Musee Carnavalet Recap

Hello AU members and fans! TGIF!!

We had a great turnout at last weekend's event, the guided tour of the Musee Carnavalet. Our tour guide, Mlle. Tram, was very friendly and very knowledgeable in all things Paris. Her excitement was so contagious we had some hanger-ons join our tour. There was much to see and 1,5 hours is simply not enough time. I will definitely go back for learn more about this wonderful city I now call home.

Oh, and one last thing, the Musee Carnavelet offers many different themed tours (ie 17th century furniture, a general history of Paris, 18th century art). Some tours are free and others paid. General admission to the museum is free and you must pay if you want to check out their latest exhibition: the French Revolution.

Go check it out...you won't regret it!

La Rentrée

Hello and welcome back!

It has been a while since most of us have seen each other. We hope that you all enjoyed your summer and that your tan has not completely faded!


AU will kick off the fall season with it's first event of the season: a guided tour of Musee Carnavalet (see our Events box on the right for more information). What better way to learn more about this wonderful city we live in? (And we shouldn't really tell you this but there will be a General Paris History category in next month's pub quiz...shhhhh!!! it's a secret!)

Later in October, we will be hosting our most popular event - the AU Pub Quiz! More details will follow later. I don't know about you but I can't wait for this one! This will be the first one I am hosting and I hope that I can be as entertaining as the charming Miss Cooper...Wish me luck!

Keep checking back with us as we will start posting more information on AU future events. We are glad to be back in full force and look forward to a great fall season!
