Last Wednesday atelier

This past Wednesday the parents of kids who attend the French Workshop were invited to join their kids in some games, including bingo and answering questions about the places they have visited and general knowledge about the city of Paris. We learned, for example, that Paris has 37 bridges over the Seine.







Us parents also got to show off our knowledge of Paris and win prizes (we killed!), and at the end all the children received a medal and a diploma issued by the city of Paris that certifies them as real Parisians.



  



Afterwards we celebrated at Le Vigny, the cafe next to the school where we still meet with other parents some mornings.




More significantly for us, this past atelier was their last one. This is the first real sign that our stay in Paris is winding down; there will be more the next two weeks, such as class presentations and the end-of-school show. And then we have just a few days left in Paris before we head back across the Atlantic. Tempus fugit...
