Once again a agree with all of you. Even if i liked to visit alcatraz first, the best travel plan is to begun with the great aquarium of the bay is the  perfect choise to begun a good trip if we came by boat or to begun with the Golden Gate Bridge if we came by plane. then we could eat in chinatown some traditional food to get a good first day trip. Then we could go to see Haight-Ashubury whose a colorfull place unavoidable like the Gastro with thecable cars. then we could visit the prison of alcatraz on a boat then ends our trip with Golden Gate Bridge or the great aquarium of the bay , depending on which we didn't see first because the two of them will be remembered by us for an eternity. That what i can propose to you for a good travel plan which, in my case,  is the best.
  So i say ;"see you tomoro for the trip and have a night full of dreams about our trip in San Francisco" and see you tomorow.

Hi everybody !
I read xell attentively you proposals ans I already see myself ther !

For my part, I join the idea of Theo, the Golen Gate Bridge it's essential to our visit ! A little as an inescapable emblem and I'm sur that bridge muste be very very impressive and put us eights eyes !
Then, why not to cross the district gays: The Castro, it's the origin of the evolution and the movement. As well Chinatown, as said it Baptiste, this would allow make 2 tavels in 1 ans spend a moment of relaxion in another world.
To finish, it would be cool to go to the Cable Car to finish the peacful stay and savor de environnement of SF before our return in France !
But the Golden Gat Bridge stays the most important for me !!

xoxo !

   Hello! it's me again ;)
I was thinking about our trip in science class, and the idea to go to the Aquarium of the bay come to me! It's an HUUUUGE public Aquarium! They are over 50 sharks from different species! And in the same theme, they are the San Fransisco Zoo, a Zoo with very very many wild animal species, and few of them are rare. And they are meerkat! I think Thibault R should love!! :P

Hello  :) to begin I can't wait to go with you for school journey to SF. This city been a member of legendary cities. When they speak about this place to TV or Internet we can see some beautiful things.
I ´ve read your text Theo and I ´m agree with you. We must visit the Golden Gate Bridge, this suspension bridge with his red color is an amazing place and one of the most internationally recognized symbols of SF, California and United States.
I ´m also agree with LePhenomene (Nicolas) to visit the Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary who is now a museum considered about America ´s strongest prison. I think this place is interesting to visit because it's a part of the history of SF.
On the other hand I 'm not totally agree with Léa. I find useless to Chinatown. I don't like their culture and especially their food, I'm afraid to eat meat of dog instead of meat of pork. But after all it's only my opinion.
Being fascinated by sport I propose to visit the Levi's Stadium. A stadium welcoming beautiful meetings of American football with one great atmosphere.
This is my ideas and opinions, tell me what do you think about this?  ;) ;)

Hy everybody !

Oh my god, I see every of your posts I'm so excited about this trip in San Fransico ;D
 I'm so sorry for the late... You know the life of traveler makes the internet a rare source. :'( But I see all your ideas and I think that this trip is going to be very great, you have very beautiful and exciting projects I'm convinced !
But my opinion may give you ideas  ;)

So for me, when you listen SF you think right away at The Golden Gate Bridge. It's THE monument that must absolutely visit and I promise you I will do everything possible to go there. This bridge has a great history to know our own culture, like for exemple the history of this color, but beyond all this it's a bridge immense, think of the nice photo to send to your family or for memory !Or just for the pleasure of hearing the sound of boats or the sounds of seagulles and the sea.  Soooo please let's visit it  ::)
However I'm too agree with Kamilia, The cable car is very interesting. We can hear the tipical sounds of these machines or the sounds of the cables rubbing underground. The cable bus is unique to SF, we can take to get to the Golden Gate Bridge  ;)
But between all my ideas, I'm not really agree with that of Léa... Yes Chinatown it's the most popular destination of the bight of SF, it's too a place with so much to see or visit like the chinese people the good vibes who give, or just go there to eat good food but I think it's better to keep the flavors and history of China for another trip, who know ?  :D

I hope you would think about my ideas, but as I love you no matter the final choice, this trip is going to be awesome ! (don't forget the Golden Gate Bridge stillll)
Bye, see you soon.  :-*

Hello, sorry for the late but i was visiting NY last week, imposible to give my point of view with the connexion in the hôtel.
I hope this new trip in San Fransisco will be as good as the last one.

