Greetings to you all!
I am pleased to report that we made it safely to Biarritz and that students are adjusting to their host families as well as to the first day of classes. In the two posts that follow you will find a recap of our séjour à Paris.
Jour 1 (à Paris)- vendredi, le 11/6
After depositing our bags at the hotel in Montparnasse and putting on our walking shoes, we were off to tour with Corinne, our local tour guide. We first marveled at the architecture of Notre Dame - a must for anyone traveling to Paris. We then strolled to the Conciergerie, where Marie Antoinette was detained and subsequently met her fate. From there we visited the Palais de Justice, the French equivalent to our Supreme Court. We took une pause to have icecream at Paris's most famous glaciers, Berthillon. Following Berthillon, we went to the Place Dauphine, crossed the Pont Neuf and ended our tour at the Palais Royal.
Later that evening, we returned to our hotel to freshen up before heading to the Crêperie du Breton. It was an immersive experience, as students ordered their meals en français, and conversed with two native French students of Corrine's who dined with us.
