Living in Paris presents many opportunities to explore and be introduced to new sights, events and smells!

Our cultural calendar is tailored to each group, past events have included…

• Opera at the Bastille Opera House
• Ballet at the Palais Garnier
• Soccer and/or rugby games at Stade De France/Parc Des Princes
• Walking tours in the footsteps of Hemingway/Amelie/Da Vini Code
• Picnics in the park
• Classical concerts / Jazz evenings
• French film evenings
• Wine appreciation events
• Group meals at famous brasseries across the city
• We’ve even taken groups on visits to the Paris Sewers!

Sometimes a few hours is not enough, so we also make a day of it…

• Chartres and its wonderful cathedral
• Giverny, in the footsteps of Monet
• The Champagne region for a tour and a taste
• Parc Asterix (the cartoon characters Asterix and Obelix have their very own theme park!)
• Versailles

Then there are places you just have to devote a weekend to…

• St Malo and Mont St Michel

AIFS uses its group buying power to negotiate great rates and provide these events at very favorable prices. The list could go on and on…
