Over Thanksgiving Break, seven AP French students, along with Ms. Trahan and Mr. Fitz took a trip to Québec. During the trip, the students expanded their knowledge of the language and culture of Québec where they received several compliments on their French during conversations with the locals. They visited Ottawa (Canada's Capital) where they explored the city, walked around the Parliament building and stopped at a pâtisserie for breakfast before heading to Québec City. In Québec, they explored the city while visiting the Cathedral Sainte Anne de Beaupré, Montmorency Falls (the tallest falls in North America) and the Huron Wendat Museum where students learned about the native history, culture and ways of life. They then went to Montréal where they toured the Notre Dame Basilica, Old Montréal and downtown shops. What an amazing experience for these PHS AP French students - Today's Learners, Tomorrow's Leaders!
