International Council & Chairman’s Circle Annual French pilgrimmage
June 14–June 19, 2026
Please note, that this trip is currently at capacity. Please contact us at cbarut@aflouvre.org if you have any questions.
The 2026 International Council and Chairman’s Circle annual French pilgrimage will offer members several days in Paris before traveling to historic Normandy. Members will have the opportunity to visit museums and tour private homes and collections. A key highlight of the annual trip is special access to the Louvre. After exploring galleries and temporary exhibitions, the group will reconvene at the museum that evening for the third annual Soirée au Musée, a black-tie affair within the museum and an event exclusive to AFL patrons and friends. Throughout the program, patrons will enjoy refined meals, exceptional champagne, and the joie de vivre only France can offer.
If you are interested in becoming a patron of the International Council or Chairman’s Circle and joining this trip, please email us at info@aflouvre.org to learn more.
