<h3>For five years they have studied French but the language was really brought to life last week on a special trip to Paris.</h3>
Fifth Year French students from St Brigid&#8217;s Presentation were given the wonderful opportunity to visit the picturesque city for four days.
Two students, Anna Cashman and Abbie C O&rsquo;Sullivan, gave their account of their four fabulous days in the French capital.
&#8220;On this trip we not only developed our conversational French and appreciation of the French culture, but also formed life-long friendships and bonds with the people around us,&#8221; Anna Cashman said.
&#8220;There were a variety of highlights throughout the trip, from viewing the city of Paris from the top of the Arc de Triomphe, enjoying a cruise down the river Seine, visiting the architectural and historical masterpiece that is Palace of Versailles and experiencing French cuisine in local restaurants in the heart of the city.&#8221;
Another memorable highlight was visiting what they described as &#8220;the happiest place on earth&#8221;, Disneyland Paris and Walt Disney Studios.
&#8220;Not all highlights stemmed from the itinerary; evenings spent in the hotel, airport and the bus trip is something we will hold near and dear,&#8221; Abbie C O&rsquo;Sullivan added.
&#8220;We have studied the French language for the past five years which has made this trip even more anticipated.&#8221;
Remembering their experiences in France&nbsp;will be a useful point of focus for them in their French oral exam at the end of Sixth Year whilst also allowing them to reminisce about a trip they will never forget. As Audrey Hepburn once said &ldquo;Paris is always a good idea&rdquo;.
&#8220;Thanks again to all the teachers involved in organising this trip and making it truly unforgettable for all.&#8221;
