Strasbourg

We went to Strasbourg for two days thanks to the high school. This plan was financed by the European Union, so that we didn’t pay anything! We left La Ravoire at 5 o’clock and we arrived in Strasbourg at 11 o’clock. So the journey was very long. But when we arrived, a very tasty meal was waiting for us! Indeed, we ate in the restaurant ‘Chez Yvonne’, which is the one where famous people eat when they come to Strasbourg.

After, we made a cruise with a lot of explanations about the city.

At the end of the afternoon, we went to the European Parliament. We had to pass through a metal detector to go into the parliament. We started by attending a debate between the few deputies who were there. I noticed that many deputies say what they want, and they don’t listen to the other deputies’ answer. I was really impressed by the number of translators! Then, we had a presentation of the European Union. After that we exchanged with the deputy who invited us, Malika Benarab-Attou. She is a French politician from The Greens. It was very interesting!

We slept in a youth hostel.

The next day, we visited Strasbourg with a guide during the morning. The afternoon, we went to a brewery. This visit was the activity I particularly enjoyed, and concluded our stay. In conclusion, this trip was very cultivating.
