During Spring Break, (March 11-18) a lucky group of Architecture Technology students had the opprtunity to visit several achitectural works in Paris; including the Louvre, Eiffel Tower, Chartres Cathedral, Norte Dame de Paris, L'Institut du Monde des Arabes, Canal+, Le Bibliothêque Nationale du France and Georges Pompidou, Villas La Roche et Jeanneret.

Their courses could not have prepared them for what they experienced. They not only had the opportunity to walk within and around the sites they had studied, but also to view them within their surroundings. Visits usually included an occasional stopover for some very expensive coffee!

They asked to thank Vanier College for it's support, without which this educational experience would not have been possible. We'd like to thank Paris trip participant Naomi Martinez who helped in providing information and photos for this page.
