Last few days in Paris

August 8, 2009

Our last few days in Paris passed by quickly.

Finally, to celebrate a productive summer, our last Global Skills Training took place as a picnic on Pont des Arts. Our supervisor Frances invited her Parisien friends and we were able to mingle over a very gourmet picnic!

En plus, as the French would say, our group took one last look at Paris together on a riverboat through the Seine river.  We had a final dinner organized by the interns at La Fondue de Refuges so we can satisfy our craving for more cheesy fondue avec baby bottle wine one last time. This was a week of feasting, since our next meal was going to be rather luxurious.

As grand finale to our summer together, Intrax organized a dinner through Frances’ recommendation. Right next to the Eiffel Tower, we experienced a full multi-course French gourmet meal at Maison Blanche located on the Rue de Montaigne. We had a variety of high quality wine to select from and a menu consisting of dark chocolate coated foie gras, lamb and sole risotto as well as a beautiful chocolate and cream dessert.

The next few days I will be preparing for the coming vacation in London, Belgium, Amsterdam and Croatia before my semester at Bordeaux begins.

Cheers, or shall we say, Chin chin!?
