Paris in (almost) springtime was a dream come true for some School District 43 high school students this spring break, some of whom met up at the famed Notre Dame Cathedral in a chance encounter that surprised many.
Last Sunday, March 8, a group of French immersion students from Dr. Charles Best secondary in Coquitlam met up with a group of their counterparts from Centennial secondary, also from Coquitlam, in a scenario that just proves, says teacher Greg Sutherland, that "it really is a small world."
It just so happened that the two school tours of Notre Dame were planned for the same day and the same time.
"The students took a few moments from their busy itineraries to exchange travel advice and pose for pictures before heading off to their next destinations," Sutherland said.
The Centennial students continued their tour of five European countries and the Best students are exploring France, with a highlight being a visit to Juno Beach, where they will honour Canadian veterans and clean up the D-Day beach site.
