A mom who had been learning French on her own and always hoped to one day go to Paris was left beaming in shock when her son surprised her with a dream trip there. Marcia Simon, 71, from Gainesville, Georgia, unwrapped numerous French-themed clues before getting to her son Stephen’s big surprise. Marcia and her late husband used to love traveling before he passed in 2016. Using the app Duolingo, Marcia opted to learn French. During her studies, Marcia mentioned to Stephen that she would love to one day head to Paris – and so her son started working on the dream trip. Having traveled from his home in Queens, New York, to Georgia for Christmas, Stephen sourced a series of hints for his big surprise: brie, a baguette, a beret, and macaroons that his mom could unwrap. As Marcia opened gift after gift on Christmas Day, Stephen quietly recorded his mom’s reaction to each one – his mom’s responses getting more and more excitable but not yet ready for the big surprise. Finally, Marcia reached a holiday card that revealed she was set to undertake her dream trip, which caused the 71-year-old to light up with joy.
