The document summarizes the trip of several American students to Paris for a homestay experience with French families. It describes their interactions at the airport, on the plane, and various activities with their host families including visiting landmarks like the Eiffel Tower and Versailles. One student, Alexis, eats too many crepes and gets sick, calling her mother who diagnoses her with a "liver crisis" from overindulging. The families see the students off at the airport as their trip comes to an end.