For begin, I'm not agree with your starts, I see more the Golden Gate park, in first because it's very very big, and we need a lot of energy to walk across the 420Ha.

After that, I think a little trip to the principal streets in the city can be interisting. But not all, I'm agree with Thibault, Chinatown isn't a priority. But how say theo, the gay district, it's very important, if today the gays are accepted in an important parts of country, it's principaly the campaign of Harvey Milk so it's important to walk across his history.

Next, a little day into the cable-bus because it's one of the most famous element in San Francisco, and it's a possibility to see all this big city without see all the détails.

For finish, I think à visit of Alcatraz can be very great, if we have time.
But an incontournable place, is the Golden Gate Bridge, I prefer see it the last day because we will be fatigate, and it's the better place to keep pictures in the head and come back to France with lots of energy.

So, this is my point of view, I hope it can help you. You can answer me, and ask me questions.

Ps : I'm very sorry for the late, I hope you don't have take réservation without my opinion and so be penalised

Have a good day !

Hi everyone ! I'm glad to do this road trip with you and i'm very exited to visit one of the most beautiful city, so i made a program for this hoidays ;D

*At the beginning, I agree with Théo and his idéa to visit Haight-Ashubury because it's a very popular, colored and beautiful district in the world. I really want to see these raimbows pedestrian crossing.

*Then, we might go to the Golden Gate Park, one of the biggest park in the world, he's just huge (412 ha :o ). And what better way to go than cable-cars. They are one of the San Fransisco's symbols and I think it would be a mistake if we don't take them.

*After that, we must go to the Golden Gate Bridge because, like Pauline said, it's more that a simple bridge, it's THE most iconic symbol of SF.

*In the meantime, we should visit the most dangerous, iconic and secure prison: ALCATRAZ. Like Nicolas said, it's a place with many misteries and legend. Only 3 people succeeded their escape  8) .

*At the end, I don't think that Chinatown is a great choise. While it's a beautiful district, we have a limited time and this district is present in other cities like New-York and London (maybe another trip  ;) ).

Please let your opinion with this program .

Good evening everyone,
For my part the visit of the golden gate is an excelent idea because as Theo says it is a mythical place and therefore unavoidable. And then why not go on deck and underneath, by boat, so we could see the bay of SF up close. ;)
The idea of Chinatown also seems to me a very good idea, being in New Yorck I could make the comparison of these two quarters.
I join Simon and Nicolas for the visit to the famous prison of Alcatraz, I think it is a second place to go when you make a trip to SF.
Here is my opinion, thank you  :) :) :)

Hello !
For our Trip ! I think that to visits Golden Gates Bridge could be very interesting !
But I totally agree with you Hours, to go to visits chinatown would be a good idea, it is according to me one of the place of the most famous of the world, we often hear about it ! This district is know all over the world.
According to me to visit this district would be as a king of vacation in China ! We could thus learn on this comunity so particular, as the food traditional chinese, I would really like to enjoy noodles, the peking duck or "Wonton" !
It's a very alive street and frequented by a large number of nobody, the music is Festive. I already imagine the parties chinese with all their disguises as can be seen in some repports ! I would love hearing the magnificient are chinese violins.
I think that it is absolutely necessary to go to it ! It Squeezed beneficial for ours culture as well as for ours moral ! We are possible that to be happy in such conditions ! Do you agree with me ?  ???

