I awoke at the God-awful hour (for a jet-lagged traveler) of 7:15 and departed from my host family's house at 7:45. I made it to school around 8:15 and around 9:30 the orientation began. We met our teachers, all of whom have great senses of humor, and learned the rules and regulations of SYA France. We explored our school house and the surrounding grounds, which are magnificent. There's a garden called Les Jardins du Thabor filled to the brim with all types of roses, big lawns and even a playground - the perfect place for doing homework in peace on a sunny day.
We went to lunch at the private school down the road from us and after relaxed in the school's courtyard. Quality start to the school year.
After school, a group of us went to run some errands and get a feel for the area around school. We found this tiny hole-in-the wall restaurant that nobody else was in, sat down, befriended the owner and now we feel like locals.
Excuse the photo quality:
