Un voyage en pays anglophone a été proposé cette année à tous les 3èmes : 80 ont choisi de partir 15 jours au Canada, au campus Massawipi ; les autres ont visité Dublin ou Londres. Voici quelques échos… en anglais ! de ces voyages.
Our trip to Canada
This trip was absolutely fantastic, we consider it as one of the best trips in our lives. Not just because we traveled to another continent and of the landscapes, but mainly because of the vibes and the life-lasting memories we made. In Quebec City, we visited the civilization museum, saw the Montmorency Falls, which was stunning and we also saw the Frontenac Castle at night, during a walk. We slept in a youth hostel, in a 13-person room, it was chaotic but funny !
We also met tons of incredible people and we would definitely relive this trip if we could.

A great museum
We visited the Bombardier museum, where we split into 2 groups. We started by watching 2 immersive videos about the life of Joseph Bombardier, the inventor of the first snowmobile. It was very interesting and original. Then, we discovered some of his creations. There were lots of interactive games, including a flight simulator. Some people played games about engineering. There was also a souvenir shop. We all loved this museum !

The hockey match
The activity that for us stood out from the crowd was the hockey match. It was memorable ! Everybody cheered their team ! We ate hot-dogs and tried the famous putin. We bought some souvenirs to show our enthusiasm for the local team named the « Voltigeurs ». Unfortunately, they lost the game and we were a little disappointed !

The bootcamp : an extreme experience !
On the last day of our trip, we did a bootcamp. What is it ? It is a sort of parkour with obstacles to be climbed, or jumped over, or crawled under, sometimes in the mud, and all that in a short time. Some obstacles were easy, others were more difficult ; for example, running with a 20 kg weight was really hard. Crawling in the mud was really fun but extremely cold too as the temperature was about 6°C. After the activity, we were soaked ! We keep a great memory of this bootcamp ; it was fun and unusual.

Our trip to London
During our trip to London, we often took the bus ; we saw or visited so many places : Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, Buckhingham Palace, the Tower of London, Windsor Castle, Tower Bridge… We did a lot of activities : we visited two museums, did a cruise and a bus tour, we had tea together, and discovered Camden Market.
What we enjoyed most was Mrs Tussaud’s museum. The trip was incredible, thanks to the teachers for organizing it !

Our school trip was an amazing experience. On the first day, we visited the British Museum and did a few quizzes to learn more about the artifacts. On the second day, we went to Oxford : we visited Balliol College – the oldest college in the English-speaking world, founded in 1263 ! After that, we enjoyed a traditional English teatime moment. On the third day, we explored the centre of London, saw Big Ben and Westminster Abbey, we took a cruise on the Thames and visited the Tower of London. On the fourth day, we did a guided bus tour with a few indications about Harry Potter filming locations. Then, we visited Madame Tussaud’s. On the last day, we visited the Windsor Castle.
We met friendly people, we had a great time, and we learned a lot about British culture and history !

Our trip to Ireland
We loved the trip to Dublin. We did a ton of activities, discovered the Irish culture and met a lot of fantastic people!
We visited the city of Dublin, went to a botanic park, experienced « gaelic » sports (Irish sports), did a guided visit of the « Croke Park », the 4th biggest stadium in Europe, a symbol of the Irish culture and gaelic sports ; we went to a castle and walked in the enormous park around it with an infinite variety of plants from different countries ; we saw a huge waterfall and a lot more!
The group was small so the mood was great, really fun, we were all friends and we all laughed together.
Thanks to the teachers who went with us, we had no problems during the whole trip, eveything went perfectly fine.
