First meeting

Since we are in Paris until wednesday we went to the Eiffel tower to open the first meeting of the season. After the openings we decided the activity of the day : a field trip to the Tuilerie Garden (It's more a park than a garden).

As part of the "Find your way" patch we studied the Metro map. After that we took the metro to go to the Tuileries.

One of the activity we liked there was Poney riding. The other one is to play with sailing boat in the bassin at the center of the garden. To play you need a boat (3 feet long) and a stick. You put the boat on the water and push it with the stick. The wind makes it sail. You just need to go around the bassin and push the boat so it sails across the bassin.
