Bienvenue!

Hello, and welcome to our blog. On the 25th March, 19 students (and 2 teachers) are setting out on a trip to Montpellier in the south of France, to experience life there and improve our language skills. We will be staying with French families, attending a language school in Montpellier, and enjoying activities such as bowling, LazerQuest and visiting the beach. We will use this blog to keep you up to date with our trip, and to hopefully show some photos and video clips of our week in France.

Day 8 - It's Friday, Friday...

 Bonjour!

 Today was Friday 1st April.

 We had our last morning of lessons at the language school; we were all a bit sad for it to be ending because we had a wondeful time there.

 I feel like I have learnt so much, from l'École Klesse and from the trip as a whole. I have not only had the chance to really improve my French language, but I have experienced the gorgeous French culture and way of life. I could happily live here.

 After lessons the group met up and we went to a crêpe parlour. I had a savoury galette, and then a sweet crêpe for dessert.

 Here are some of Flo's photos:





 We then found out the results of the treasure hunt, and then Flo and Odile played an April Fool on us, saying that our exams had been put forward to the very next week, which I think nearly everyone believed in the end. It was a huge relief to find out it was an April Fool!

 Then some people went off in search of the beach, and the rest of us went shopping in Montpellier.


 We discovered an amazing toyshop that appears from the outside to be one little shop, but when you go in it, you realise it extends a long way back, with loads of little rooms full of all sorts of fabulous things.

 There was also an outdoor market, and lots of lovely little shops. It was nice to take some time just to explore the city.

 I will always feel at home in Montpellier. I am determined to at least go back one day and visit, if not study or work or maybe live there one day.

 Au revoir,

Back Home!

 Bonjour!

 Thanks for posting, Zoe! You have some great photos.

 Well that was an amazing trip to France; I truly had the time of my life.

 Highlights include:

- Gorgeous Carcassonne

- Salsa dancing!

- Music quiz after the salsa dancing, where my team gave up pretty quickly and just wrote Friends quotes for all the answers that we didn't know. But we guessed a few of the songs!

- Cette année-là! Déjà...aaaaaaaah...

- Aux Champs-Élysées

- LAZERQUEST! Go Team Bale!

- "C'est mignon, non?"

- Going to the cinema

- The amazing toyshop that seems to go on forever

- The brilliant climate

- The fantastic cuisine

- The treasure hunt

- Lessons at l'École Klesse; they were sometimes challenging but always really enjoyable and I feel that I have learnt a lot

- Staying with a lovely French lady who has been very kind to us and who has helped us hugely with our French

- Flo and Odile's April Fool (telling us our exams had been put forward) which I actually fell for!

- When I visited the zoo with Charlotte; we had a great time and saw some gorgeous bears

- The aquarium and naming fish and sharks!

- My Parisienne sandwich, with salade, cheese, boiled eggs and ham, which was wonderful

- The beautiful stars, which are so clear in Montpellier considering that it is a big city with many lights

- The amazing trams. I got to ride on the blue one quite a few times!

 And there are many more great memories besides!

 So to everyone who went on the trip or helped to organize it, I want to say a huge thank you because I have truly had the time of my life.

 Merci Beaucoup!
