French native and New Orleans resident Pierre Pichon Gypsy Trio will serenade guests as costumed characters mingle with guests Napoleon (Mikko), Joan of Arc (Caye Mitchell), and a Marcel Marceau impersonator.  Mikko (NAPOLEON) has portrayed some of the greatest people to affect New Orleans, including Andrew Jackson, Mark Twain, and of course Napoleon Bonaparte, even writing a lyrical play about L'empereur, "Jour de Gloire" which garnered him many awards.  Caye Mitchell  (JOAN OF ARC) led the first annual Twelfth Night St. Joan of Arc Parade on horseback in armor through the French Quarter. A New Orleans native of French heritage and a member of the New Orleans Posse, she rides in several Mardi Gras parades and runs a therapeutic riding program for disabled children.
