Paris Class Trip 2010

We are just back from Paris and our trip was a huge success. The group from Davis Studio spent the last week of April in Paris, under the capable direction of Karen Kane of Paris by Design. We packed so much into those few days and yet still had time for relaxed walks and afternoon pastries. We saw world class art at the Louvre, Musee d' Orsay, and de l' Orangerie. Under blue skies and 70 degree temperatures, we sketched in Rodin’s sculpture garden and took photos of Monet’s water lily pond. We biked through the streets of Paris and also experienced the metro, train and a water taxi. The trip to the top of the Eiffel tower was breathtaking. We saw the opulence of the palace in Versailles and the impressive gothic architecture of Notre Dame. The delicious food, fabulous shopping and interesting cultural experiences rounded out our amazing week.

For those of you interested in joining us on a future trip, we are tentatively planning another Davis Studio Paris adventure during the April school vacation week in 2012. Begin brushing up on your French and start saving for this trip of a lifetime. We plan to announce details and begin to accept sign-ups in January of 2011. You can always find out more details on our website.
