I don't know if plans went as recorded, but Livy wrote Grace King on May
28, 1891, that the family was going to Gascoigne, then Paris, Geneva, and
"some German baths" for herself and Twain's rheumatism. "The girls we shall
leave in a French family in Geneva," she wrote. Then, the Bayreuth festival
for ten days and perhaps a French town for six weeks. Then to settle in
Berlin for the winter where Clara would study piano and Susy voice (no
mention of Jean there).

Hope this is of interest.
