Le 14 juillet on a célébré la fête nationale française aux bords d’une piscine et dans la compagnie d’un chef convivial français dans la beauté des “Pâturages du ciel” (“Pastures of Heaven”) renommés de Steinbeck. Merci à tous d’y être venus, on a passé un moment super ensemble.

There was a a French chef eager to talk to us, take food and drink orders, describe his own July 14th traditions… and then the afternoon was the students’ to relax in the pool, sun bathe, sauna: une vraie célébration de la fête estivale à la française, enfin!
