Voyages+2009

Bonjour! Le photo au-dessus est de Notre Dame (Possiblement, ce photo peut-être le meilleur photo que j'ai pris; je ne suis pas une bonne photographe). Notre voyage de France l'année passé était superb! J'adore Paris; il y a une énergie on ne peut pas expliquer. Nous sommes arrivés en Paris et nous avons visité la ville pour trois jours. Notre groupe a marché beaucoup, et chaque soir nous étions fatigués. Tout en nous étions en Paris, nous avons vu la Tour Eiffel, Le Louvre (et La Joconde), L'Arc de Triomphe, Versailles, et des autres sites de tourisme. Mais, le dernier jour que nous étions en Paris, Monsieur nous a emmené <>. Il nous a montré des arrondisements que beaucoup de personnes ne pas voir. Nous pourrions voir une autre côté de Paris; le < > Paris. Après, nous avons voyagé en Provence et en Nice. Le paysage était plus belle, et nous sommes entrés dans la Méditerranée! Il y avait aussi le meilleur gelato! Je n'oublierai jamais mon voyage; il était une expérience que je chérirai toujours parce que j'ai appris beaucoup de la culture de France.

Getting to see France was an amazing opportunity. We spent the first several days in Paris, visiting the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, Versailles, and tons of others. We also got to see many of the different neighborhoods we would not have gotten to see visiting by ourselves; through this, we were able to see more of the culture and everyday life. Then we traveled down to Provence and ended in Nice. The scenery was amazing, especially the Mediterranean. The trip was such an amazing experience because I was able to see and learn so much more about France, the people, and the culture.

Au revoir!

Bonjour! Getting to go to France with Mr. Cone last April was definitely my favorite trip ever! It was my first time out of the country, and it was SO much fun. We got to spend time in Paris, Provence, and Nice. My favorite was Paris. I LOVED the Eiffel Tower. The highlight of the entire trip for me was definitely going to the top of the Eiffel Tower. After taking French for 8 years and learning about France and the culture there, actually seeing everything in person is unbelievable! I totally freaked out when I saw the Eiffel Tower for the first time. Some other favorites of mine were Sacr//é// Coeur, Versailles, and the Louvre. Being in France made me realize how well I can understand the language. I also loved ordering food in French and having casual conversations with people in stores. I hope that sometime in the future I'll be able to go back and experience it all again!
