Afternoon – discovering the mysterious Covered passages, that wend through central Paris. These suggestions are within walking distance, via streets and places that one does not expect (between Strasbourg-St.-Denis and Palais-Royal, on the Right Bank).

Conclusion of an intimate concert in a member's salon

For up to 60 people, we may suggest private places, a 19th-century salon, an artist's studio, an African bar ... For larger groups, we propose public sites whose spirit reinforces the mood.

 

 

 

    • "Take home" – all our events give perceptions that we hope visitors remember, and some were designed with that purpose in mind. Such as  –

     

         •Visit: "Bling, wealthy men & ballerinas, the Opéra's unspoken priorities"

     

    Please click HERE for a summary and HERE for a full description. The ideas can be adapted in several ways. 

     

    Participants obtain an unexpected view of the Opéra and of an important part of Paris and become aware of the difference between hastily-reached conclusions and those one reaches via an attentive gaze.

     

         • Soirée: "Classical music for people who hate classical music"

    • Cost-quality ratio

     

    Our non-profit organization inherited the  experience of creating several hundred events since the 1980's for Parisians, from an earlier association with dues and attendance fees as sole resources. So we know cost-quality ratios! As well, our overhead is minimal. We pass the savings on to you: Please CLICK.
