Annesherrod and I will be in Paris the first week of October 2012 and we'd love to see both the Paris local Fodorites and other Fodor Forum members who will be traveling to Paris that week. Just thought I'd kick off a thread in case anyone else is beginning to make plans for Paris next fall.

If you're on Facebook I've started an "Event" so that we can keep track of the details as we plan.

We are at about 10 for our Fall 2012 GTG. A number of us will be in Paris Sept 29-Oct 6. The actual GTG date has yet to be determined but a guess at this point is Tues Oct 2. All are welcome!

Oh, boy! Allyou gals and guys, and Ted Gale too? That could be irresistable. I'm seriously considering a return to Paris for my first ever GTG! Thanks for the heads up!

Wow, what a coincidence, I might actually be in Paris some time during the first week of October but not sure right now whether I'll be there on the 2nd. It's too early to know right now. All I know is that I have to be in Reims during the second week. Fingers crossed, and I'll follow the posting as details develop. Thanks for the advance notice.

We'll keep it in mind as we plan Paris and the Dordogne for the end of Sept into Oct.

We will likely have a little evening meet and greet/wine and cheese party on Sun Sept.30 or Mon Oct 1 as well.

I'll be in Paris that first week of October, and would love to come to a GTG. The meet and greet sounds great too.

Thats great Sandy!! We will be psoting more details as the date gets closer.

amwosu

There are currently about sixteen of us who have already committed to attend from the US, Canada and UK. There are several more people who are strong possibilities to join us.

We invite all "Fodorites" to join us and hope that some of the Paris locals will join the festivities as well. Please check out the info on our Facebook event page link listed in the OP.

In addition to a couple of GTGs on Oct 1 & 2, we will likely visit Reims by train on Oct 3 to sample some bubbly and see the Cathedral. We will also likely do an evening Fat Tire Bike Tour of Paris on Sept 30 or Oct 4.

Hi, I would very much like to attend the GTG (October 2?), wherever it may be. Checked Facebook, but didn't find my name.

Thanks,
Sandy

What does GTG stand for?

amwosu

GTG= get together

amwosu

sandyh- No formal invititaion necessary. Everyone is invited to attend. Those Fodorites who know each other on Facebook and from the 2010 Santa Fe GTG tried to spread the word as best as possible by sending an event invite to all of their other Fodor friends on Facebook. You are welcome to post a message on the Event page so I can then add you to the list of people as a way to stay informed. We would love to have you!

Has anyone found decent air fares to Paris from New England in October this year? rates seem to have gone "sky high"

amwosu

Prices are crazy. Some of the people coming from California and Arizona found sub $800 fares while those of us farther east were still seeing fares between $900-1200. Atlanta fares were still running as much as $1800 for the GTG week. I am flying roundtrip Indianapolis-London for $733 on Air Canada then taking the Eurostar to Paris. I'm going to stay in London before the GTG and probably Windsor afterward.

Amwosu: thanks for the definition. I don't why i didn't see that!
Sounds like fun, but we will be in Paris in mid September.

sandyh

Amwosu, thanks; I guess it makes sense that only those on Facebook would be listed. Myself, I have a very limited presence there, so I'll just try to stay updated via Fodors and checking the Facebook page periodically.

Seafox:
We bought tickets on AA Bos-CDG for $770.00 this month for last in Sept and first in Oct. Also available on BA and Iberia thru AA.
Would also be interested in GTG, but not sure of itinerary yet.
