2010年10月20日—23日，北京一六一中接待了来自法国圣布里厄市的勒南高中师生友好访问团一行24人。这是一项传统的中法学生文化交流项目，是由“中国宋庆龄基金会”和法国“阿莫尔——法中友好协会”组织的，目前已经有越来越多的学校参加了此项活动，北京一六一中与法国勒南高中已经有近二十年的友好交往历史。
作为法国友人来中国进行友好交流的第一站，学校进行了认真的准备，先后组织法国学生参观了国家大剧院、天安门广场，品尝了北京的特色小吃、体验了宫廷菜肴的美味……
10月23日，学校安排法国学生参观了三个各具特色的校区，学生志愿者流畅的法语和英语介绍让法国师生感受到了深厚的文化底蕴。在中校区特意安排法国师生分组进入到高一、高二年级的课堂，和我们的学生一起上课，法国学生的到来，得到老师和同学们的热烈欢迎；课间十五分钟，同学们用流利的英语和法国同学进行了交流；课间操时间，法国同学还和我校的同学一起进行了锻炼……
在学校组织的欢迎仪式上，丁大伟校长发表了热情洋溢的致辞，在学校组织的联谊活动中，中法学生表演了精彩的节目。
本学期，学校在高一年级开设了包括法语在内的多门第二外语选修课，希望通过第二外语的学习，使学生更多的了解世界各国的历史和文化。学好外语，提升能力，为参与更大范围的国际交往和国际竞争做好准备。
法国友好交流访问团的师生们还在“宋庆龄基金会”的组织下在北京参观了颐和园、长城等地，在随后的日子里，法国师生继续到上海、杭州等地参加活动，相信在北京一六一中学的日子一定会给他们留下深刻记忆，发展中的中国必将给他们留下美好的印象。
We gave a warm welcome to the delegation from Le Nain High School
During the four days from 20 to 23 October, 2010, Beijing No.161 High School received the delegation of 24 teachers and students from Le Nain High School, Saint Brieuc, France. The project is a traditional Chinese-French association organized by Soong Ching-ling Foundation and Amour France-China Friendship Association. In recent years, more and more schools have attended this project, while Beijing No.161 High School and Le Nain High School have formed a friendly relationship of over twenty years.
As the first to welcome friends from France, teachers and students of Beijing No.161 High School have made careful preparations. French teachers and students were arranged to visit the National Grant Theatre and Tiananmen Square, and to taste traditional Beijing snacks and royal dishes, etc.
On 23 October, the school arranged tours in three distinctive campuses. Rich cultural heritage is felt due to the fluent introduction in both English and French provided by student volunteers. French teachers and students even took part in Grade 1 and Grade 2 classes in groups and were warmly welcomed. Students chatted with their French peers in English during breaks, and invited them to join in the physical exercise.
President Ding Dawei gave an enthusiastic welcoming speech at the ceremony and both Chinese students and French students gave wonderful performances at the associational party.
Also, several elective language courses including French are opened in Grade 1 this semester，through which students are expected to know more about the foreign history and culture, and to get ready for attending wider international communication and competition.
The delegation also toured the Summer Palace, the Great Wall and other interesting places in Beijing with preparations been made by Soong Ching-ling Foundation. They are going to take part in activities in Shanghai and Hangzhou, but it’s believed that the days in Beijing No.161 High School will be as unforgettable as the nice impression left by the developing China.
