Field Trip, Paris Style


While poking around the shops at Village St. Paul, I spotted this schoolboy at the end of this corridor. He and his friends were giggling and playing, so I walked through to see what they were up to. I found this gaggle of students with their teacher, just leaving the Academie de Magie, balloon animals and all! Shown here previously.

The light is gorgeous Virginia. What is you camera ?

Virginia said...

Laurent,
Canon Rebel XTI. I think the nice green light might be a SORTIE sign! :)

Ninny,
I don't think I'd want to be responsible for a group on the narrow streets of Paris and the Metro!!

Shell,
Oui, balloon animals even.

Les rêves,
Thanks

J'adore les entrées d'immeubles ! L'académie de magie plaît beaucoup aux enfants! J'aime beaucoup cet endroit !

Virginia said...

Je ne visite pas l'academie de magie. ( correction s'il vous plait!)

claudine said...

Je ne suis jamais allée à l'académie de magie! (voilà la correction!)On ne peut pas dire VISITER ! On visite un musée, une ville, un appartement ...mais on va à l'académie de magie!

C'est vrai que le français est difficile mais vous allez faire des progrès! J'en suis sûre!!
My english is not so good. I make a lot of mistakes! But I keep on trying! My son speaks english fluently !

What a fun field trip! And another wonderful Parisian moment. I recently got a Canon Rebel XTI—maybe one of these days I'll be half as good with mine as you are with yours, V.

Virginia said...

Oh Alexa,
You are so nice to say so but I think your photos are wonderful!

For my readers, Claudine is French and her son is in the US. We have agreed that she will comment en français as a way to help me with my struggling French. I need all of you to help me.

Virginia, I thought that this comment had already posted but it did not. User error, I imagine!

Don't tell your secrets to Laurent. I was fooled by the green light too. All of the colors work so well together. Love it!

Thanks for the link to Jean-Luc on Red Bubble. Great photos, just stunning! Merci!
