One of the main attractions of Dinan was it's bell tower that can be seen from almost any point in the city. We used the bell tower as our meeting point.
Students were split up into groups for the excursion. Some of them decided to climb up it to see the beautiful view of the city that the tower had to offer us.
We were also deafened by the ringing of the bell:
As you can see it then photo below, the facades of the buildings in Dinan are rather interesting.
After our visit to Dinan we went to Saint Malo, a walled-city in Brittany. Host families prepared lunches for the students. Students had so much food packed in their lunches that most of them didn't finish them and had something left over for later.
After lunch, students broke once again into groups and visited St. Malo and/or the beach:
Following St. Malo, we visited the infamous Mont St. Michel:
Here are two group photos of the students at Mont St Michel:
Finally, the tired crew that we were, left for the chateau at Lyon sur Mer.
At dinner, we celebrated Anju's 17th birthday. Once again, joyeux anniversaire Anju!
We desperately wanted to go to the beach after dinner but unfortunately, as they say in French, il pleuvait des cordes (it was raining rope). So, we stayed in the chateau. Some of us played guitar and sang lovely French songs while others did Tae Boe'd it.
The next day, we went and visited the Memorial in Caen, the larget World War two museum in the world.
We also visited Omaha Beach. The students showed a lot of respect for Omaha Beach.
