Today, Wed May 6th....
After meeting with our group at the FAIP Jean Monnet Study Center, we went on a tour around Paris to get a preview of what the city has to offer. Our tour guide, cheesy of course, took us to see the Hotel de Invalides, look of the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame and passed by te Lourve. She would call getting off the bus to get a "quicky picky." It was quite funny to see the whole group following a tour guide holding up a frog umbrella leading us. The night time arrived and everyone got dressed up in their snassy clothes and headed to our group dinner. We ate at the chez clement which had pots and spoons and kitchen items hanging from every corner. The restaurant offered us thyme chicken with mashed potatos and a blackberry wine to drink. And for desert we had my favorite... yummmy creme brulee.
Since we were on Champs-Elysées we went to visit the arc de triomphe. This arch was built by order of Napolean to honor the military and commemorate the tomb of the unknown soldier. If you climb to the top, great views of Paris can be seen, where we saw the Eiffel Tower perform its light show. It was a great close to the day which helped me get to see some places I could visit on my own.
