by Savannah B. As I traveled via New York to Nice the wonderful Abbey Road staff greeted me at the airport and helped me check my baggage and get situated. Their smiling faces made the farewells much easier as I knew I would be in good hands. Once I arrived we drove through Nice to the residence, and I was surrounded by the most beautiful ...
by Grant T. One hour after I arrived in St. Laurent, I met up with my roommates and the rest of the group for dinner at a restaurant by the beach. Everybody was very nice about welcoming me into the group even though I had arrived later! Right after eating dinner, we all went to a street party in the next town over. The music there was very ...

After living in the south of France for a month, we had to come to terms with a sad reality: we're leaving! To spend our final day in St-Laurent, my roommate and I went to the beach with our homestay family. We visited Théoule-sur-mer and found a beautiful, isolated beach lined by red cliffs. We spent hours on the beach just relaxing and ...
Aix is over! It is with beautiful images, memories, and new friendship that our students went back home. Our last moments together were again a blast. We had a talent show where everyone made a dance, a song or a play and we had great fun. [ 3 first photos] Our trip to the fishing village to cassis was amaizing ! After a visit of the Calanques, ...
I cannot believe my last day in St-Laurent-du-Var has finally arrived... This month has truly gone by in the blink of an eye, and I think that attests to my love of all things Abbey Road.
