I am a college student traveling from the States and I was wondering if anyone knows of any really discounted hotels or if anyone in Paris is willing to share their accomodations or house me? Does anyone know who I should ask?

Ismaili kid, I am working on some accomodations with some other students from the states. I will keep you posted if we get any good deals or if anyone has open rooms. Where are you from and what are you studying?

Hi, I'm also a student, I'm from Canada but I'm currently living in Germany for a year. I'll be travelling alone from Munich to Paris. If anyone has any more information about decent hotels or if the students from the U.S. figure anything out about group rates, could you please let me know? Thank you in advance, that would be greatly appreciated.

Sophia14 · Post by **Sophia14** » Mon Dec 01, 2008 12:28 pm

And one more thing...does anyone know the exact date yet? I was planning on catching a train on Dec. 9, but if it's comfirmed that it will be on the 11th, then I wouldn't come until the 10th. If anyone knows anything please let me know! Thank you

nagji13 · Post by **nagji13** » Mon Dec 01, 2008 1:10 pm

yam,

i noticed on the padhramni site, that those living outside france registering must pick up their own access card prior to 3 days before darbar.

i was wondering if anyone knows how strict this policy is, as would that mean we could not register now and pick them up a day or two prior?

its just that we don't know the exact date of darbar as yet...?

thanks

Au Jamat Francophone, félicitation pour le darbar en France, désormais je ne serais pas capable de participer aux célébrations avec mes amis francophones car je viens de faire un deedar à Toronto. Je vous souhaite une très bonne fête du jubilé d’or et un très bon darbar ! <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com

Darbar will be on the 11th.

I went to London for Didar and booked my accomodation through VRBO.COM. This site rents out houses, condos, townhouses, etc. at very affordable rates (sometimes under $1,000 per week), you may have up to 6 guests per home, and is a 100% secure. The Metro in Paris is very good so it doesn't matter where you are in PAris, you are only 45 min. (maximum) from the Darbar Hall.  Good Luck.

Updates from theismaili.org

Welcoming the world to France: Preparing for Mawlana Hazar Imam’s final Golden Jubilee visit

The announcement of Mawlana Hazar Imam’s Golden Jubilee visit to Paris filled Ismailis in France, Belgium, Switzerland, and Côte d’Ivoire with happiness. The excitement is palpable in every Jamatkhana and Ismaili household.

For many in France and the French jurisdiction Jamat, the Golden Jubilee Darbar will be their first deedar. The visit planning team has placed special emphasis on planning educational activities for newly-arrived members of the Jamat and younger Ismailis.

Young members of the Jamat attending Bait-ul Ilm are commemorating the visit by writing messages of felicitations that will be displayed at the visit hall. Other activities and events are being organised for the youth to express their thoughts about the fifty years of Mawlana Hazar Imam’s Imamat and to share their excitement over the upcoming Darbar.

Preparing the Jamat

Local artists and cultural enthusiasts are rehearsing tirelessly in preparation for visit celebrations. Training is currently under way for the recitation of geets and devotional poetry as well as the performance of traditional dances, theatre, and expressions of shukrana.

Two major international Golden Jubilee initiatives will also be coming to Paris in the next few weeks.

A Mystical Journey will bring together nine world-class performances. Over 60 artists and musicians will lead the audience on a musical journey of the mind, body and soul. They will enlighten and entertain through performances of qawallis, ilahis, kalams and rock songs, as well as the unique dance of the whirling Sufis.

Rays of Light: Glimpses into the Ismaili Imamat is an exhibition that celebrates the tireless efforts of our beloved Mawlana Hazar Imam during the past 50 years. The exhibition seeks to provide its visitors with an exceptional experience that stimulates the intellect and stirs the soul.

Preparing for the world

The French Jamat is looking forward to welcoming Ismailis from around the world, as Mawlana Hazar Imam’s visit to France will be his final one of the Golden Jubilee.

Local volunteers are all undergoing training, aware that they will have a major role to play in the success of this auspicious occasion. New volunteer uniforms have been ordered for the visit, and special arrangements are being made to make sure that every murid from around the world feels welcome during their stay in Paris.
