At the "booling" (french prononciation of bowling)

We all had a grand time bowling - although personally, I would have liked to have had the bumpers up! The LaSalle students all seemed to be doing well, and enjoyed sharing their first impressions :) Ms. Miller was the official photographer - watch this space for some action shots 😄

Airport adventures!

This is a picture of all the students when we arrived in Paris. They were all very excited!

During our layover in Paris, all of the students worked hard on their homework! They represented LaSalle wonderfully! 

Here is a picture of some students boarding our plane to Rennes. The students were very excited that we got to walk outside to get on the plane. 

All of the students waiting to board our final plane. 

Our wonderful welcome to France!

Reuniting with their students. 

A warm welcome to France! 

After the students met their families at the airport, we all went to their school for some snacks and refreshments. 

At St.  Michel, our students were greeted by some of the younger children, who made a video for them about their school. As you can see in this picture, our students were celebrities at the school and everyone wanted to meet them!

All of the students are doing well and were very respectful on the planes. I am very impressed with how well all of the students are speaking French and their capabilities to communicate! They are also wonderful translators for Ms. Miller and I. :)

Hope you enjoy the pictures,

The Trip

Wow! What an easy, problem-free trip. ALL the students worked on their LLA assignments on the plane and while waiting for our second flight in the airport in Paris. "Quels élèves sérieux!". The students were impeccably behaved, and, so far, I have not heard of anyone losing anything. BRAVO! I can't tell you about the second flight, as, having not slept during the first leg, I fell asleep once we took off, but Ms. Miller said it was very quiet, so I expect a lot of the students were asleep too. All our luggage arrived - which was a relief. They did want to charge us for our luggage for the second flight - but we managed to talk our way out of that. I have contacted the travel agent to try to make sure they don't try to pull that one on us on the return flights.

We had a lovely warm welcome at the small Rennes airport, and then were greeted at school with platters of freshly baked mini-croissants and pains au chocolat. Yummy! And so begins the "How much weight can we gain in 10 days" experiment😊 The students then returned home with their partners, on foot, by car, or on a school bus - much more comfortable than our school buses - more like a motor coach.

Today we we will meet the students at a bowling alley and hear all about their first day with their families. I can't wait to hear about their first impressions.

A plus tard, (or a+)
