Metz Reunion Programs Updated — Time to Book your Hotel

Doug Pincock — Sat, 31 Mar 2012 11:46:52 +0000

The Reunion program is nearing its final form (See link in the sidebar). If you’re planning to go, reservations for our main hotel (Hotel de la Cathedrale) are now open.

The Programs for the Paris Visit and Alsace Wine Route Tour are also largely complete (See sidebar links)

Participation is growing but there is room for more

Program Updates and Looking for Feedback

Doug Pincock — Wed, 07 Mar 2012 11:33:33 +0000

There have been updates to the Reunion Program as well as the Paris visit before and the Alsace tour after. Take a look if you’re participating or thinking of it. There are a few points that we’d like feedback on and, depending on what we hear, the programs will be adjusted accordingly. Please provide your input by commenting below or sending an email to committee@navereau.ca.

Day Trip from Metz (Sept 18)

We are proposing a visit to Verdun. This would be by private bus as train connections are poor. Another possibility would be to visit the historic centre of Nancy which is is 45 minutes to an hour away by train with very frequent service. it would also be possible to briefly visit the attractive town on Pont-a-Mousson (Some Photos) on the way there or back.

Metz dinner Cruise

The dinner is certainly pricey and the alternative exists to do an midday cruise with a meal and/or drinks at each individual’s discretion.

Additional Metz activities

We have time in the program for other activities that individuals might propose. Please note that a visit to the Chateau is probably not possible

Paris Hotel

We have proposed the Hotel Perdrix Rouge which is a modest hotel outside of the tourist center. We have had friends stay there and they were very happy

If a number of you would prefer something more luxurious or right in the centre, please let us know and, depending on interest, we will change hotels or provide an alternative. We’d also be interested in hearing from anyone who has a favourite hotel in Paris.

Day Trip Destinations from Paris (Sept 16)

We have suggested Normandy Beaches, Chantilly or Fontainebleau, Monet’s House and Garden or a Bike Ride as possibilities. We’d like to narrow as well as possibly add another destination if there is interest. Note the obvious omission of Versailles in the above list. The reason for this is that, except in the depths of winter, it is so crowded that it’s impossible to enjoy.

Alsace Post Reunion Tour for non Cyclists

While this has been set up to provide possibilities for no cyclists to join us there are lots of details to add once we know if there will be non cyclists, rougly how many and their preferred mode of transportation (i.e. rented car or public transport).

Hotel in Strasbourg?

As you can see, none has been chosen yet other than it would be near the historic centre. However, as none of the Committee have been to Strasbourg, if anyone reading this has a suggestion, we’d be happy to receive it.

Air Canada Leap Year Fares — An Opportunity to Book?

Doug Pincock — Wed, 29 Feb 2012 09:47:01 +0000

Air Canada’s fares to Paris in their current offer (ends Friday I think) are the best I’ve seen in quite sometime. So, if you are planning to attend Reunion 2012, this might be the time to book. PS Program and … Continue reading →
