The walk along the Seine

The thursday, 11th of October, we went to Paris, to go for a walk along the Seine.

This project was set up by a few students and teachers of the high school Evariste Galois. We worked on Wednesday afternoons as volunteers to create this project. Each student had a monument or a topic on the Seine to talk about. We prepared our text in English on the computers, then we learnt it.

We took the train at 8:30 am to go to Paris. We were 46 students and teachers. When we arrived, we first visited the "Pavillon de l'eau" which is a place of information and sensitization of the public about water in Paris, there were also paintings and sculptures on the theme of water. Then we started our walk along the Seine at 10:30 am. Each Evariste Galois student talked in English to the Italian, Croatian, Spanish, French and Romanian students. We talked about the water of Seine, bridges and monuments like The Eiffel Tower or the National Assembly. It was sunny, so it was the perfect weather. We stopped at "Jardin des Tuileries" at 12:30 to eat and then we took the train back to Sartrouville.

It was a really good and enriching experience to speak with foreigner students. We had a really great time and we are willing to do it again !
