France Tour 2016

Saturday 26th November 2016
Arrived in Paris


 After a long 20 hour journey the French group have arrived in Paris.  Tired but happy and excited to be there.
All students have been given the task of researching a particular aspect of one of the places we are visiting. Ruth began our walking tour today of Montparnasse Cemetery by telling the group about Serge Gainsbourg.  This cemetery is the resting place of some of Paris's famous personalities.
Laurel told us more about Jean Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir.



After the cemetery the group went to Marche Edgar Quinet joining the Paris residents who were shopping for their weekly vegetables, fruit, chicken, seafood, bread, cheeses and all kinds of pâtisseries.  Tara, Allanah, Rachel and Kate chose baguettes and raspberries.


Next stop was the beautiful Luxembourg Gardens.

Tara shared some information about the Tower.


The end of the first day in Paris!
