Paris Trip
In July, 35 Year 7, Year 8 and Year 9 pupils went on
a long weekend to Paris. After stopping in the
pretty town of Arras on the way there, we arrived
at the Château de Grande Romaine on the
outskirts on Paris. Whilst there in the evenings, we
enjoyed doing sports, making crepes and even
singing karaoke!
On Saturday, we visited the impressive Château de
Fontainebleau, former Royal Palace and residence
of Napoleon. After that, we set off for the Tour
Montparnasse, where you get an impressive 360
degree of Paris from the terrace.
Sunday was spent sightseeing in Paris, getting
great views again but from the Arc de Triomphe
this time and picnicking by the Louvre Museum.
We saw lots of famous landmarks such as the
Notre Dame cathedral and the Musée d’Orsay
whilst we cruised down the River Seine. You can’t
leave Paris without eating in the Bouillon-Chartier
restaurant and it was delicious as always. The
pupils did themselves proud speaking to the
waiters in French.
On the last day, we fitted in a visit to the Stade de
France, still basking in the glory of France’s World
Cup victory. This was a behind the scenes look on
and off the pitch and well worth a visit. Thank you
to all the pupils who were a pleasure to take and
to Mrs Joynson, Mrs Barratt, Mr A.Thomas and
Adrian, our driver from Pulhams, who all helped
make this an enjoyable and successful visit.
