Please see below a recent account from two Year 12 students about their recent school trip to Paris:
On Tuesday this week, we had the amazing opportunity to explore the history of Paris with two of our teachers. As part of our Learning Support studies, we’ve been diving into the rich past of the beautiful city of Paris.
Our first stop was Place de la Nation to see the Jules Dalou’s sculpture, and from there we headed to the famous Père Lachaise Cemetery to visit the tomb of Molière. It was incredible to see the graves of so many well-known figures up close – it really brought history to life.
After a short café break to rest and enjoy a refreshing drink, we continued our journey through the city. We
visited Place de la Bastille, Place des Vosges as well as the church of Saint-Louis: Saint-Paul.
After lunch we headed to the Musée Carnavalet, where we learned about the development of Paris and admired a statue of Louis XIV. The exhibitions also helped us imagine what life might have been like during the French Revolution. The highlight at the end of the day was visiting Notre-Dame Cathedral. The inside was absolutely gorgeous—full of colour and detail.
We’re so grateful for the chance to experience history outside the classroom!
