Mr Dietz and Mrs Vanags led a train trip out of Paris to the Palace at Versailles, only having time to see the gardens before returning to our meeting point at the Opera.
Mr Burns took a few Science students to the Marie Curie Museum - small but interesting and Mrs Stroud and myself took the metro to the Cimetiere du Pere Lachaise where some very famous people are buried - including Jim Morrison, Edith Piaff, Chopin, Moliere, Oscar Wilde, and Abelard and Heloise. These 2 groups met up to experience the coffee culture at the Hard Rock Cafe (too expensive, so found a cheaper alternative!).
After meeting all up at the Opera and having lunch we returned to the hotel to get our packs and then to the Gare du Nord to catch the train to Amiens, where we changed trains for Villers Bretonneux.
Our reception at the school at Villers Bretonneux was incredible. The foyer was decorated in all the symbols of Australia - the green and gold, kangaroos etc. After being introduced to our host families, we all went our separate ways.
