Paris trip turns into a disaster
Madison Bernier, staff reporter, Paris, France
A group of 17 grade 12 French students and two teachers from Sir John A McDonald secondary school had gone to Paris, France on July, 11, 2014 to learn about the French culture and the French festival, Bastille Day.
Brianna Lee, age 18 says, “It was supposed to be an amazing day. We were supposed to learn so much more but all our plans got cancelled in the end”.
The group of 19 had decided to go and see the Bastille Day festival. While travelling there, they had encountered a flat tire about 1o minutes away from the Eiffel tower. Instead of waiting for the tire to get changed, they had explored the Eiffel tower and its history.
Linda Brown, age 17 says, “The Eiffel tower and its history was beautiful but the incident there changed all our moods”.
As they were leaving and about to get in to the repaired car, some students had noticed their wallets had disappeared into thin air. The students were very upset and it is reported that they have taken the next flight back home, to Toronto.
Teacher, Lucas Reed says “It was supposed to be the perfect trip for all of us including us teachers. There’s nothing we could do now. I apologize to all the students and parents. If we had known about a pickpocketer in the area, we would have taken a taxi straight there”.
