* pronounced the french way it sounds OK
A few more suggestions
OK just a screen exerscise at mo. But here is the basic idea lets build a model for weekend in Paris. Goes like this ( all spelling is approximate)
Friday
17 seater mini bus with 15 people
Travels from Bournemouth picking people up on route
Ferry route Newhaven to Dieppe. Reason? Dieppe offers the shortest amount of driving in France and pretty well directly leads to...
Saturday
Bois de Bologne, park here ( make sure no racing at near by longchamps)
Eiffel tower ( meet proper starts)
Les Invallides ( where Napolean is burried)
Alexander II bridge
Place de la Concorde
Tuelleries Gardens. Lunch. The place is right bang centre of city, has Siene on 1 side and the Louvre on another
Ile de la Cite and Notre Dame ( and I 'think' its near here you can see Rodin's 'the kiss' and the original Statue of Liberty ( yep the one in New York was bought and paid for by the French!))
Left Bank and Latin Quarter
Somewhere between here and Eiffel Tower is where a hotel need to be found.
Evening mix and match and options. Wonder off alone, caberet, clubbin, go to sleep, metro to Monmartre for some nite bocking you get the idea.
Sunday
Again options, linger in city or maybe slight detour on way to ferry port to 'own' Rouen
Hyper market ( if room in bus )
Ferry and home
So questions questions my 1st few. Please add your own --oh and please please do answer them as well ( doesnt matter if 'solved' more than once)
Date
Hire of van -cost, van dimensions ( for ferry booking), approx petrol consumption
Ferry, cost and sailing times ( so we can work out start time at the Tour)
Hotel biggest mystery at mo. Ideally we want something like the French equivalent of a Travel Lodge ( where 4 or more people and cram in for very little money) that would be extreme budget end --some could opt to find something a little better. So if you or someone you know has been to Paris recently get the hotel info to this page please.
Tee Shirt design. As a basis, blue ( colour of french footie team) normal font for 'Capital Bocking' but for 'Paris' the same font/design as the Metro signs, dates to be in French. Anyweb addy (forum, club even myspace)
Get in touch with French bockers, simply nice to meet them, but also could be hosts/guides and will know what the police are like etc
This meet WOULD be open to U18s. However, you will need to be accompanied by a 'willing' adult at the ratio of 1xA-2xU18. Not just simply do sums and say, yep enuff grown ups for the kids.
Once these found the model can be adapted, differing numbers of people or ferry terminal or start location etc
So please please my pretties lets do it
Does it all add up?
