Day 3: The best of Paris

After another early start we had our normal breakfast and headed off to the tram station and got the tram to Vincennes. Then we got the Métro to Concorde (Rory thinks it was 7 stops). Place de la Concorde was a big open space with a big needle in the middle given to the French by the Egyptians. We walked through the park and stopped off for a quick French lesson with Mr Dean (Zzzzzzz). We had drink break at a cafe and saw Thomas's parents and sister. We walked up to the Louvre and saw the glass pyramids where loads of French people tried to sell us dodgy things. After an exhausting walk to Saint-Sulpice church we did our rehearsal and then did a small concert in front of the parents and some other French people. We went to a café and had lunch. After lunch we got the Metro to Les Halles for our second performance at Saint-Eustache. There was a nice organ and we sang in the service to loads of people. We walked round the church and saw the organ console - it had 5 keyboards (6 including the pedalboard). Then we walked to Flunch for dinner where had the best meal we have had in France. Then we took the Metro back to our accommodation.
