Tomorrow we leave Paris for the weekend. We have had several very busy days. We have been to the Louvre, Notre Dame, Saint Chapelle, a french private school, the home of Victor Hugo and Le Pere Lachaise. At the school, the SBS students visited with French students that are in their last two years of school before University - that is if they pass the Baccalaureat degree exam. Our students tried their French and their students tried their English. The school is a school of science so Mrs. Johnson felt very at home. Le Pere Lachaise is a very old cemetery with famous people buried within but also has its modern parts. It contains monuments to the deceased of the concentration camps of WWII as well as the graves of Moliere, Sarah Bernhardt, Edith Piaf and Antoine St. Exupery. Actually we are not sure that A. St. Exupery is buried there as we could not find his burial site - even though the map said he was there. We think he flew away to visit the Little Prince on his planet.
