After a long trip, starting from CAS 420 to Paris, we safely made it to France at 8: 30 Friday morning. Even though everyone was quite tired, we were still excited about being in Paris together.
After a quick break at the hotel, we walked to Bercy Village to enjoy some frittes and Vin Rouge with Natalie, our EF Tour Guide. The students walked around and had lunch at Frog Pub in one of the many restaurants in the area. There's a pic of the nice pastries available in one of the shops.
We then got a quick lesson in the Metro Ettiquette, from Ms Natalie, make sure you get on quickly and stay together at the stops....we don't want to lose anyone in the Metro!
We walked around Paris and saw some of the sites, the Modern Architecture of the Pompidou Center set in a historic district and the stained glass windows of St Eustache on the Right Bank of Paris. Modeled on Notre Dame, it was built between 1532 and 1754. Cardinal Richelieu was baptised here and Moliere had his funeral here. It also hosted the First Communion of King Louis IV....whose home we will to visit today.....
We seem to be feeling better this morning after a good night's sleep and look forward to our visit to Versaille and Notre Dame. I hope Paris is ready for a visit from the students at Kean University........The bus is leaving soon, so I better get some croisants and cafe...a nice big cup....Au Revoir for now.....scott
