Housing

The good news is that the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées is  right in the centre of Paris and there is no shortage of hotels

The other good news is that for tighter budgets there are youth hostels (also in the centre) such as 

Adveniat (Champs-Elysées), Mije (Marais) and others.

And the third good news is that you can opt to stay for free at a Parisian’s home. This is both economical and an opportunity to meet other singers or those who work behind the scenes.

Parisians are VERY welcoming 😍.

MEALS

To continue the adventure, meet around a meal and a glass of wine is always a good idea.

That’s why we are booking tables in selected establishments, with schedules that can be adapted to our program, for you to enjoy the joyful company of the other choristers, and at reasonable prices. You will have to reserve.
