number of activities and restaurants as well.
Use the 2nd day of your open-top bus ticket to get around. Shop
at Hermes and Vuitton or visit the Paris’ Hard Rock Cafe
located on 14. Boulevard Montmartre, or go for a walk along
the Seine River. |
