We toured the workshops of famous silk weavers in Lyon. Here, we were taught about the weaving process and why Lyon is famous for its silk. After a weekend in Lyon, we traveled to Paris for the remainder of the experience.

The rain in Paris did not stop us from making the most of our time there! Some of my favorite memories from the trip happened because of the weather! We toured different museums, my favorite being the exhibit in the .

After the tours each day, we had the rest of the afternoon to explore the city, which presented an ideal opportunity to do some shopping!

I became great friends with the other people on the trip and experiencing a new culture with these new friends was unforgettable.
