Notes below by Peter Turner - It was Easter, 1958. We went Newhaven to Dieppe (4 hours flat calm), and Calais to Dover on our return ( one hour, choppy - I felt seasick, as I tried shandy in a below decks bar!) Other memories - the female courier was beautiful but not interested in her job. Stayed in an old lycee in the Latin Quarter in dormitory, very basic. Very hot at Versailles, Montmartre very impressive. I discovered I was not very good at heights when we went up the Eiffel Tower.
Some updated names supplied by Betty Odams (Medus) 1955 pupil
