Over forty students had the opportunity to visit Paris and what an opportunity this was.
From their first time travelling on the ferry or driving on the other side of the road, to tasting various French food and visiting historical buildings, our students experienced a different set of culture, attitude and traditions. The whole continental breakfast was a hit every morning with French patisseries and baguettes just out of the oven!
The students visited Montmartre Hill first, discovering its street artists and were very respectful once in the main basilica. That was followed with a tour of the Tower of Montparnasse and its 57 floors and panoramic views, the Eiffel tower and finally a river cruise around Notre Dame and the Invalids. All this excitement was broken up with lunch at a Flunch restaurant and some tea in the Xe arrondissement.
On returning to Aspire Mrs J Barnett said, "It was a very successful trip and, as always, our students did the academy proud with their exemplary behaviour."
