Courchevel - les vacances scolaires


Bonjour Mes Amis,
This week I went skiing in Courchevel!
(the largest ski resort in the world.) Also one of the most beautiful ones.

The food was great, however it was hard to go to get a place at a restarant because they were all booked.


There was also this random fox, it is catching a beaver. weird, right!













There were sculptures like these everywhere on the mountain.

Sunday in Paris - scootering and antique cars en route to the American Library

The American Library in Paris
Lots of antique cars were driving the streets of Paris Sunday.


Dear Friends,
Yesterday, I went to the American Library in Paris.  As we scootered through Paris we saw these cool old cars.  The Library is situated near the Eiffel Tower.  They are having a young authors fiction festival in which my English teacher has entered all of our class.  Ernest Hemingway used to work at this library.    You should check it out.  A bientôt!
