Our Last Excursion and week in Rennes

Our last week of the program flew by! First we had our full weekend excursion in the western part of Bretagne. Our first stop was the quaint town of Pont Aven. It is known for its famous cookies and many artists, including Paul Gauguin, spending time there because of its beauty.

Next we headed to Quimper where we enjoyed a tour of the city and its renowned cathedral which has stained glass windows dating back to 1417!

We stayed the night in Concarneau, a lovely coastal town. Students loved being able to sit on the rocks and watch the sunset, or just relax and enjoy the sounds of the ocean. We were also able to check out the fortress in the city that was also impressive.

On Sunday, we made our way to Locronan, a beautiful celtic-esque city in Bretagne. 

After lunch, we headed to Château de Trévarez which was built in the late 19th century. It was bombed during World War II because the Nazis were occupying it. We were still able to enjoy it's beautiful grounds and explore parts of the interior. 

After our weekend trip, the adventure continue with some canoeing, kayaking, paddle boarding, and rafting! Fun was had by all who participated. We went home very wet, but very happy.

On Tuesday, students had to do a Human Scavenger Hunt. They had to talk to French people all around town and ask them many different things in order to get points. We had two teams that came back at the same time with all of the questions answered. Way to go!

Then we went bowling!

Lastly, on Wednesday we had an incredible hip hop dance class. We were all too busy dancing to take pictures, but he's a group shot with our instructor.
