Dear Parisian, please find attached your notification to attend final examination.
Place: Conservatoire de Paris
Date: from June 18th to July 3rd
Ok, calm down: there won’t be any exam for you today. For the Conservatoire students though, time has come to perform their end of year show. Which you are about to gatecrash.
Let’s be honest. When you first arrived in Paris, you expected every single French person to be wearing a beret, a striped t-shirt and carrying a baguette. And that’s how you decided to dress, in order to blend in more easily. Unfortunately it didn’t work.
'Today, I want to visit the Opera Garnier'. 3 days. 3 days that you’ve been cavorting in Paris with your friend Jenny, visiting for a few days. You’ve already climbed the 1665 steps of the Eiffel Tower, been up the 237 steps of the Sacré Coeur, and shuffled along for 3 hours in the Louvre galleries. Your feet are burning with despair. How about sitting in a comfortable armchair for a while? Don’t worry, Jenny won’t say a word: the visit is going on.
Have you already seen Jean Seberg on the Boulevard Saint-Germain ? Audrey Hepburn on the first floor of the Eiffel Tower ? Frank Sinatra dancing on the steps of Montmartre ? We did, at the "Paris seen by Hollywood" exhibition at the Hotel de Ville.
