Paris - February 2008
2 nights - Friday 29 February - Sunday 2 March 2008
The cost of this trip will be £100. There are 45 places available
Due to people needing longer for visa applications to be processed for the Paris trip, I have been advised to delay the trip 2 weeks until the end of February; I am sorry for the inconvenience.
Deadline to secure a place and to make the payment for the trip is Friday 8 February 2008. If the minimum number of people do not sign up by the booking deadline, then the trip may have to be cancelled but you will receive your money back EXCEPT any additional expenses incurred for travel insurance or visa applications.
The price includes:-
- coach & ferry transport
- 2 bed & breakfast in a 2* hotel in twin bedded ensuite rooms, close to the Gallieni metro station.
Basic Paris Trip Timetable - subject to weather & traffic!
If the coach driver decides to stop during the drive and you must listen when the driver or trip leader tell you to meet back at the coach
If you are not present when the coach is due to leave IT WILL LEAVE WITHOUT YOU and you will have to then arrange your own transport; even if you are in France.
