First Form pupils set off on an unforgettable trip to Paris during CEW week, filled with iconic landmarks, culture, and, of course, chocolate crêpes!
After a smooth ferry crossing and scenic drive, the group enjoyed their first taste of French cuisine before settling into FIAP Jean Monnet, with stunning city views. Despite 40°C heat, the pupils embraced a busy day starting with a classic French breakfast, followed by a scenic Seine river cruise past the Eiffel Tower, Notre-Dame, and the Louvre. Lunch and shopping in Montmartre led to a fragrant visit to the Fragonard Perfume Museum. The day ended with a stroll down the Champs-Élysées and dinner at Monte Carlo.
The following day began peacefully in Luxembourg Gardens, where the pupils even met French gendarmes during President Macron’s nearby visit. The afternoon at the Louvre included a close-up with the Mona Lisa. The trip concluded with dinner on the Champs-Élysées and a sparkling view of the Eiffel Tower by night.
From chocolate crêpes to cultural icons, from perfume secrets to presidential encounters, the First Form trip to Paris was a whirlwind of learning, laughter, and lasting memories. Pupils embraced every moment with curiosity and courage, making this journey one for the history books.
