Bonjour!
Today, we visited the Louvre! We were given little headsets and matching ipods to be able to hear what our guide was saying. Our informative guide took us through many rooms and described the making of the Louvre with great detail. For instance, she told us in French about how the former castle was built and then how the various kings and queens built onto the castle to make what the Louvre is today. Then in French and some English, she led us through some of the many rooms that holds many paintings and sculptures. We saw the Mona Lisa (La Joconde), some paintings of Delacroix, some sculptures of Michelangelo, and some others. We saw the beautiful architecture, including the ceilings. In the end, we had a great time and learned a lot about the Louvre!-Maddy K
Bonjour!
We just finished our tour of the Louvre and are reflecting on our experience. We started by learning about the history and construction of the louvre itself and many of us noted it was very interesting. Then we took a brief stop at the small sphinx where our tour guide told us about theEegyptian history in the Louvre. The first part of the tour was all in French to help with our French immersion. Then we visited famous sculptures, paintings and took time to stop at the Mona Lisa. The whole experience was very fun and interesting. --Margaret S.

This
morning we went to the Louvre and had a tour of the architecture and some
important works of art. I enjoyed learning about the history and timeline of
the building. We walked through what used to be the moat of the original castle
of Charles V and then through the rest of the museum. Of course we stopped to
see the Mona Lisa, the Le Radeau de Méduse, Liberté Guidant le Peuple, and some famous
sculptures. Our tour guide was très gentille and spoke to us mostly in French
and only a bit in English. Now we are
at Comédie Française drinking
hot chocolate and writing for the blog :). --Olivia S.

Salut!
Chiara, my correspondent from Paris, took me and a few others on a beautiful stroll
along the Seine while watching the sunset. Once the sun went down and the Eiffel
Tower lit up, they took us to the Palais de Chaillot to watch the light show. It was beautiful
and an amazing view in Paris.--Lily K.

WOW, what a day! Love hearing the amazing sites you saw, the places you encountered, the lessons you learned, and warms my heart to see all the smiles (in photo after photo). Jealous of your incredibly rich cultural, historical and artistic experiences...and all in Francais. Awesome! Impressive! Unique! Good to hear about your times with your correspondents. Keep learning and looking forward to seeing how the sophs come back to enrich their history classes. Well done!
So fun! What a great trip! Sophie’s going to be thrilled you stopped at l’as du falafel! ;). And j’adore the Place des Vosges and les Jardins du Palais Royal! And the Louvre and the Pompidou center as well as a musical?! What a day!!!
