Bastille Day with AUP DC

Alumni and former students are invited to join the AUP DC Alumni Chapter to celebrate France's fête nationale. 

Part 1 | Bastille Day Walking Tour at 6:30 pm

We will meet at Lafayette Square's SE corner (Lafayette's statue) and take an approximately 1.5-hour, one-mile tour of Lafayette Square and the surrounding neighborhood, discussing the many connections between the District and our French allies. This private tour, led by Off the Mall Walking Tours highlights French connections from the Revolutionary War hero General Marquis de Lafayette to the original planner of our Nation's Capital Pierre L'Enfant. Space is limited so please sign up ASAP!
