Day 1
Day 1
After a tiring full day of flying to Paris, we arrived at our hotel and after a quick break, we headed to Notre Dame for a tour. After a delicious lunch, we headed to the Eiffel Tower and took an elevator to the top of it to see a beautiful view of Paris and took many photos. We ended the night with dinner and got back to our hotel to get a good night’s rest.
The next day, we went to the Louvre in the morning and then Professor Rudosky took a group to a French school, where we sat in on a class and compared the American school system to the French school system. We ended the day by visiting the Sacre Coeur cathedral and got dinner at a fondue restaurant where someone confidently ordered a potato as a drink (we’re still learning!). Hoping tonight we will have a good night rest and be ready for tomorrow.
