Noah has had a very busy week. After two flying lessons and a trip to the prefecture in Laon, not to mention school, he tacked on a day trip to Normandy on Thursday to participate in the 80th anniversary commemorations of D-Day.
He is a Jeune Ambassadeur Francophone - a young person representing the French language in an international program. His name was drawn from the group of ambassadors at his high school as the person to represent them in Normandy.
He and Frédéric left the house at 5 a.m. to get to the train station in Paris, and he didn't get home again until 1 a.m. But he got to speak with a lot of people, including WWII veterans who were present for the ceremony, and it was an amazing experience. I lent him my camera, and he made great use of it!
