Bayeux is a
dream, especially for a French-speaking art history student/lover like myself ! My host family has balanced giving me a taste
of family life with showing me the beautiful sights in Normandy. After classes one day, it was amazing to see
the Bayeux tapestry. Leila (’13) and I
reveled in every scene, talking about what we already knew (from our Art
History class at SSSAS) and what we were learning. The best part of the trip, though, is how comfortable
I’m beginning to feel speaking French.
This experience has been priceless !

This exchange
has been one of the most rewarding and enjoyable experiences of my life ! Not only have I formed wonderful
relationships with the French students, my French has also improved
greatly. The students’ welcoming and
warm nature have allowed me to feel confident in my speaking abilities, even if
I still have to practice. In addition, I
have seen and admired some of the most gorgeous art and architecture in
Europe. Apart from the hospitality and
history though, I’ve experienced French laser tag, billiards, and high
school. It has all been so fascinating !
