to Paris. It was incredible! There was me, my parents, my
brother Tom and my little sister Sophia. We made the city
tour. We visited the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre Museum they
were amazing places. although the weather was cold, we
were excited Paris is a beautiful city.

On the fifth day we went to Euro Disney. That was fantastic,

we all enjoyed ourselves a lot.

We stayed in Euro Disney four days. They were the most

exciting days I had all my life. We were all very tired
because we had to walk a lot to watch everything and enjoy
all the amusements. My little sister is only 5 years old and

funny. We stayed at a nice hotel the food was delicious
there. We had a really good time.
