Promenade Plantee & Pere Lachaise

We began our day with a leisurely stroll along the Promenade Plantée, a stunning elevated park that provides lush greenery and different views of the city – a refreshing contrast to the bustling streets of central Paris, where Parisians and tourists blend and mingle. With temperatures climbing to around 30 degrees, it was the perfect start to a hot day.

For lunch, we savored classic French cuisine at Chez Janou, enjoying the cozy ambiance and delicious dishes (oh gosh…the Mousse au Chocolat!!!).

In the afternoon, we delved into the history of Père Lachaise Cemetery, paying our respects to renowned figures like Oscar Wilde and Jim Morrison. Dinner at Chez Toinette was a delight, offering a charming atmosphere and delectable fare. There was more space for another dessert 😅, of course.

As night fell, we immersed ourselves in the vibrant nightlife along Rue Princesse, where the lively crowd and eclectic music made for an unforgettable evening. However, not all metros whisked our students straight back to Jo&Joe’s Hostel in Gentilly, as we had extended curfew until 11 PM. Nonetheless, we waited for the others in front of the hostel, passing the time with card games and relishing the warm night.Read more
