Please join us for a fantastic Zoom presentation hosted by Gene Flynn as we daydream of summer vacations while we endure the winter blahs!

A first trip to Paris is a whirlwind filled with iconic attractions. This one-hour presentation accompanies 
Gene and Nancy on their return visit, where they explore charming smaller museums, wander through picturesque 
neighborhoods, and even embark on a day trip to the Champagne region. While you can’t fully become a 
Parisian in just a week, you’ll definitely understand why they cherish their city, and Notre Dame, so deeply.
