Et voila!

A few photos from Paris


We had a wonderful time, spending 4 days enjoying the parisian sun!

Pupils and staff enjoyed the boat ride along the Seine river, discovering the landmarks of the French capital city: la Tour Eiffel, l'Assemblée Nationale, Notre Dame de Paris, le Quai d'Orsay, and many more impressive monuments!









We all liked our picnic, not far from the Louvres Pyramid. Students had the opportunity to get some souvenirs in Montmartre after visiting the Basilique du Sacré Coeur.

On Thursday, pupils were ready half an hour earlier than necessary as we were to spend the day at DysneyLand Park.










Finally on Friday, almost everyone was able able to enjoy the beautiful view of the city you can get from the second floor of the eiffel Tower. We will be adding more pictures very soon.
