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.
