You can’t help but feel it, from the simplest indulgence of sipping café au lait in a sidewalk café to the nightly spectacle when the lights of Paris illuminate the evening sky. As capital to a nation once a monarchy, twice an empire, and five times a republic, monuments to Paris’s rich and intriguing history are everywhere. See yourself in this City of Light, where a stunning palace once home to royalty is now home to royal art, where gargoyles stare down upon you from the lofty ledges of legendary Notre-Dame, and where the iconic Eiffel Tower dominates the horizon. Visit Montmartre – a haven for artists – stroll along the Champs-Elysées at dusk, and discover the mystery of the Phantom in the Palais Garnier opera house. Admire the sumptuous apartments of Versailles and walk down its magnificent Hall of Mirrors, where the World War I peace treaty was signed, or go where Allied Forces landed on the shores of Normandy in 1944. And of course, savor the renowned flavors of France – wine and cheese – after a visit to the Eiffel Tower. A city of romance, elegance, light, and life, Paris is a city to visit time and time again. This exciting itinerary offers an ideal collection of well-designed excursions that will enhance your vacation experience, many of which are included for an unbeatable value. Space is limited and sure to sell out quickly, so sign up now and take advantage of this incredible offer that includes airfare. Remember you can save $500 per couple by booking prior to December 15, 2011. Share this unforgettable experience with fellow alumni as you discover the City of Light. Sincerely, Available to alumni, their families and friends. Jimmy W.
