We got to take the scenic route to avoid the protests and made a stop in the city of Beauvais before heading to the airport. We visited the cathedral, with the highest choir in the world and its stunning astronomical clock. After a minor panick with our luggage, we were set to fly and landed on time to watch Ireland beat France at the rugby...

Our students said goodbye to their French families in Rennes before taking the train to Paris.

 

We visited Montmartre, its view and its impressive church.

 

We then saw the Eiffel Tower, before taking a boat along the river. We stopped to see the Louvre and Mona Lisa.

 

Students were then let free to walk along the Champs élysées and watched the daily military parade by the Arc de Triomphe.

 

Well deserved dinner at a local brasserie, before going up the Eiffel Tower by night!

 

Back to the hotel for our last night in France. Very busy but enjoyable day!

 

Despite the strikes and protests, we hope to fly back today Friday

Students were fully immersed in class today! They got to discover the school a bit more and experiences what school is like in France. Monsieur Fevrier also gave them an interesting presentation about Britanny.

Here we are at Day 6 already:

 

"Busy weekend with their host families, our students enjoyed all sorts of activities and a perfect weather in Saint Malo for many!

 

Today we visited Mont Saint Michel and had a lovely hot chocolate offered by Lycée Saint-Martin!"
