Famliy, Friends and Fans, you love the music but are not a singer yourself? Join the Cabaret Connexion FAN CLUB as we travel with our singers to Paris!
YES, come with us for access to nightly performances and daytime tourism activities specially crafted for you.
In Paris, your Fan Club membership fee of $250 gives you entry to every Cabaret Connexion event (concerts, jam sessions, walking tour, Josephine Baker musical—10 events all told). Plus you can participate in our daytime itinerary as much or as little as you choose. The daily tourism excursions are à la carte, some being free of charge. Our volunteer organizers (led by David Reithoffer) will help guide you, including the best way to use Paris’ amazing public transportation system.
The FIAP Jean Monnet conference center in the 14th arrondissement (30 Rue Cabanis, 75014 Paris) will be the epicenter for our activities. This is where more than 30 US and international singers will be staying and sharing daytime workshops with a dozen of their French counterparts. As co-travelers, you benefit from the group-discount room rate for your stay at FIAP. The café/lobby will be our meeting point for departures of the daily excursions, and the restaurant serves delicious meals all day.
Come enjoy Paris with people who know and love it!
