I hope you have had a wonderful visit come to Paris again and again

Note of Caution:

Paris is a wonderful city to enjoy, however, be sure to return to the hotel at a reasonable hour so that you can be ready for croissants and coffee at 8:00AM every morning to depart soon after. There is so much to see and we have so little time. Thus we cannot wait for stragglers or tolerate morning after zombies. Do not place the program, your colleagues or yourself at risk.
