After two years in the making, our French students finally fulfilled their dreams of traveling to the City of Light: Paris, France. They spent a magical week discovering all of the city’s major attractions, such as the Louvre Museum, the palace of Versailles, the Luxembourg gardens, Notre Dame, and the Arc de Triomphe. They spent an evening soaring to the top of the Eiffel Tower, and just at sunset, they were able to create an incredible memory by watching it sparkle together from underneath. They were immersed in culture by taking cooking lessons, a bike tour, a Seine River cruise, visiting a perfumery, and even attending a real French wedding. Duck à l’orange, Boeuf Bourguignon, escargots, and plenty of viennoiseries were just some of the culinary specialties that our students were able to sample this week. Ultimately, it was an unforgettable trip that created memories to last a lifetime!
