After a weekend of adventure, travel, and a little relaxing with our French families, the group reunited for our final day in Paris. Over the weekend, we had a soirée with pizza and ping pong at the beautiful house of one of our French hosts. The girls who were in town enjoyed the unusual pairing of escargot and American style Pizza. From there, we said au revoir to the girls traveling to Brittany, Normandy, and other exotic French locales.
Today we ventured into Paris for our final rendez-vous. Beneath the mystical, glass pyramid of the Louvre, we encountered many great masters from across the centuries. From the Venus de Milo to the Mona Lisa to the Raft of the Medusa, we learned about beauty and sacrifice.
After our artistic education, we moved on to lighter affairs-- shopping along the Champs Elysées. The girls ate, shopped, and viewed the Arc de Triomphe.
Our day ended with a farewell dinner at Centre Daniélou where the girls performed a magnificent rendition of our Foxcroft School Song. Tomorrow, we will be visiting the home of one of our French hosts to learn how to cook an authentic French meal, complete with table manners. From there, we will travel back to Daniélou to attend classes in the afternoon.
