Bonjour! Welcome to our blog, where we will be documenting our trip to Montpellier with the French department. Not only will we be spending a week in this beautiful city, but we will also be staying with French host families, attending a languages school, visiting the historic town of Carcassonne and fully immersing ourselves in the French way of life ♥

Lundi

 Bonjour tout le monde!


 Today we had our first morning of lessons at l'Ecole Klesse; the work was challenging but really enjoyable. We are in two groups; in my group we worked on techniques for writing a good essay or presentation; this is a very important skill for both the upper- and lower-sixth French exams, so we all found it really helpful.

 Today was Rachel's birthday and yesterday was Bethan's, so we had a little party for them at the Ecole with cake and we sang "Joyeux Anniversire." It was really nice. After lessons we went and ate in Montpellier; we ended up in a little park with a beautiful and unusual fountain - hopefully I can upload a photo soon! We then explored the city and some people did a bit of shopping.

 We rendez-voused in the centre of Montpellier for le course de trésor (the treasure hunt); this was nice because it enabled us to look all around Montpellier while trying to answer all the questions we had been given about the city. I saw parts of the city I'd never seen before, and I had thought that I knew the place pretty well! Montpellier will never run out of surprises, no matter how long you spend there. It is a city like no other ♥

 Tomorrow we are going to the aquarium and then LazerQuest! Should be fun! These were two of the best parts of last year's trip, so it should be a pretty great day.

 A demain,
