Year 7 Paris Bonjour, je m’appelle Will et je vais vous parler de mon voyage à Paris.
Mountain. We got back and slumped to bed where we slept like logs!
Monday 1st July 2013 I got up early so that I could get to school on time only to find that our car had a puncture! Luckily I got a taxi and still arrived at school on time to catch the coach to France! After a long coach drive and train journey, we were in the centre of Paris. First we went to the Sacré-Coeur, which is a big cathedral with amazing ceilings and architecture. After that we went to the Place du Tertre. It was a small town square packed with artists. Many of my friends had their picture drawn by the artists who make you look like a cartoon. After spending a couple of hours wondering round and getting a drink, we looked at some amazing views before going to the Le Panorama for dinner. After a meal of chicken and chips, we got on the coach and drove to the hotel, by now it was 22:30 and we were very tired. We got our keys settled into our rooms and tucked up into bed but not literally as it was so hot!
Wednesday 3rd July 2013 Today we had yet another tasty breakfast at the hotel before heading out to the Palais de Versailles. When we got there we had our lunch and then went into the main palace where we saw the Hall of Mirrors and the King and Queen’s quarters. The walls and ceilings were caked with paintings and gold with some pictures covering the whole wall. After regrouping we went into the gardens where we all got an ice cream before continuing down towards the lake. At the far end of the garden, a Princess has had a fake village made for her and she used to live in it pretending she was a milk maid, her dream job. Afterwards we got back on the coach before being taken to the Eiffel Tower! We went to the second floor of the Tower before looking out around at the amazing views of Paris. Next we took the 710 steps back down the Eiffel Tower which surprisingly, isn’t as bad as it sounds. By now we were starving so we went to the Monte Carlo for dinner, whilst there, we decided that we would go and look in Le Louvre the next day. We drove home to a nice comfortable bed.
Tuesday 2nd July 2013 We woke up to the smell of breakfast, a massive buffet full of all sorts of jam, bread, yogurts and cheese etc. We were all very excited as today, our first full day; we were going to Disneyland Paris. We spent the day going up and down and up and down… We had dinner and watched the magical parade. At 22:00 we left Disney Land all stuffed with Disney merchandise and feeling dizzy from Space
Thursday 4th July 2013 We had breakfast and then drove to Le Louvre where we went underground before going above ground in the Museum which was packed with tourists. First we walked down a massive hall full of paintings big and small before heading into a particularly crowded room were the Mona Lisa was hung on the wall. After some ducking and diving, I got to the front and got some good pictures and it actually turns out to be a lot smaller than you are expecting, before trying to work my way out of the room again. We then went and saw the Venus de Milo, the statue with no arms. We then went underground again to see the original walls of Paris.
