Day 1
A tired but enthusiastic group of students (14 from Örnässkolan and 14 from Bergskolan + 5 teachers) met up at the Luleå Airport at 7.15 AM. The flight to Paris via Stockholm took off at 8.20 AM.
The trip went without incident and we made our connection in Stockholm with time to spare and finally touched down in Paris around 1 PM where we were picked up by bus and driven to our final destination Ars-Sur Moselle. This bus ride through a rainy and cloudy but extremely beautiful French rural landscape took just over 4 hours.
When we finally arrived at the school (college) in Ars-Sur Moselle our student and teacher delegation was met by our French counterparts who greeted us with a wonderful welcome ceremony. There were Swedish flags adorning the school building and a large banner welcoming us in both French and Swedish. Inside the college we were entertained with snacks, soft drinks and games. After the welcome ceremony the French host families arrived at the college to pick up the Swedish students and took them home for dinner and some well deserved rest after a long day on the road.
Tomorrow holds an extensive program in store for the Swedish delegation. Tuesday's activities will be kicked off with morning lessons at the college between 8 and 12 AM. In the afternoon we will visit a fruit garden outside of Metz called Fruit Gardens of Laquenexy after which we will have a chance to explore historical down town Metz.