 Hello everyone! :) I'm agree with all of you, I Think to visit the Golden Gates and China Town is a good idea, but I noticed no body talk about visiting Alcatraz Island with its famous prison. I think is an interesting thing to see, it's a cult place! :P . And the Golden Gates Park, it's an place that I really want to see too, with its japenese tea garden! We can take a french breakfast at Mama on North Beach and also go to the Dock Pier 39/Fisherman for see the sea lions!
Do you agree with me? ??? 8)

Post by: v.nicolas on November 20, 2016, 12:33:28 pm

you've all good opinions! For me i would like to visit the penitentiary of Alcatraz with all its legend and his architect. I want to confirm all the legends i've heard about it.It's a must see cause some thill are good for the healt. After all i've heard about it like "No one can escape this isle" and ther'z actualy some prisonners who did it. i think it have to be the first place to see to have a good and fun trip after the events.

so i said to you to have goods night before the trips. ;)

hello,  :) for the trip to san Francisco, I'm agree with amber kamilia lea and théo I think  if we go to Golden bridge at San Francisco it's the step that can't miss it, it is really a mythic place what could be more beautiful than to offer itself for one moment to admire the night falling  down from the bridge with its orange color, and see the car's light and city appear at the night, to hear the noise of gulls as well as to be able to admire water of the strait of Golden Gate to borrow by cargo boats.
And I also think that it is really interesting to go to visit chinatown, which is a really magic and unique place, with it good atmosphere where we can so well eat the whole in an atmosphere friendly with welcoming people, go to make a small stroll in its parks, his lots of shops where we can buy memories, as well as to be to plunge in one new universe and to discover a new culture, which we can obviously visit has the help of cable cars.
By hoping to have convinced you for this trip and not to miss its wonderful places!

Hi everyone ! I'm actually planning a trip in San Francisco and I'm so enthusiastic to tell you about the results of my research :D

At first sight,

Chinatown is for me the main place to discover : in fact, it is a gorgeous time and space travel in China, the trip is going to be awesome with this cultural and ethnical mix ! (it's also an excellent place to eat  ;D), for the first impression in the United States of America, hearing the district's living is perfect to be the most sensitive with the odors of Chinese food, sounds of the violins and the discover of all these small and typical shops as well street vendors and statues like lions, Chinese medicine, divinities or stores who sell katanas ;)

Secondly,

After this walk in Chinatown, we can go to the Golden Bridge, an unavoidable place to go ! But, the idea is to take a cable car who is the typical and most effective means of transport due to the slopes of San Francisco. We can hear the typical sounds of these machines : the bell to tell when they start or when they stop and the sound of the cables rubbing underground: in my opinion, its a very comfortable and pleasant transport to take for a class.

Then,

After all of these bell sounds, it's time to see the iconic landmark of San Francisco : The Golden Gate Bridge, which is definitely not made in gold but steel and sweat  ;D this bridge is very very huge (2.737 m !) but the view at this top is just incredible : with a rainy day or in the beginning of the journey, the bridge is covered by the fog hence this mysterious side of this construction  :P . Besides, the sounds of all the boats going under the Golden Gate are different for all : you can just call this "traffic" or take it with depth and go down in your conscience because it's not a simple "city sound".

Thanks for the reading, let me know your opinion about this :D

Post by: pauline alauzen on November 20, 2016, 11:07:30 am

hi ! :D
I like the idea of Théo because for me, the Golden Gate Bridge is THE thirst thing that comes to mind when we speak about San Francisco.
We will be able to take great pictures and the atmoshere will lead to forget us that we are in town with the sound of seagulls and boats !!
Finally, it's more than a simple bridge, it's a symbol of San Francisco, with his history and his color orange.  :D

It's a great idea to go with the cable cars, because that's the last in the world.
But I'm not agree with Hours, I prefer to go directly to China although she has good arguments.
for me, it's the best school trip

And you, what do you think  ?  ???
see you later !  ;D

Post by: BaptisteD on November 20, 2016, 10:46:41 am

I have some idea for the school trip. We will go to the golden gate bridge which is one of the most iconic place in San Fransico. It was build in 1933 and the  point of view is beautiful. Also we can use the cable cars build in 1873 which is an other iconic thing in San Fransisco. For the anecdote the system was never change of his creation has today. At last we will go in chinatown because we can do two trip in one San Fransisco and China. We will eat Chinese food  (the most important).
PS :We will go see the seahorse because seahorse is fun

Hello!  :)

I'm agree with you Ambre, Golden Gate Bridge is the emblematic monument of San Francisco, and one would not have to flunck the sight of this large and beautiful bridge, of color rusts. But it is not what interests me more in this city.

