A Medieval (Gothic) Cathedral

In the morning, the Roadrunners went to the train station to go to Rouen. We went to the Jean d' Arc museum to learn about her history. We enjoyed looking around and seeing the old buildings. There were many houses with wood beams and many are still standing from the Medieval times.

The houses are supported by beams built inside the walls and you can see them from the outside. We were fascinated with them.

Yummy dinner!
After Rouen, we went back for our last night in Paris. We went to see the Eiffel tower at night and we saw the Belgian flag colors on the Eiffel tower.

To end our visit in Paris and France, we went to another French restaurant and had French Raclette and Fondue. The food was delightful. Some of us ate delicious crepes because today is the last day for us. We will be driving through Luxembourg and Germany for 8 hours tomorrow. After this, we will arrive in The Netherlands (Holland). We are looking forward to the trip and seeing the different countries and experiencing more!
