Our First Day in Paris.

Our morning began at 7:30 when we were invited downstairs to eat breakfast together. We continued our day by entering our one and a half hour French lessons. We were split into two groups with our two teachers who presented us with an interactive and fun session where we all had a chance to improve and use our knowledge of French. We all enjoyed the lessons but still couldn’t wait to get in the coach and journey to central Paris for the first time in our trip.We arrived not long after and were greeted with the large elaborate buildings and the glass modern structures that are dotted all over Paris’ streets.The coach stopped its journey at the gates leading to the Louvre museum, we passed it and took the beautiful walk down to the gardens of Tuilleries where we ate our lunch as a group and talked about what we were going to do for the rest of our time in the city. After sitting in the warm sun for a few minutes we made our way towards the Louvre museum that we had seen before and were split up into groups and were handed questionnaires to answer. We made a small competition for our groups in which we had to take a creative photo in front of one of the most famous statues in the museum. We had free time when we could look around. We even saw some very famous pictures like the Mona Lisa! For the remains of the afternoon we had time to buy some simple souvenirs to remember our day. 

When we arrived back at the Campus we were shown the crypt of the Primary School by Monsieur Richard. We then went to the Equestrian Club where we had delicious spaghetti bolognaise and ice-cream. We walked back to the campus and finished off the day with a football match. It was a great day!
