Day 3: European Adventure

Bonjour!

We are now in Paris! What a full day! The kidos and chaperones were up at 4am to fly from Barcelona to Paris. Upon our arrival, we took a tour around the city via bus and stopped off to see some of the iconic Parisian sights: The Eiffel Tower, the Arch de Triumph, the Louvre, The Notre Dame, and much more. After taking a bus tour around the city and eating a delicious local lunch, we ventured off on foot down the Champs-Elysees to do some shopping. The kids went to French Boutiques, experienced High Street Shopping, and even tasted of some of France's delights: J'aime le chocolat! @ a local patisserie, where you can find all sorts of chocolates and sweets.

After shopping we continued on to Mont Pierre, the highest point in Paris to see the city, experience the locals bringing palm branches to one of the their most iconic Basilicas, and then onto see La Boheme.....an area near Mont Pierre, where artists such as Vincent Van Gogh and Renoir lived and worked. And for many years lived a Bohemian lifestyle and traded their paintings for food. For dinner we ate at a fabulous French Restaurant and and then headed back on the Metro to our hotel for the night.

The kids wanted me to tell you that they love Paris, Love their amis [friends], LOVE the chocolate, and LOVE YOU!!!!

Have a wonderful night! Until tomorrow....Ms. P & the team!
