Day 20: Travel Home

Today we got up bright and early for our flight home! We had a great time in Europe, but it was definitely nice to get home after our long flight and longer landing!

Day 19: Paris

Today we started off with a trip to the Louvre, which houses such famous works as the Mona Lisa and the Venus de Milo...



We then got on our "Champions Car" bus (since we're from Philly and World Champions) and went to enjoy the beauty of Versailles.

Day 18: Reims/Paris

Our morning began with a warm and heart-felt goodbye to our home-stay families and a 2 hour bus ride back to Paris...
We took a very nice bus tour of the city before visiting the famous cathedral of Notre Dame.

And celebrated Hannah's birthday over dinner!

Day 17: Reims/Epernay

Today our home-stay family started off the day by treating us to a tour of Reims and of the cathedral of Reims. It was in this cathedral that every French king was crowned from Clovis to Charles X. The cathedral was torn apart by bombs during WWI and WWII, and had to be largely reconstructed.


Next, a few of us were able to attend a private tour of the 2nd largest champagne production cellar in the world. We walked down 9 stories of steps to the miles of vaulted cellars that house 40 million bottles of champagne.



Upon returning to Sept-Saulx, we had a very nice BBQ to close out our night.
