Jour numéro quatre a Paris, et maintenant nous parlons
couramment le Français (avec un petit peu d'aide).
The concerning lack of pupils at
obnoxious-o'clock-teacher-led-boot-camp continues, but the engagement and
enthusiasm for eating is still palpable: peculiar and concerning behaviour from
teenagers... we'll have to hand this mystery over to the parents!
After we flip-reversed the morning's activities from yesterday (so that everyone had a chance to visit a
bakery and do a cooking course), we headed to the Jardine Luxembourg where there
were sights, sounds, atmosphere and a bucket load of rain.
After another short jaunt on our much loved coach, we
arrived at the Eiffel Tower for a boat tour along the Seine in - and this
sentence should not be taken lightly - some glorious sunshine! The irresistible
allure of a childish perspective photo with the eiffel tower proved too much
for Mr. Birchmore and Mr. Seymour, but, luckily there were some pupils on hand
to roll their eyes and disown them appropriately.
Then, the inevitable question... How do you end such a
wonderful week in Paris? Food... Food is the answer! More specifically, a
wonderful meal in a lovely Parisian restaurant followed by a coach disco and an
impromptu - and disconcertingly brilliant given the quality of the mic and
speakers - a cappella session by Sody on the coach home; Mr. Birchmore's
enthusiastic rendition of Whitney's "I Wanna Dance with Somebody" was
also worthy of note... but for very different reasons!
