French Trip

Bonjour!

In the final week of Term 1 a group of intrepid travellers, along with teachers Karen Austin and Saxon Wilson, made their way across the Indian Ocean to Europe and the beautiful country of France.

Our tour began in beautiful Spring weather and with sightseeing around Paris for a few days. Next, we took the bullet train (TGV) to the French Riviera in the Cote d’Azur to explore Nice and Monaco. From there, a tour bus took us around the entire country.

We headed to many glorious towns and cities in the regions of Provence, Occitanie, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, the Loire Valley, and Normandy. In these places we explored ancient castles and Roman ruins, extravagant cathedrals and chateau, even World War Two remains, all while passing through such picturesque countryside.

Our tour ended with another few days in beautiful Paris, and then on for our long trip home. Exhausted, but with fantastic lifelong memories, we thank God for this incredible opportunity and for keeping us all safe and well.
