POSTCARDS FROM FRANCE 🇫🇷✉
Students on the France Study Tour have settled into their host families, attending French classes and taking part in a range of exciting activities and excursions.
A day trip to the world-famous Mont-Saint-Michel was a definite highlight, made even more memorable by the unexpected opportunity to witness the annual parachutists and veterans’ parade and display - we just happened to be there at the right time! Students have also explored the beautiful city of Rouen, including the iconic Gros-Horloge, climbing to the summit for stunning views across the city.
A guided tour of the Musée des Beaux-Arts gave students valuable insight into the importance of art history within French culture, while some students also enjoyed participating in a French pottery class, producing some fabulous designs.
Another special experience was learning the art of macaron making with an expert in the field. As an iconic staple of any French patisserie, macarons were a wonderful addition to the tour, and with the entire workshop conducted in French, students carefully followed instructions to create a variety of beautiful final products. Merci, Arnaud!
Most importantly, we also had the joy of celebrating a 16th birthday in France -Joyeux anniversaire, Levi!
