Our trip to France

Last year, French Students went to visit France and I'm going to explain you a little bit of the trip

The trip by bus was very hard, because it was very long. First we arrived to Perpignan, where we visited a school called Arago, because we had sent letters to French Students there who study Spanish. The school is very big and beautiful and the students are very friendly and funny, but we had to leave them quickly, because we had to visit a lot of places more.

Then we went to Nimes. Here we could visit the “Jardins de la Fontaine” a park built in 1745 by the architect Jacques Philippe Mareschal. This park was wonderful! And it has it a lot of gardens and monuments.

Then we visited “La Maison Carrée”, a Roman temple of the first century before Christ. Now it’s a famous monument. And it’s visited for a lot of people from all over the world.

The second day we went to visit “Le Pont du Gard”, in Nimes. It’s a Roman aqueduct 49 metres tall and 3 hundred metres long. Then we went to another village called Orange. Here we visited “Le théâtre Antique d’Orange” with room for 9 thousand spectators where they hold theatre shows.

And then we went to “L’arc de Triomphe d’Orange” one of the biggest around the world. It was built on the year 20 before Christ. And in the afternoon we travelled to Avignon, where we visited “Le Palais des Papes”, a gothic big palace built in 1352.

Then the teachers gave us free time and we went shopping to the center of town. We could buy a lot of things, like cheese, biscuits, strawberry jam, clothes, etc.

The last day, we travelled to “Les Arènes” a Roman amphitheatre, located in Nimes. Now it’s a bull ring. And then we went to “Musée de l’Arles Antique” a museum about Arles history. We saw a lot of old objects of different eras.

And the last place that we visited in France was “Aigues Mortes”. It’s a wonderful village, where there are a lot of souvenirs shops of France.

If you go to France, I recommend you all these places! I enjoyed it a lot! =)
