PARIS AND A GREAT HOLIDAY

OK. we were away for a week, so im going to write about my holiday in each individual day. (its going to be a very long blog!!!)

Wednesday
First up today, we went to the city of LE MANS. There we visited two families of noels sisters and saw a very nice cathedral

 Then in the afternoon, we went to the house of noels parents at Conge-sur-orme and stayed there that night. it is such a nice little house, in a little village of 300 people. This is a photo of their backyard and a part of their house.

Thursday
We woke up, had a nice dinner, and then Me, antoine and sarah rode to another house of noels parents and saw it.  We had lunch there and then headed for Meziere-sur-seine. on the way we stopped at another family of Noel's.

At Meziere-Sur-Seine, we stayed with a family who are good friends of Noel's. we stayed there for two nights. In the family there is a 13 year old boy, 16 and 19 year old girl, so i got along well with them.Firstly when we got there we had some little snacks, then went for a nice walk around the town with their dog. along the way we saw this in the ground. They are all over france, and mark however many km away from where the troops landed in Normandy in 1944.  

Friday
Today, we had a nice sleep-in, and a nice lunch and morning just chilling out by the fire and playing a few games. then in the afternoon, Andrea (the 16 year old) had a friend come over, and all us kids went ice scating in the nearest city 'Mantes'. then we came home and had another dinner of those big platters of cheese and hams. mmmmmm.

Saturday
Well, this morning we had to wake up early because we were leaving and going to PARIS. YAY!!!!!!!! It was a 40km drive from Their place to paris. First up we went to the eiffel tower, and went up it. We could only got to the 2nd level, because the top one was closed. It was so amazing. the view was spectacular. Then after that, we went for a boat cruise alont the Seine River and saw some wonderful sights of paris. Then after that, weh went for a drive around paris, drove down the Champs-Elysee, the arc de triumph, and then after that, we stopped at the notre dame. we had afternoon tea there, and then went in the notre dame. After the Notre dame, it was dark, so we went back to the Eiffel tower and saw it with the lights on it. It was the best day ever. So then we drove back to Le Mans, and on the way, we had dinner at a nice chinese restaurant, and then stayed at a house of noels sister.
