Americans in Paris… and Alsace!

The Lycée Schuré in Barr, France played host to the American students that they visited last October. For two weeks from February 10-24, 18 Greely High School students accompanied by their two French teachers, Mesdames MacDonald and Poulin, and a parent, Kara Plummer, lived with their host families and experienced French in an authentic setting after spending the first four days in Paris. Among the highlights were a visit to the historic city of Strasbourg with its Alsatian Museum, Cathedral and medieval streets; a visit to Struthof, a World War II concentration camp, the only one on French soil; and an afternoon reading poems, singing, and playing games with middle school students. In addition, host parents provided many opportunities to visit points of interest in the Rhine River Valley. This was the fifth successful exchange between Lycée Schuré and Greely High School.
