Paris Day 2


After an early start, we drove into the centre of Paris (along with all the commuters). Half the group did a 3 hour guided cycling tour around Paris, with some stop offs for photos and tasters in the boulangeries. They successfully navigated the streets and avoided the crazy traffic and had a lovely time. The other half of the group did a 3 course cookery class at ‘La Cuisine Paris’ cookery school. They all learned some very highly skilled cooking skills and made a delicious meal- vegetable tarte tartin, followed by chicken stuffed with mushrooms and pesto with a salad and a white chocolate mousse to finish off. Yum!
 
After lunch, we all joined back together and went to visit Sacre Coeur and explore the arty streets of Monte Marte. Most enjoyed a cooling pre-dinner swim once we got back at the centre. After dinner the students enjoyed a cheese tasting evening with a cheese-related quiz and cheesey joke round. We’ve certainly packed a lot in and are having lots of fun!
