Zach had a great trip to France despite fighting a stomach bug during his stay. He tried a bunch of strange cuisine including rare roasted duck and strange cheeses he couldn't pronounce. It was fun getting him to try though. He mentioned that the French bakeries and breads were amazing compared to anything he had ever tasted before. I asked him if he had trouble ordering considering he didn't know the language. Apparently, there were plenty of people on the trip who could speak multiple languages, so he wasn't without an interpreter. He stayed in a Best Western, but it had a bit of French flair to it. Here's a pic of a room. Doesn't look like any Best Western in the States that I've ever been to. :)
He spent some time at the chemical plant site in Bethune.
He said the underground chunnel was pretty bizarre. He was in the section of the diagram below in marked train carrying cars. You drive your car onto the train which has two tiers for cars and remain in your car during the trip. He said his ears popped a lot.
