Paris by Land, Water and Air!

The day began with a hearty Parisian breakfast to energize us for a busy, exciting day.  After boarding the bus, we toured various areas of Paris, seeing the Avenue des Champs-Élysées and Napoleon's Tomb. Some historians question whether Napoleon Bonaparte is actually buried in the Eglise du Dome Church at the Hotel des Invalides.  The most wonderful stop on the bus tour was at a scenic view of the Effiel Tower.  Students took many beautiful pictures at this stop. Make sure you ask to see these wonderful pictures!

After seeing Paris by land, students had free time to explore the musée du Louvre. Next up was Paris by water! Students took a boat tour by water on the Seine River.  Before boarding the boat, some students purchased locks and left their mark on the Love Lock Bridge. On the boat, we passed under many of the 37 bridges that cross the Seine River and saw all the beautiful sites and people sitting along the river.

Our final tour of Paris was 56 stories in the air from the observation deck of Montparnasse Tower at night. Students were able to see the Eiffel Tower light show at 9:00 pm, which was breathtaking.

After traversing Paris by land, water, air and underground on Le Metro, students are tucked away in their rooms resting for the three hour trip to Bordeaux in the morning!
