(D) Wednesday 20 March Medieval Paris Today we set out on foot to enjoy a walking tour of the medieval heart of Paris. We start with the cathedral of Notre-Dame, one of the most important monuments of the Middle Ages and then proceed to the astonishing 13th century Sainte-Chapelle, a royal chapel built by Louis IX to house major relics. We visit the Sorbonne, one of Europe’s oldest Universities, dating back to Caption the 13th century, and enjoy an amble around the streets of the Latin Quarter where the Medieval lives on today in many of the facades. Dinner is at the convivial Bistro Benoit. This warm and comfortable, typically Parisian Bistro is proud of its 100-year history and of being the only Bistro to be starred by the Michelin guide. (B, D) Thursday 21 March LOUVRE This morning art expert Angus Haldane joins us for a talk in the hotel before we set forth to explore the vast collection at the Louvre museum, which dates from the Middle Ages to 1848. The building has a fascinating history, having started as a fortified enclosure in 1190 on the outskirts of the city and being enlarged in size by successive rulers, including two Napoleons, into the world’s premiere art gallery. The latest addition, the superb pyramid, was completed in 1989. To compliment the ‘high art’ of the Louvre you might also like to visit the nearby Musée des Arts Décoratifs, which offers an extraordinary collection of furniture, objets d’art, tapestries, ceramics, jewellery and toys from the Middle Ages to today. (B) Friday 22 March Musée d’orsay and Musée Rodin Angus Haldene joins us for a second talk before we venture to the Musée d’Orsay. When it was built in 1900, painter Edmund Images left: the jewel-like interior of the upper chapel of Sainte- Chapelle; the Louvre Palace and the pyramid; The Three Shades, 1886, in the garden of Musée Rodin Detaille declared that the Gare d’Orsay looked like a palace of fine art. How appropriate that one of his paintings is now part of the exceptional collection at the Musée d’Orsay, the national museum of 19th century art. Our visit takes a thematic approach following the development of painting from the early academic paintings to the celebrated work of the Impressionists. After lunch at the fabulous museum restaurant, our next stop is the nearby Musée Rodin which underwent an enormous renovation some years back that included the building and grounds, to the Rodin sculptures themselves restored and re-presented. (B, L) Saturday 23 march MARAIS AND MAISON VICTOR HUGO Our walking tour today takes in Le Marais on the right bank of the Seine, an area that has long been the aristocratic heart of the city and houses many outstanding buildings of historic and architectural importance. It is here, on the Place des Vosges, that we find the Maison de Victor Hugo, his apartment between the years of 1832-48, an illustration of the life of the writer through his three major stages (before, during and after his exile in Guernsey). The afternoon is at leisure before we enjoy a performance of Verdi’s Otello at the modern Opéra Bastille, a striking building which was the ‘Grand Project’ of French President, François Mitterrand.

  • CHAMPS-ELYSEES ROLL OR STROLL from the Arc De Triomphe to the Tuileries Gardens
    CHAMPS-ELYSEES ROLL OR STROLL From the Arc de Triomphe to the Tuileries Gardens Don’t leave Paris without experiencing the avenue des Champs-Elysées (shahnz ay-lee-zay). This is Paris at its most Parisian: monumental side- walks, stylish shops, grand cafés, and glimmering showrooms. This tour covers about three miles. If that seems like too much for you, break it down into several different outings (taxis roll down the Champs-Elysées frequently and Métro stops are located every 3 blocks). Take your time and enjoy. It’s a great roll or stroll day or night. The tour begins at the top of the Champs-Elysées, across a huge traffic circle from the famous Arc de Triomphe. Note that getting to the arch itself, and access within the arch, are extremely challenging for travelers with limited mobility. I suggest simply viewing the arch from across the street (described below). If you are able, and you wish to visit the arch, here’s the informa- tion: The arch is connected to the top of the Champs-Elysées via an underground walkway (twenty-five 6” steps down and thirty 6” steps back up). To reach this passageway, take the Métro to the not-acces- sible Charles de Gaulle Etoile station and follow sortie #1, Champs- Elysées/Arc de Triomphe signs. You can take an elevator only partway up the inside of the arch, to a museum with some city views. To reach the best views at the very top, you must climb the last 46 stairs. For more, see the listing on page *TK.

  • A Quick Tour of Paris 1
    A quick tour of Paris 1 A QUICK TOUR OF PARIS 12 – 17 April 2016 Text by John Biggs © 2016 Images by John Biggs and Catherine Tang © 2016 A quick tour of Paris 2 A QUICK TOUR OF PARIS 22 hours and four plane changes see us arrive at Charles De Gaulle Airport whacked out. We have booked on a river cruise down the Rhone but have taken a five day tour of Paris before joining the cruise. We are met by a girl from the Dominican Republic who came to Paris a year ago with no French and massive ambitions. Four jobs later she is fluent in French, has an excellent job in tourism and is seeking more worlds to conquer. She takes us to a large car with a taciturn driver who is to take us to our hotel but something funny is going on: we have been going for much longer than expected, we pass through the grimmest industrial parts of Paris in silence. At one major intersection, police cars and motor cycles, light flashing, sirens wailing, weave in and around us. We look uneasily at each other: this is the month of the bombings. But wailing police sirens is a sound that is as Parisian as the Eiffel Tower, we are to discover. After an hour and some we finally arrive at Hotel Duminy-Vendome in the centre of Paris and our driver turns out to have excellent English, which he now uses freely. I had been studying French on line with Duolingo to 52% fluency (try it if you want to learn a language, it’s fantastic) but that doesn’t seem much use here.

You are going to discover places that tourists from all the world come to visit. But you’re not only going for a walk, you’ll have to solve puzzles. Be curious and look closely around you. You’ll be offered your Circuits Parallèles adventurer’s certificate at the end. It’s up to you now! ©circuits parallèles 2016 In 1831, the pasha of Egypt gave to France the two obelisks which marked the entrance of the Egyptian temple of Louxor, as a sign of their good relationship. The Temple of Louxor with its 2 obelisks It was not easy to bring them to Paris! Imagine the journey. The obelisk had to be dismantled without being broken but it was one single block of 230 tons (almost the weight of 2 blue whales) and 23 metres high. Then, it had to sail down the Nile, cross the Mediterranean and reach Le Havre by the Atlantic Ocean. From there, it had to sail up the Seine to finally arrive in Paris. In order to do so, a special boat and two new machines (one to dismantle the obelisk and the other to straighten it up) were built. What an adventure! Only one of the two obelisks made that journey to France while the other remained in Egypt where it still keeps the entrance of the temple.
