French Summer Classes

I just loved my time in Paris. It satisfied my lifelong goal to experience Montmartre. I have always been a big fan of Gene Kelley and I finally got to see the scene of his film “An American in Paris.” And now I can say I’ve been on a train that went over 200 miles per hour. I’ve never seen cows pass by so fast!
