Dernier jour en France 😢
We can tell we're on our way home after hours of passing through beautiful French countryside en car, as the weather has got bleaker and the Friday bank holiday/half term traffic has hit with a vengeance. We're sad to be back but want to say a grand merci à tous nos superbes élèves for their willingness to really enter into the spirit of the exchange. They have been a delight all week.
The weather too has been glorious all week and yesterday was no exception. We had a beautiful sunny day for the annual joint outing to the theme park Le Futuroscope, a big hit amongst the students. Some nouveautés this year included a film about Thomas Pesquet, the French equivalent of Tim Peake, revealing incredible images and footage taken from the ISS, a virtual reality 'Racing Xperience' and a 4D around the world 'Extraordinaire Voyage'.
Miss Lang got vertigo at the Aérobar, enjoying a refreshing drink (of water) 35m up in the air, whilst others cooled off at Le Splash, danced with the robots, or lounged on bean bags in shadier spots.
Bref, une excellente fin à un excellent voyage!
Only 3 hours to go at time of writing before home sweet home. Strange déjà-vu as we stop at the UK services for one last McDonalds before hometime!
A l'année prochaine!
Mrs Bowie, Miss Lang and Mr Holgate
