Travel News

How far did I travel this week?:

I travel five stops on the train to and from school every day during the week, which is about five miles. If I want to, I can take the same train all the way into Paris! Depending on what part of the city I'm going to, it's between 25-30 miles, or about 50 minutes on the train. 

How far have I traveled on this journey so far?:

In addition to traveling to and from school, I try to go into Paris at least once a week to experience different exciting things in the city. In the summer before my school started, I also visited the south of France, which is over 400 miles from Paris! 

How did I get around this week?:

The train I take is called the RER B, and it is one of the most used trains in all of Europe! Every day thousands of people take it to get to and from work and school. When I'm travelling to school, I take the train five stops and then walk through a forest from the train station to my classes. It's very beautiful! Sometimes when it's raining hard I take the bus instead.

What was the most interesting place I visited this week?:

Earlier this week I visited downtown Paris. I walked around the Jardin des Tuileries, walked by the famous entrance to the Louvre, and visited the Petit Palais.
