Enjoy our stay and visit Paris.
Those of you who book the cruise will be able to admire Paris’s most beautiful monuments from the Seine. What’s more, this year Venite Cantemus takes place during a festive weekend in Paris: the Fête de la Musique, so you can make the most of it. Immerse yourself in the joyful and friendly atmosphere of the street concerts and entertainment, or discover the programmes offered for the occasion by museums and performance venues. You can view them here.
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 😍.

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.
