A Farnham choir is ready to make a French connection as they’re off to Paris on their annual summer tour.

The St Thomas-on-The Bourne choir will say Au Revoir to Surrey this weekend as they’re crossing the English Channel for a magnifique few days of sounds and sightseeing.

They will perform in three churches between the Olympics and Paralympics with more than 40 adults, boys and girls making the journey.

They will perform in Saint-Laurent, the American Cathedral and Saint-Sulpice during a packed programme which will include a visit to the Eiffel Tour and a boat ride on the Seine.

The choir will also perform their traditional post-tour concert at St. Thomas on September 7.

There is a choir recruitment evening on Friday, September 13, from 5.30pm for boys aged 7 to 12 and girls aged 7 to 14 who are interested in singing. For details contact [email protected]
