Versaille and Fondue! What a great day!

Day Two.. Musee D'Orsay, Champs-Elysee, Arc de Triomphe and Batman!

Today we visited the famous Musee D’Orsay located in the center of Paris. The museum is home to several famous works of art including paintings by Van Gogh, Monet, Tissot, Cézanne, Renoir, Manet, Degas and many more. After the museum, we walked to the Champs-Elysee where students enjoyed free time and had the opportunity to walk up the Arc de Triomphe, commissioned by Napoleon to honor those lost in the French Revolutionary War. After a wonderful group dinner, we made out way to the movie theatre and watched "The Dark Knight Rises".. Then off to bed for a good-nights sleep before Versailles tomorrow!

Paris day one.. Sainte-Chapelle, Notre Dame, Boat tour and the Eiffel Tower!

We started our first full day in Paris with a walk to Sainte-Chapelle (the Holy Chapel) unique and famous for its stained glass windows. We then made our way to Notre Dame. Students had time to grab some lunch and explore the well-known Latin Quarter, home to the oldest bookstore in Paris, Shakespeare and Company. After lunch we regrouped at Notre Dame and took a tour inside and up into the bell towers.  After our visit we walked along the river Seine to the famous Pont-Neuf Bridge where we began our boat tour of Paris! For dinner, we watched the moon rise with a picnic  in front of the Eiffel Tower!
