All set to partners and cross over turning single 3/2;

cross below 2nd couple, cast up to places and turn single.
1st corners cross, 2nd corners cross; hands-4 half way round, 
1st couple cast down while 2nd couple move up.

Note: The signature "Trip to Paris" crossing at the start of the dance is
often too dizzy-making for some dancers. If you need to, fake it!

**A TRIP TO PARIS**\\
"A passion for travel swept England in the late eighteenth century.
The grand tour of the Continent was considered a must for young men
of means, and less ambitious trips to various corners of the British Isles
were also the rage. Books on travel proliferated. Part of this
eagerness to explore the homeland was attributable to improved
highways and more comfortable coaches."\\
Naturally, eighteenth-century English dancers danced "trips" to
everywhere as well, to Spas, cities, colonies and taverns, from Bath to
Tunbridge, Abbotsbury to York, Georgia to Jamaica, and from the Bell
to the Oaks,
