The Longview High School Lobo Choir’s week abroad is winding down with a second day of immersion in the history and culture of France’s capital city.

On Monday, June 10, their final day in France, the choir performed at La Madeleine Church, known for its atypical neo-classical architecture style that mimics the Pantheon. Originally intended as a parish church, Napoleon shifted construction to serve as a monument. After the French Revolution, work on the building was completed and it reverted to a church.

Later in the day on Monday, the group toured the historic sites of Paris on a river cruise on the Seine River. They also got an up-close look at the iconic Champs Elysees and Arc de Triomphe.

The group returns to Longview by an early flight on Tuesday.
