Paris! Paris! Paris!

Today was an adventure-filled day in Paris! After everyone had had a good night's sleep from nineteen hours of flying we were up early to see the sights of Paris. First we made the long walk from our hotel to Notre Dame where everyone was in awe of the magnificent church and beautiful stain glass windows and statues.

We quickly made our way to Paris's most iconic landmark - the Eiffel Tower. Although some of us had small fears of the great height, everyone took the lift to the very top to view the absolutely stunning view of the city.

We are now very confident making our way around Paris via the Metropolitan, despite Mrs Walkerden yelling out across a whole carriage "WE'RE GOING THE WRONG WAY!"... When in actual fact we were perfectly on course.

After a large feed of pizza for lunch we strolled down the Champs-Elysees and window-shopped until we reached the Arc de  Triomphe. From there we made our way to view the outside of The Louvre home of the Mona Lisa. For a bit of amusement and fun the adults decided to make us students ballroom dance in the square in front of  The Louvre for a photo opportunity (not to mention that there were many poeple watching us attempt this whilst looking very uncoordinated!).

We then had the chance  to spend some money in the countless number of gift shops.

After this long day we came back to the hotel for dinner and a well earned sleep, as we need to get up early to catch our bus to Arras and view various battle sites.
