I am least looking forward to travelling on the coach for a long time because i get travel sick!!! I am most looking forward to going to park asterix because i love rides!!! I am kind of looking forward to going to Notre Dame Cathedral because i have never been to a cathedral before and i am interested in going there. I am also looking forward to eating frogs legs!!! (some people say they taste just like chicken)
