1. 6FC Paris Visit February 2013
WHAT TO BRING
• A journal/ notebook / sketchbook and writing/drawing equipment. Don’t
forget ; the purpose of the visit is to research ideas and Artists for your
Exam.
• Passport and European Health card.
• Euros – you will need money for lunches, snacks and to buy postcards
etc.. be aware that the rate of exchange is nearly eighty one pence to
the Euro to and that Paris is never cheap. ( It is of course entirely your
choice how much spending money to bring - but £50/60 would be a
fair starting point).
• Warm clothes (including a coat) and waterproof shoes. Paris in mid-
February is likely to be cold and there will be lots of walking outside. If
you wear the equivalent of slippers you will have cold feet!
• Mobile phone and Camera. Try not to have too much paraphenalia with
your camera and bear in mind that you will need to keep it secure.
Paris is no better or worse than other capital cities for the risk of
pickpocketing – especially at tourist destinations such as the Pompidou
Centre.
• One ‘day bag’ to put essential items, sketchbooks and things you will
need walking about galleries etc and one larger bag/case for clothes/
toiletries etc.
