Last Minute Art Trip

Art_Tour_Rome_Paris (Carravagio) ROME "From the Royalty to the 20th Century"
PARIS "Connecting the 19th to the 20th Century"

Usually in the dead of winter you may receive an e-mail advertisement on an absolutely low cost flight to Paris or Rome, with Zoom airlines, Air Canada, or other.  So why not profit of this situation by simply jumping on this plane bringing you to Europe? This is the goal of this brand new art trip; visiting thoroughly Paris or Rome at a low cost, when hotels and restaurants are at their cheapest. To be part of this trip, you simply have to give your name that we will put on this Last Minute Art Trip contact list. As soon as we see an opportunity, we will give you a call and we will start our last minute operation. We need a minimum of 8 people and a maximum of 16 ready to drop everything at home for a period of eight days. Are you one of them?

Roma and Paris in February are fabulous. These extraordinary cities belong to you. The tourist crowds are forgotten memories of the past summer; museums and umbrellas protect you from the scattered showers; restaurant owners remember your name. This is why we have decided to organize this brand new cultural expedition in the middle of winter, a trip specially tailored for art lovers.  Our thematic days are dedicated to museums, churches, discovery walks, and much more. Preparatory classes and movies are given in both cities, where we lodge. You will be visiting the sites with a qualified art historian who knows the ins and outs of the both cities.

 Mornings and early afternoons (and some late afternoons) are dedicated to the exploration of the cities, their sites and museums.  Some late afternoon (16h00 to 18h00) will belong to your own personal avenues such as shopping and resting.  Evenings (20:00 hr – 22:00 hr) are for a warm meal at the local restaurant, discussing about art.  “Discovery Walks” are long strolls through the marble meanders of Rome discovering its essential sites: The Trevi Fountain, Piazza di Spagna, Piazza Navona, The Jewish Ghetto, Palazzo Farnese, the Campidoglio, the Pantheon, etc.  In Paris, Place des Vosges, Le Louvre, le Musée d’Orsay, le Musée national d’art moderne, the Latin Quarter, and much more…

In brief, this trip is the excellent opportunity to get acquainted to one (Paris or Rome) of the world’s most prestigious cities.
