Safe arrival

Bonsoir tout le monde!!

We have a great group of kids with us who coped with the trip over really well; even those who'd not flown before. The weather was warm with a slight breeze when we arrived and we welcomed that heat when we got off the plane and stepped onto French soil.

We have a bunch of honest kids too who said they had put twigs on their canvas host gift which led us through the suspect area in customs! But once examples were unpacked we were waved through, obviously not a huge security threat but good for the kids to see how the process works.

Much excitement as we drove into the city although the noise quietened somewhat the closer we got to the hotel. The families all looked lovely and welcomed our kids warmly.

We will meet them early in the morning for our welcome at Jean Mariotti school. They'll have lunch in the canteen then we're off to have a look at the city which will be good for the start of their visit.

A demain!
