A group of staff and students from St Mary's High School, Brollagh have recently returned from a trip to Paris.

With a experience packed itinerary including a trip to the Eiffel Tower and a boat trip on the River Seine, the group enjoyed their week long visit taking in the Invalides museum on their journey to see the famous painting of the Mona Lisa, a real Egyptian mummy and the Orangerie Museum where many great paintings are exhibited.

"Every evening", Madame Gribbin, their leader, explained, "we were doing something. We went bowling and then to Aqua Boulevard, a brilliant water park with lots of great slides. We spent a whole day in Eurodisney from 10 in the morning until eight at night. We ate at the Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show where we had a great time watching the Cowboys and Indians, and we had a good laugh too!"

On the last day, the Belleek party stopped at a shopping centre for a last chance to spend their money, although bags were already full of all the things bought in Eurodisney!

"The pupils experienced the busy life of a big European capital, had fun with their friends and learned some facts about French history and culture."
