My sometime teacher and good friend is, alas, not on this list, so I'm writing
for her. She's going to Clarifest in Paris this summer. I'm not (alas.) Can
anyone help her with two questions:

1. She'd like to visit the VanDoren reed making factory. Does anyone
know where it is, and/or what procedures, if any, one must go through to get a
tour? Are there any special handshakes necessary at the door? :-)

2. I've told her the best music stores are on Rue Rome in Paris. Is
that correct? Can anyone help with names/locations in Paris, and London, where
she will also be traveling?

Thanks.
