We have a packed schedule, so this update will be a little short, and sans pictures, but we’ll soon have time in Paris to share more about notre aventures!
We left Blois on Sunday after visiting the castles of Chambord and Cheverny. On our last day in Blois we did our laundry and explored Blois' weekly market where we grabbed lunch while waiting for our clothes to dry. After lunch we headed over to the park for a water balloon fight a la français and a game of yogaball soccer, a spectacle that definitely endeared us to local children!
That night we had a delicious farewell dinner at a restaurant on the bank of the Loire River and the next morning we headed off early to catch the train to Le Conquet. The train ride from Blois to Le Conquet took most of the day on Sunday but we arrived in the early evening and settled into our new home in Bretagne.
The inn where we are staying is also a farm, and is located just outside the town of Le Conquet. The local beach is only a quick jaunt away and we spent our first evening here exploring the beach and the gorgeous trails along the coast.
Students have spent much of the last few days participating in local internships (details about that coming soon!) and exploring Le Conquet by bicycle. This afternoon we will split into two groups, one of which will venture out on horseback while the other group dons snorkeling gear for an underwater adventure.
Paris glows luminously on our horizon – we look forward to checking in from there!
à bientôt!
Karen and Noah