The cable bus, interest me more. These trams commissioned starting from 1873, and being only in San Francisco, which in fact all their charm. These means of transport are generally used by the tourists, which will be to us once in this big city, which is San Francisco. With their bells which tinkle fixed at the coach, one cannot flunck them. Moreover, there are 51 stops in the city and we could thus stop us or one wants, to trott themselves or visit.

And you, whom would you prefer to make to San Francisco?

Bye  ;)

Hi there! Big thanks to Théo, Léa and Ambre for starting this conversation!
We are still waiting for more... Today is the last day to post your first comment!! Come on, don't be shy, share your thoughts on what our trip should look like 👍

  Hello,
I'm agree with you Hours, the best place in San Francisco is Chinatown.It is a very convivial place. Chinatown is a dynamic and nice neighbourhood to discover other community. You can listen to chinese music and dance in street but also full of other activities.

In addition to this magnificent district for your trip,you are obligated to pass in front of the Golden Gate Bridge. Is for me an unavoidable place.
The bridge was inaugurated in 1937. Did you know the story of this bridge? The US navy wanted to paint the golden gate bridge in black and yellow contrary to the international orange, the American navy was afraid that, it wouldn't be visible in the fog. Some people think that the Golden Gate Bridge is in gold color, in deduction with his name but it's orange!
You can admire the view, see boats pass but above all you can listen to resting sounds of the seagulles and the sea, this takes us out of the decor of a noisy city to a quiet and relaxing place despite the heavy traffic on the bridge.
Don't forget to take pictures to keep memories unforgettable.

And you, What is your favorite place in San Francisco?

Bye ;)

Hello everybody,

I agree with you Théo, there are many things to see in SF but to my opinion the best thing to see is Chinatown. It's the most popular destination of the bight of SF, it's also one of the olders neighborhoods of the SF since 1848.
Inside this district we can walk in the street and see muscials shows, with dancers, singers, and people who are meditating. People are so surprising the first time they came in Chinatown by the atmosphere, chineses people give us so good vibes. It's a really good place, we can go to Portsmouth Square to forget trouble of the city. Portsmouth is the « Time square of SF » , it's really pretty and peaceful.
To talk about the same thing of Théo, in Chinatown, there is a place named Waverly, where we can see colored balcony with rainbow for the gays. It's amazing. You talked about cable cars, you know that we can also use this kind of transport, don't you ? It's goes through the district, and many tourists take it to live a singular experience. In all of this places we can eat very good and tasty foods, originals chineses foods.
To conclude, when we'll go to United States we really have to visit this unbelievable neighborhood who is Chinatown.

What do you think about it ? Tell me.
Bye  :D

For our first trip in SF I propose to visit lot of think because it's a beautiful city. First we can pass and cross golden gate bridge because it's the most popular into the city. we can observe the sea the bay of SF and the bridge. After that we can go into SF because they are lot of think to visit, for example Haight-Ashbury is the hippie district with tags on the walls on the ground we can go to Haight-Ashbury park the place were hippies made a concert in 1967. After we can visit the gay district, into this district pedestrians pathways was colored in "rainbow". at this place in this district Harvey milk were the first elected supervisor, position similar to that of municipal councilor, openly homosexual of the city of San Francisco.we can take the emblematic cable cars. Into the city they are 51 stations for the cable cars. After that we can go to restaurants or fast food (salade tomates oignons chef !)
if others peoples have others ideas for our trip please said her . 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)
