Weekend en France

 

Good morning GSA Family and Friends,

It’s Monday morning here in France, and classes are back in full swing after our first full weekend in Paris. All of our groups are out and about, with the French classes continuing their Guide touristique assignments, and the English class visiting one of the sites Hemingway frequented while in Paris.

Over the weekend, a dozen students ventured to Vimy Ridge and Arras for our first optional excursion of the program. We saw the Canadian National Memorial and had the chance to explore the tunnels and trenches. All were in agreement that it was a very sobering experience. Afterwards, we visited Arras for lunch and a tour of the town. It was extremely picturesque.

Otherwise, students had the opportunity to explore in small groups; many opted to do some shopping while others got some much need rest. On Sunday evening, the GSA Grand Tour Europe (Departure One) arrived and we enjoyed a pizza dinner with them.

À plus tard !
