Everything worked very well, Sara was with us and was very helpful. Catherine took us on a wonderful tour, she is charming, funny and very knowledgeable. She took us to see the work of 4 architects, Henri Sauvage, Hector Guimard, Le Corbusier and Robert Mallet-Stevens and everything worked very well. We have been to Paris many times and were very surprised that we had seen only a couple of these architectural treasures.

Both the concept and the docent worked extremely well. The concept was novel. We have spent atotal of 9 months of our lives in Paris, but were unaware of this rich collection of modernist architecture. It was thrilling to see it, as if we were seeing Paris for the first time. The concept allowed us to look and to see things that we might otherwise have passed by. The docent was particularly well informed about modernist architecture, and about the context of its creation. She was fluent in English. She presented in a well thought out way, and allowed plenty of time for us to absorb what we were seeing and formulate questions. Particularly commendable was her ability to adapt to the diverse background of the 4 members of the group, several of whom had extensive knowledge about othe aspects of modernism. She readily acknowledged her limitations in knowledge, and there developed a most interesting interchange of knowledge and ideas. There was nothing that did not work. This walk epitomised the unique nature of Context programs. It was memorably excellent. My apologies for the delayed response.

Not enough variety of architecture. Michael extremely conversant in architectural periods.
