Our last week in Nice has been packed with activities and unfortunately gone by far too quickly. We visited 3 art museums this week and saw quite a range of works. We took a guided visit of the Musée Chagall and learned a lot about his religious inspirations. We also got to visit MAMAC, Nice’s modern art museum, as well as the museum of ...
I had the opportunity to explore one of the most beautiful cities in the French Riviera: St-Tropez. Abbey Road students boarded the bus, and we drove off to the famous town. Upon arrival, we walked through the city and found our meeting spot at the Office de Tourisme. We broke up into smaller groups, and I began to shop with my friends. Many ...
Ever since I was little, I have always gotten cold sores. They hurt. They are ugly. There is surely nothing good about them. So today when I noticed the beginning signs of a cold sore underneath my nose, I could not have been any more displeased. It just so happens that, later on that afternoon, I had to pay a visit to the apartment of two of ...
The past three days have been amazing (as you can probably guess from my overly exuberant title). We went to St-Tropez with the 'Nice Kids'. It was incredible - definitely somewhere I would want to return to in the future. It wasn't so much the scenery, but the ambiance; even though it was super touristy, there was still a level of chicness we ...
For our last cooking group in Aix, we gave the students a special recipe for the Iron Chef competition. Team by team, they worked out rapidity, aesthetics, and flavors and cooked for a jury. It was a difficult decision to choose the best team! They prepared as first dish with a fresh salad of grapefruit and endives, then stuffed zucchinis with ...
These past few days have been a little bittersweet, as the thought of leaving this beautiful city hangs over our heads. But nonetheless, we have been able to enjoy every minute of these precious days with each other and in Nice. Wednesday, we drove three hours to Saint-Tropez for a full day of shopping, exploring, and beach-going. It was a ...
This past week has been so much fun! While in St-Tropez, I was lucky to have spent the day with one of my great friends from Italy. We lounged poolside at his house and then went to lunch at one of his favorite beach clubs, Club 55. I then met up with the rest of the group, and we returned home. The ride was lengthy, but the trip was ...
Bonjour tout le monde from Aix-en-Provence! It's hard to believe that our trip is finally coming to an end... Aix feels like home for all of us now. It will be strange having to shift back to the American lifestyle after living for so long in France. The past few days have been so fun! The highlight of Wednesday, in my opinion, was the iron ...
As the week came to its halfway point, reality set in; we are leaving soon! Four people are going to Paris, and most others are going on other exotic vacations or visiting family in Europe. The big worry on everyone's mind is how they are going to fit everything they bought in their suitcases! In French class on Wednesday, we went to a ...
