Petra (15 years old, Deszk)

Petra's and Noémi's wishes to discover Paris have been fulfilled. We met the kids at the airport in the early morning hours on 22nd April 2015. The airport and the flight were a great experience for the kids and for their mums, too. We arrived at the Charles De Gaulle Airport after a pleasant two hours flight. The swarming of the many people astonished the small team…

After we reached the elegant Hilton La Défense hotel the magical experience went on. The team of the hotel waited for us with attention and much love. The kids' rooms were decorated with colourful balloons. Delicious cookies, soft drinks, gifts waited for the kids every day. We set off after a short rest in order to discover the sights of La Défense where we stayed for four days. We saw the 100 metres high Grande Arche, the skyscrapers of the greatest business centres of Europe.

We admired the historical buildings of Paris on the second day. We have been to the Notre-Dame, the Sainte Chapelle, we have walked on the bank of the Seine. We "climbed up" to the Sacre Coeur from where we enjoyed in the fantastic view of the city. The Métro (14 lines) and the 5 RER of Paris were a great experience for the kids, too. It was a little bit difficult to find the way "in the world under Paris."

Perhaps the third day was the high point of our trip. We took part in a cruise on the Seine. We have seen the most known and important buildings of Paris (La Notre Dame, Musée d' Orsay, Petit Palais , Grand Palais...) We went up with elevator to the top of the Eiffel-Tower. The kids enjoyed again the panorama of Paris.

The fourth day was also full of experience. We visited the Louvre, we walked in the Garden des Tuileries, and saw the Place de la Concord in the morning. We watched the beautiful shop-windows on Champ’s Elysées .We have seen the l’Arc de Triomphe.
Then we said our "good bye" to Paris on the Place de l’Étoile.

We arrived to Budapest late in the evening with full of experience and adventures.

Many thanks goes to the Hilton La Défense in Paris that provided splendid accommodation and to the Hilton Budapest City for their support, without that this dream-trip would have never been realised!
