Trips & Visits

Paris

Whether it’s the buzz around the iconic Eiffel Tower, the spare, tranquil beauty of the Place de la con corde, or the Sacre Coeur, you could have a heart of stone and Paris would still melt it.

The trip was an opportunity to experience this beautiful city in its fullest sense: whether by foot or by Metro, we saw famous landmarks and uncovered hidden gems.

Those students studying French, got lots of practical experience, speaking French whenever possible. (One particularly moving day was when students translated Charles de Gaulle's address to the French people inscribed at the Arc d'Triomphe.) French-speaking was optional for English students, whose focus was to explore the context behind some of the texts we study in our Paris Anthology.

So, if you like the idea of eating crepes, soaking up the view from the Eiffel Tower, or having a Dan Brown-inspired dash through the Louvre museum(OK, more of a gentle walk, really), then you would probably have enjoyed the Paris trip as much as we did.
