Bonjour! Once again, we've had some beautiful, fantastic days in Paris, and we can't believe
demain is our final Friday in France. There are still so many more French words to be learned, museums and gardens to be seen, and crepes to be eaten. Despite a few minor hiccups, such as Miles getting un petit cold, Mme Lyons giving up on her lost luggage completely, and Betsy sleeping with an adorable cat that she's mildly allergic to, we've been impressed that students have kept up with the quick pace of immersion life in Paris. Gilly even learned the entire rules to a new French card game with her host family
en français(!!); suffice to say, she didn't win the first few rounds... During our days together, we've seen many more sites, and we we were especially in awe of the Musee D'Orsay and the Louvre. We couldn't even get Matthew to leave the Rodin museum today, and we just adore how much many of our students love the art here. To capture these moments, yesterday Mme Diederich gave the students fountain pens and French notebooks, and we thank her mightily for providing a space to write down our thoughts-- especially since the trip is going by too fast. Luckily we still have the weekend ahead of us in Paris, which gives Mme Leroy the chance to pet at least 43 more Parisienne family dogs. (Yes, every dog here wears an adorable beret. Jk.) Sending much love to our families at home! -Mmes. Leroy, Lyons et Diederich

Wow, what a stretch- seeing some of the greatest art in the history of the world plus (surprise) Versailles. So glad to hear how people are soaking up the indescribable culture (with a delectable crepe here and there).
Thank you so much for posting pictures of the trip and some details of the adventures you have been having! It's so fun to see -- I check for updates all the time. What an incredible trip -- I'm so happy everyone is having fun speaking French and soaking up the French culture.
