Another trip to Paris today! This morning we attended a Mass at the Cathedral of Notre Dame in the morning. The Mass was in French and there were people from all over the world. Before the mass we had the opportunity to walk around the cathedral and learn that it was 900 years old!
After the Mass had finished we had lunch in the Champs de Mars beside the Eiffel Tower. For many of us the Eiffel Tower seemed much larger in real life. To get into the Eiffel Tower, we had to get on a lift, which carried us up to the second floor. The lifts run through the legs of the tower and there are long staircases running through the legs as well. The view from the second floor was amazing - we could see for miles.
Finally, to round up the day, we went on a boat ride (the bateaux mouches) down the river. The water was so beautiful, calm and blue. Afterwards we returned to the Campus where we had dinner and a really fun French lesson. We all ended up singing “Aux Champs Elysees’ with our French teachers.
To bed - we have a prize to see who has the tidiest room and we have another French lesson before we leave.
See you tomorrow!
