Exchange with France

Every year, the students of 3rd and 4th ESO who are studying French do an exchange with the students of a school near Paris, Lagny-sur-Marne.
Last year, they came here in November and we went to their homes in May. There, we visited Lagny and a medieval village, where we saw an spectacle with eagles and other birds. We also visited Paris: the Tour Eiffel, the Moulin Rouge, Nôtre Dame, Montmartre, the Tulleries (where we ate)... We moved by the underground, and it was really crowded!
During the weekend, we went to Disneyland with the families. Last day, we went to Val-d'Europe, the largest shopping center of Europe!
This year, very few people from Lleida who do French wanted to do the exchange, so the French came but we didn't go there.

This year, we are going to Italy. We are going there by bus; we are going to visit the Toscana, Venice, Florencia... we are going to stay in Italy one week and we are going to return to Barcelona by ship. The first night, we'll at the bus and when we get up, we'll at Montecatini; we are going to spend the day in that village.
The second day we are going to Florence to see the most popular monuments and visit some museums.
The fourth day we are going to Venice and his channels, the gondolas and all the monuments.
Last day, we will return by ship; we will enjoy it a lot.
