Countdown to June 1st!

In four weeks our group of artist travelers will be in Paris!  Our Air France flight leaves from Chicago June 1st to arrive in Paris the morning of June 2nd.  We'll be taking a Blacklane limo service to the Hotel du Donjon where we'll have the rest of the day free to explore the area around the hotel in Vincennes, sit in the hotel courtyard and maybe even take a nap!

Some may even want to explore the Chateau du Donjon a few blocks from the hotel that has a rich history that you can read about on Wikipedia.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ch%C3%A2teau_de_Vincennes

We'll be taking group photos in front of some of the most famous sites like these from the last trip in 2010.

We'll be painting in our journals, taking photos, sitting in a Paris Cafe and simply enjoying "la joie de vivre" in the city of lights!

Along with our original 10 travelers, lifelong friend of the Artz's, Linda Haralson, her daughter Alyssa and granddaughter Hannah joined the group for the Paris leg of the journey.  Last weekend it worked out for Linda's sister, Barbara Stevens to join us as well. We'll all be staying at the Hotel du Donjon, along with some of our French friends who have decided to come to Paris and see us for a few days!  Unexpected joys!

But for now, we are packing our suitcases and deciding what to take along for those 16 fabulous days!
