During the April Break, twenty three Upper School students and a group of chaperones traveled to Paris to take in the language, history, cuisine, and culture. In a trip that took in much of the north of the country, the students were able to visit Paris landmarks such as the Louvre and Eiffel Tower, Versailles, the cathedral at Chartres and Chateaux in the Loire Valley, the coastal Brittany town of St. Malo (also the setting for much of the bestselling novel All the Light You Cannot See,) and Mont St. Michel and the D-Day beaches in Normandy. The group dined in the Latin Quarter and a Troglodyte village, ate at a Parisian Brasserie, and had the traditional meal at a creperie. Despite jet lag and a Friday arrival back in Albany, Director of College Counseling Kathleen Bracken, one of the trip’s chaperones, woke up on Saturday and ran a full marathon.
