I had the honor of delivering this morning’s address on Living and Working Abroad. It was nice to see so many people asking questions, many of whom were the French graduate students.
The teams then reconvened, as they continued work on their presentations. We then took a short, 45-minute drive to the Troglodytes, which are underground caves. (By the way, if you live underground in French, no taxes are due!). There we dined on fouées, which are little semicircular pieces of bread, almost akin to a flat biscuit. In the middle we put mushrooms, beans and / or salad. It was quite a feast, followed by dessert.
After lunch, everyone got back on the bus and we headed to the Lebreton wine vineyard for a tour and tasting. The students did a great job supporting both the vineyard and the French economy with their purchases! 🙂
We’re now back in Angers. Several of the students are headed for crepes with their fellow French students. A free night for the rest of us.
More presentation work & a chateau tour tomorrow.
