When we go to Paris I will be on a mission, after all there’s nothing more constructive than going somewhere with several plans in hand:
what to see; what to draw; what to buy; and what to eat – not necessarily in that order
what to see; what to draw; what to buy; and what to eat – not necessarily in that order
I have just begun my own agenda plan. It will cover four areas, comics, picture books, places to see, and things to eat! Its only five days so I don’t want be too ambitious.
In order to make the most of the trip can you all make a plan, which will need some research, and then we can meet up a few weeks before we go to see what everyone comes up with
We can then then think about grouping to stay safe and enjoy the company of people with like minded interests. I’m about to email my mother, who happens to be French, to retrieve some names of some of the best cake shops in Paris, as she continually goes to Paris on this kind mission!

You can write your plan as a daily one, which will also tell us who are the early risers and those who like to stay up late. Places like Centre Pompidou, the Louvre, and Notre Dame, could be on your list of things to see, but some of you may want to go further to Chateau de Versailles, or look at alternative side to Paris:

When we return to BIAD we will have an exhibition of work, but rather than have a mixture of random Paris related drawings, I would like to suggest that you all research on an illustration context that you wish to focus your visual studies on whilst in Paris, and then exhibit them on your return.
I’ve begun my list of links & places to go below, but won’t do any more, until we know in which hotel, area of Paris we are staying
