Welcome to Angoulême !!!
On the 28th september 2019, at 7:14 pm, the Australian correspondants arrived in Angoulême’s train station. Before their arrival, we came at 6:45 pm to have the last information about their journey in our town. After 26 hours by plane and 3 hours by train, they finally arrived in our city under applauses from the french families. They were really tired so we went as fast as possible in our respective house.
For our part, our correspondants met our family and our pets around pizzas and the movie “Back to the future”. They, of course, settled in their new room, and then went to bed.
The hosting had started…

Wednesday October the 2nd, we went to Treetop adventure course (accrobranche in French) but before that we ate in family. The parents drove us to Soyaux, it was near the Megarama, in a beautiful forest. We weren’t sure about what we were going to do, if it was raining we had to go to Megarama to watch a french movie. But fortunately, we could do Treetop adventure course ! We equiped us with harness and snaplink. There were five differents courses : green, orange, easy blue, hard blue and red (the easiest to the hardest). On the courses, there were zip lines, rope with plank, just rope sometimes, nets… We spend 2 hours and 30 minutes to do. It was a really fun activity that we did with the Australians guys !

Thursday 10th of October, we went at the Letuff workshop. We were in groupe of ten people and we made our own chocolate bowl. We put the melted chocolate in molds and we put it in the refrigerator for 5 minutes.When we removed the mold it looked like a nest of chocolate. But some nest was broken. After, we watched a video about recipes of Letuff specialities and we went back to school, with our chocolate nest. Carla & Clotilde |
When the Australian students were in France, they lived in the family of their Pen-friend. Thanks to that, they discovered trench culture and food. Like french bread, cheese, raclette and others differents specialities. Without forgetting the timetable and the highschool of their Pen-friend. They did activities like ice skating, treetop adventure, bowling, karting, cooking… With their Penfriend family they visited castle, sea, other regions like Auvergne and Dordogne. They came with gifts from Australia like Tim Tam (chocolate biscuit), vegemite spread, chocolate, a lot of presents…
