Soiree Bowling

On Sunday students spent the day at Saint Paul de Vence, one of France's most beautiful fortified cities. It is perched high in the mountains overlooking the Cote d'Azur. Later in the evening students returned to Nice for a night of bowling and billiards. Amine ended up winning but Patrick came in a close second with 100 points.

Parasailing

On Monday students were treated to an afternoon of parasailing along the beaches of Nice. Those who participated got a bird's eye view of the city and surrounding mountains.

L'anniversaire de Brett

On Wednesday night we celebrated Brett's 16th birthday by eating some local desserts including tarte aux fruits, Trianon and Millefeuile. We all danced the night away and even got to here some very interesting versions of some classic songs.

Bordighera

On Tuesday students were treated to a surprise day in Italy. We travelled by train in the morning to the small border town of Bordighera. We spent the morning relaxing on the beach and then had a group dinner in a small pizzeria. Students got to try fresh made pasta and pizzas. Afterwards we climbed to the old town and walked the narrow cobbled streets. We ended our excursion with gelato and a bit of shopping before returning to Nice.

Eze

On Sunday afternoon students continued on to the hilltop town of Eze. There we took a tour of the Fragonard perfume factory and students got to test out their skills as a professional "nez". Afterwards students were given the chance to climb to the top of the city for a spectacular view of the Cote D'Azur from the Exotic Gardens. For dinner we returned to Nice and had a sampling of some of the regions specialties including stuffed tomatoes, salade nicoise and stuffed mussels.

Monaco

On Sunday morning students travelled by bus to the principality of Monaco. In the morning we took a tour of the palace and surrounding neighborhoods and spent some time in the Oceanography Museum. Students walked through the beautiful gardens surrounding the palace overlooking the sea.

Antibes

On Saturday our group took a train to the neighboring town of Antibes. Students started out the day by exploring the Picasso museum in town and then relaxing on the beach.
