DEPARTURES
GENERAL INFORMATION & SUGGESTIONS:
CONTACTS
(MOBILES):
Please note: All meals payable by credit card (VISA preferred), unless
otherwise indicated.
BREAKFAST:
Where?
Either at your hotel or in a local café — look for local bakeries for fresh
croissants or baguettes which most cafés will allow you to consume on their
premises if you ask first and order at least a café!
TRAVEL:
Public transport in Paris and the Paris region is generally not very
friendly to those with mobility issues and usually requires one’s going up and
down stairs and carrying one’s own luggage in the process. In case of doubt or uncertainty while using public
transport, please do not hesitate to ask other travelers for information or
advice — today, most people in Paris speak at least enough English to be able
to help!
Please note: Participants will be expected to pay their own travel
costs.
