Bonjour!
Our trip so far has been spectacular. The first day, we had a bus tour bringing us through Paris. We were dropped off at L'Hotel de Ville (City Hall) and started a walking tour of Le Marais (The Marshes) with a guide. This area was called this because it would always flood, making it look like a marsh. The last thing we visited that day was Sacre-Coeur, the basilica on the hill in the north of Paris. In it, you could really feel the inspiration from God that the builders had to build the magnificent church. On Monday (today), we walked the Jardin des Tulieries and received a tour from a guide of the Louvre museum. We saw many works of art, including Greek sculptures like the Venus de Milo, Egyptian ones like a model of the Sphinx, and the infamous Mona Lisa. After, we rode a bateau mouche, cruising the Seine, and providing lots of photo opportunities. That was our last sightseeing event in Paris; we took a bullet train to Rennes, and a bus to Lycée de la Salle, where we met our host siblings and families. My family is very hospitable and loves having me here. I can't wait to start my day tomorrow and do all new things. It's about 9:45pm here, and I will be going off to bed. Stay tuned for more!
