Cézanne
Known as the father of modern
painting, French painter Paul Cézanne
is one of the great Post-Impressionists, though his work was largely
unrecognized and misunderstood
during his lifetime. Born in Aix-enProvence in 1839, Cézanne briefly
studied law, but soon made the
decision to paint full time in spite of
his family’s objections. He moved to
Paris, where he met artist Camille
Pissarro. Through Pissarro, Cézanne
began to work and exhibit with the
other Impressionists, but was never
fully accepted into their circle.
Towards the end of his life, Cézanne
returned to Aix, where he painted
the Provençal landscape in near
seclusion. At the time of his death in
1906, Cézanne had finally gained the
recognition he deserved as an artist
and his work went on to influence
many artists.

Cézanne
Known as the father of modern
painting, French painter Paul Cézanne
is one of the great Post-Impressionists, though his work was largely
unrecognized and misunderstood
during his lifetime. Born in Aix-enProvence in 1839, Cézanne briefly
studied law, but soon made the
decision to paint full time in spite of
his family’s objections. He moved to
Paris, where he met artist Camille
Pissarro. Through Pissarro, Cézanne
began to work and exhibit with the
other Impressionists, but was never
fully accepted into their circle.
Towards the end of his life, Cézanne
returned to Aix, where he painted
the Provençal landscape in near
seclusion. At the time of his death in
1906, Cézanne had finally gained the
recognition he deserved as an artist
and his work went on to influence
many artists.

Cézanne
Known as the father of modern
painting, French painter Paul Cézanne
is one of the great Post-Impressionists, though his work was largely
unrecognized and misunderstood
during his lifetime. Born in Aix-enProvence in 1839, Cézanne briefly
studied law, but soon made the
decision to paint full time in spite of
his family’s objections. He moved to
Paris, where he met artist Camille
Pissarro. Through Pissarro, Cézanne
began to work and exhibit with the
other Impressionists, but was never
fully accepted into their circle.
Towards the end of his life, Cézanne
returned to Aix, where he painted
the Provençal landscape in near
seclusion. At the time of his death in
1906, Cézanne had finally gained the
recognition he deserved as an artist
and his work went on to influence
many artists.

NOT INCLUDED-Fees for passports and, if applicable, visas, entry/departure fees; personal
gratuities; laundry and dry cleaning; excursions, wines, liquors, mineral waters and meals not
mentioned in this brochure under included features; travel insurance; all items of a strictly
personal nature.
MOBILITY AND FITNESS TO TRAVEL-The right is retained to decline to accept or to retain
any person as a member of this trip who, in the opinion of AHI Travel is unfit for travel or
whose physical or mental condition may constitute a danger to themselves or to others on the
trip, subject only to the requirement that the portion of the total amount paid which corresponds to the unused services and accommodations be refunded. Passengers requiring special assistance, including without limitation those who permanently or periodically use a
wheelchair, must be accompanied by someone who is fit and able to assist them, and who will
be totally responsible for providing all required assistance.
AIR TRANSPORTATION-The price of air transportation offered by AHI Travel is based on Advance Purchase Excursion fares. After tickets are issued, penalties up to 100% of the ticket
price may be levied. If connecting flights are requested, special promotional fares may be
used, in which case penalties of as much as 100% may be assessed by the airlines if reservations are changed or canceled after ticketing. After departure, if the reservations are changed,
you will be charged the higher, all year Economy class fare. VARIATIONS TO THE GROUP ITINERARY MUST BE REQUESTED NO LATER THAN 60 DAYS PRIOR TO DEPARTURE. Passengers
who choose to make their own airline reservations independently will be wholly responsible
for any airline fees or penalties incurred as a result of program cancellation and/or change in
travel dates, or airline schedule(s).
BAGGAGE-Baggage restrictions vary according to the airline policy and the class of service
flown. Details will be provided with your pre-departure information. Baggage allowances are
subject to change by the carrier without notice. Excess baggage charges for additional or oversized/overweight pieces are expensive and not included in your trip price; plan your wardrobe
accordingly. Transport of baggage and personal effects is at the owner's risk throughout the
travel program.
AUTHORITY TO USE IMAGES AND AUDIO RECORDINGS-On occasion, AHI Travel obtains,
from its staff, or from trip participants, photographic or video images of passengers and trip
activities. By participating in this travel program, you authorize AHI Travel, without providing
compensation to you, or obtaining additional approvals from you, to include photographic and
video recordings of you, as well as voice recordings included with any videos, in AHI Travel's
sales, marketing, advertising, publicity and/or training activities.
RESPONSIBILITY-AHI Travel and the Sponsoring Association do not own or operate any entity
which provides goods or services for this program, and act only as agents for the independent
suppliers of travel conveyance, transport, accommodations or other services. All such persons
or entities are independent contractors. As a result, AHI Travel and the Sponsoring Association are not liable for any negligence or willful act of any such person or entity or any third
person. In addition and without limitation, AHI Travel and the Sponsoring Association are not
responsible for any delays, delayed departure or arrival, missed carrier connections, loss,
death, damage or injury to person or property or accident, mechanical defect, failure or negligence of any nature howsoever caused in connection with any accommodations, transportation or other services or for any substitution of hotels or of common carrier equipment, with
or without notice, or for any additional expenses occasioned thereby. Dates, Program Details
and Tour costs, although given in good faith and based on tariffs, exchange rates and other information current at the time of printing, are subject to change at or before the time of departure. No revisions of the printed itinerary or its included features are anticipated; however,
the right is reserved to make any changes, with or without notice, that might become necessary, with the mutual understanding that any additional expenses will be paid by the individual
passenger. Baggage and personal effects are the sole responsibility of the owners at all times.
If the entire program is canceled for any reason, participants shall have no claim other than
for a full refund. By forwarding the deposit, the passenger certifies that he/she has no physical, mental or other condition of disability that would create a hazard for himself/herself or
other passengers and accepts the terms of this contract set out herein and in more specific
pre-departure passenger information. The airlines and other transportation companies concerned are not to be held responsible for any act, omission, or event, during the time passengers are not on board their conveyances. The passage contract in use, when issued, shall
constitute the sole contract between the company(ies) and the passenger and/or purchaser
of this trip.
CANCELLATION-In addition to airline cancellation penalties, all cancellations for any reason
whatsoever will be subject to a $250 per person administrative fee. {Please note that you may
choose, at the time of cancellation, to apply the withheld administrative fee to a future AHI
Travel program that will operate in the current calendar year or year following.} Cancellation
from 120 days to 76 days prior to departure will result in forfeiture of 10% of the entire cost of
the trip per person; 75-30 days, 50% of the trip cost per person; cancellation from 29 days up
to the time of departure will result in 100% forfeiture of the entire cost of the trip. TRIP CANCELLATION INSURANCE IS AVAILABLE. AN APPLICATION WILL BE SENT AFTER YOU RESERVE. All cancellations must be submitted in writing to AHI International Corporation.
