Au Revoir, CCHS!

Fifteen students to visit France through exchange program…

Posted by your chaperones: Ms Hemming and Ms Madore

It’s not April in Paris, actually it’s February in Rennes. Today, February twelfth, all 17 of us are leaving Central to embark on our exchange program in Rennes, France. Rennes is a city of over 200, 000 in the province of Brittany. Brittany is located in the northwest coastal region of France. All fifteen students and ourselves will be studying at Lycée de la Salle and will stay in the homes of students and teachers of Lycée de la Salle. Lycée de la Salle is a high school founded by the Christian Brothers in 1954.

Our exchange program runs from February 12 – 26. The CCHS students will attend classes at Lycée de la Salle. When the class day is over, the students will tour the province of Brittany, visiting Mont Saint-Michel, the Caen Memorial, the D-day beaches of Arromanches and the American Cemetery. The CCHS students will also have the opportunity to visit many of the cultural sites in Paris such as The Eiffel Tower, Notre-Dame and The Louvre. We will make two stops in Paris; once before arriving in Rennes and once before returning to the United States.
