The social dinner will be held on Thursday, September 27, 2007, from 8 pm up to 1 am as a Cruise through Paris on the Seine River aboard the two vessels Alliance and Arletty. Note that as each boat can welcome 120 guests, total attendance to the dinner is limited to 240 people. The boats will leave from the "Port de l'Arsenal" at La Bastille in downtown Paris. It will return to the same location by 11:30 pm.

To go there from Orsay, take the RER B train to Paris. Stop at the station "Chatelet-Les Halles" and change there to the subway line 1 direction "Chateau de Vincennes" to station "Bastille".
