On April 4th, we went to Strasbourg! This trip was financed by Europe, this is why we went to the European Parliament. It was a wonderful trip thanks to the Comenius project. Those two days were very well organized; indeed we were busy all the time. First, we went to a restaurant called « Chez Yvonne », where we learned that our French president has already eaten! Then, we went on a boat trip lasting 2 hours. After, we went to the European Parliament.
The European Parliament has 736 members from 27 states. But in the meeting, only 40 MEPs were present. When we went in this building, we were very surprised by the security! To enter this building, we had to take off our jackets to be checked out. In it, we had to be quiet because many people work there.
What I particularly enjoyed was our meeting with Malika Benarab-Attou, a French MEP. She is the person we talked with on Skype when we were still in France! She was very friendly. Moreover, she is from la Savoie! When she arrived, she explained to us the role of the European Parliament and answered our questions about the news and she gave us her point of view about what is going on in Libya.
After that, we went to a youth hostel where there were many students of different nationalities. We had a good evening and night!
On 5 April, we visited Strasbourg with a guide and to conclude, we went to a famous Kronembourg factory. It's a brand of beer and there, a guide talked to us about the history and the ingredients of this particular beer. It was a short visit but we were happy to be able to taste it.
These two days were a great experience. Everything was perfect. I really want to thank the teachers for those great memories! :)
