Paris - Day 1

Ahhh, Gay Paris (well, the outskirts of Gay Paris anyway), famed for the Eiffel Tower, Culture, Romance, Haute Couture and… silly games and dance-offs? Welcome to Paris - Latymer style!

Unperturbed and not remotely jaded by a long day on a coach the pupils settled in quicker than a French person dismisses my French accent, and threw themselves into some team bonding, led by the exceptionally professional and engaging PGL staff. Running races, acting like you’d lost £1m, dance-offs and bin-bag-couture all came naturally to the West Londoners and it was fantastic to see the Year 9s and 10s getting to know each other and chatting away happily. 

The only downside to the day so far? Our evening ends with the mood of the group in the hands of the England football team… oh, dear!
