SUMMARY:Cambridge Society of Paris Annual Dinner 2025
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to the\nCambridge Society of Paris Annual Dinner \nwith Debbie Prentice\, Vice-Chancellor of Cambridge University \n19h30 to 23h30\nFriday 24th October 2025 \nLa Maison des Polytechniciens\, 12 Rue de Poitiers\, 75007 Paris \nBooking is now closed. \nA small number of places may become available due to late cancellations. If you are interested in going onto the waiting list for these\, please contact Tony Banton\, Treasurer. However\, please note that it may not be possible to take into account any dietary requirements. \nl’Hôtel de Poulpry\n \nThe mansion was built in 1703. The house has accommodated several political and artistic organizations over the centuries. Successive occupants have left their mark with the installation of elegant fireplaces and balconies. The name “Poulpry” comes from one of its owners in the late eighteenth century. \nThe house is now the base of the Association des Amis des Polytechniciens and is also made available to other groups for their events. \nOur Guest Speaker\n\n\n \n\n\nProfessor Deborah Prentice became the University of Cambridge’s 347th Vice-Chancellor on July 1\, 2023.  \nAn eminent psychologist\, Professor Prentice carried out her academic and administrative career at Princeton University\, which she first joined in 1988. She rose through the academic ranks and took on administrative responsibilities of increasing scope\, chairing the Department of Psychology for 12 years\, serving as Dean of Faculty for three years\, and then serving six years as Provost\, with primary responsibility for all academic\, budgetary\, and long-term planning issues.  \nHer academic expertise is in the study of social norms that govern human behaviour – particularly the impact and development of unwritten rules and conventions\, and how people respond to breaches of those rules. She has edited three academic volumes and published more than 50 articles and chapters\, and she has specialised in the study of domestic violence\, alcohol abuse and gender stereotypes.  \nTicket Application\nThe Cambridge Society of Paris is delighted to invite you and your guests to one of the landmark events of the CamSoc year. \nMembers of the Cambridge Societies of Paris\, Belgium or Luxembourg may apply for one or two members’ tickets. The price for aperitif\, dinner and drinks is €75 per person. Additional guests are also welcome\, although their ticket price is €90 each. \nFor our younger members\, under 30 years of age\, tickets are €55 per person\, again with one guest being able to be invited at the same price\, irrespective of the age of the guest. Additional guests are €90 each. \nAlumni of Cambridge University who are not members of the Paris\, Belgian or Luxembourg Societies may also join us\, with tickets available at €90 per person. \nTo apply for tickets\, use the plus sign to the right of each ticket type to select the tickets you would like to book. Please note that applications for more than two of the Standard Members tickets or U30 Members tickets will not be accepted. \nIf you have any questions about the Dinner\, please contact Tony Banton\, Treasurer. \nDress: Black tie (or lounge suits if preferred). \nPlease note that refunds will only be possible for cancellations received by Wednesday 12th October 2025.

SUMMARY:Musée d'Orsay - Sargent Exhibition - Dazzling Paris (1874-1884)
DESCRIPTION:Sargent Exhibition – Dazzling Paris (1874-1884)\nEvent sold out\n\n13 November 2025 \nAn exclusive guided tour organised by the Cambridge Society of Paris. Visit the Musée d’Orsay to see a specially curated exhibition of Sargent Paintings – a rare opportunity for members to view the exhibition. Marta\, our highly competent guide\, will peacefully take you through the collection with live commentary.\n\n\nJohn Singer Sargent (Florence\, 1856 – London\, 1925)\, along with James McNeill Whistler\, was the most famous American artist of his generation and certainly one of the greatest painters of the 19th and early 20th century. Revered in the United States (his Portrait of Madame X is regarded as the Mona Lisa of the American art collection conserved by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York)\, he is also famous in the United Kingdom\, where he spent most of his career. In France\, however\, his name and work remain largely unknown\, a situation that the exhibition at the Musée d’Orsay hopes to change in the autumn of 2025.Assemble at 17:30 on the esplanade of the museum by the sculpture of the Rhino (on the river bank) Esplanade Valéry Giscard d’Estaing\, 75007 Paris. Priority access is provided\, but we need to pass the security check\, leave any bags or coats in the cloakroom and get the audiophones. Please be there on time to be sure to enter on time as our tour slot is booked for 18:00 and we must not be late starting. Marta will be there to greet us and has made all necessary arrangements. \nPrice: €30 per person. all-inclusive of entrance fees\, guide charges\, the audiophones / headphones \nOptional Dinner is possible after the visit at the Café Orsay in the same street as the Museum.  Good food and reasonable fixed menu options available. Cost around €40 per person.  Please indicate if you intend to stay on for dinner when making your tour reservation. Payment for the meal will be at the restaurant by each diner. \nEvent sold out: and there is already a long waiting list so it is no longer possible to register for this event. \nContact: events@camsocparis.org for more information.

Spending one day in Fontainebleau will not only give you an insight into the splendours of its famous Château\, but also a chance to live like a Bellifontain(e)! \n——— \nAGENDA\nLunch & Speaker\n12h00: Lunch at l’Hôtel Mercure Château de Fontainebleau Demeures de Campagne a few steps away from the Château. \nAfter lunch\, there will be a speaker from the INSEAD Business School. \nTickets for the lunch\, which includes soft drinks and wine\, are €52 per person. \nSalon “Impérial Chocolat & Gastronomie”\nAfter the speaker’s address: Sylvie Leger will lead the group to the annual Salon taking place at the Château itself (outdoors and indoors)\, supervised by the famous chef Fréderic Cassel who owns a store in Fontainebleau. \nThe making of chocolate\, tasting\, chocolate sculptures of animals\, and famous Parisian monuments are amongst the highlights. For those staying longer\, the salon lasts two days: Saturday 29th November and Sunday 30th November. \nTickets for the Salon are €9 per person. \nFontainebleau Visit\n16h00: Sylvie will guide a walking visit of the highlights of Fontainebleau (weather permitting!) for those interested\, starting from outside the Salon. \n \n——— \nTICKETS\nRegistration for the Lunch (€52 per person) and the Salon (€9 per person) are available through the ticket section below. You can attend just the lunch\, or just the Salon (in which case meet at the restaurant at 14:00 to get your ticket) but we hope most of you will come to both.
