French Exchange 2013: Paris

Today started with an early 8.00AM gathering in order to head for Paris. After a peaceful journey down, during which students exchanged stories and anecdotes from the weekend, we arrived just in time for lunch!

Once refueled, we started to walk up the famous Champs Elysées avenue (and past a certain Abercrombie store, which seemed to catch the attention of most of our girls????), ready to face the 284 steps up to the top of the Arc de Triomphe.

Thanks to some encouragement and support (even a push?) from Miss Streeter, all students made it alive!
Unexpectedly, the weather ended up being on our side and our official photographer let her talent out.

 

 

 

Students were then given some free time to roam the most famous avenue in the world (including the psychedelic Mercedes showroom) and we met up with them near the Abercrombie store (again?).

Our coach driver gave students a chance to tour the city and capture the most famous landmarks (Eiffel Tower, Le Louvre museum, the Assemblée Nationale palace (French Parliament), Concorde square, Académie Française, etc.) before we headed back to Lille for the last night with families.

 

A demain à Tomlinscote.
