SIAL, the Global Food Market Place, will be held October 19-23, 2008 at the Paris Nord-Villepinte Convention and Exhibition Center. The CIAA offers you the chance to join an exclusive and exciting trip beginning on Friday, October 17. The trip includes: Round-trip airfare on Air France; four or five nights at the landmark 4-star Concorde Saint-Lazare Hotel, right in the center of Paris, very convenient to all sights and transportation; daily buffet breakfasts; several sensational dinners sponsored by the "crème de la crème" of the cheese industry, including a spectacular evening offered by the French Diary Board; daily private bus transportation to and from the SIAL; transfer to and from airport and hotel in Paris; baggage handling at hotel; and for what promises to be one of the highlights of the trip, a spectacular one-day excursion on France's just opened new high speed train to historical Strasbourg, gourmet capital of Alsace, a region famous for its wine, beer and foie gras. Strasbourg's historic centre, the Grande Île ("Grand Island"), was classified a World Heritage site by UNESCO in 1988, the first time such an honor was placed on an entire city centre. You will admire it all! (5-night package only).
