At the beginning of their week of meetings from Nov.18-23, the Europe leaders spent an afternoon and an evening on a guided visit through various areas of Paris. I had the honor of leading them.
The first leg of their trip, on the Metro Line #8 was from Créteil Université to the Bastille, to take in the sights and history and pray. Then, we had lunch.
The second leg was from the Bastille to the Opera, where we spent an hour visiting and praying in yet another area of the city of lights.
The third leg, took us from the Opéra to the famous Eiffel Tower. As night began to fall, we made our way to the Arc de Triomphe and afterwards, we headed to Montmartre to visit Sacre-Cœur and have an evening meal at La Crémaillère, a famous 1900 restaurant. The day ended with a return Metro ride. The entire team really got a feel for the diversity represented in the different areas they visited. For a day, they became Parisians!
