The trip to Normandy

The trip to Normandy was fantastic. We all had a great time. We met partners of the Comenius Project from 4 countries: France, Turkey, Estonia, Italy. We learnt many things about water, which is the subject of the project, and we visited beautiful places.

The first day, Wednesday, 6th of March, we left High School at 5:00 am, because our flight from Porto (Portugal ) was at 11:00 am, with a destination to Paris (France).

At the airport in Porto…waiting for our flight to Paris!

At last in Paris!!!...waiting for the bus to Grand Quevilly

There we waited for the bus which took us to a very beautiful little village - Grand Quevilly. It is situated near Rouen. We arrived to the village at 19:00.

The following day, on the 7th of March (Thursday), we visited the college. There we made a lot of activities with our partners from Estonia, Turkey, Italy and France: music workshops, films …. Even circus!!

The third day, we presented our works about water: table games (Pingüin 007, the Game of the Water…) and all our works made during this course. This day we had lunch in a professional school for future “chefs”, typical French food…which was delicious.

That afternoon, we visited the nearest city, Rouen. It is a typical Normandy city, with beautiful buildings.

The same evening, they organized a party, where we spent a good time, dancing to music from Turkey, Estonia, Italy, France and Spain.

On Saturday, we visited beautiful villages on the way to the Normandy coast. I loved their beaches, but…they have only stones, no sand!!!

That evening…which was last in France, the families of our French partners invited us to have dinner at their homes.  They all were very kind.

On Sunday we came back home. Our flight was via Barcelona. We spent 5 unforgettable days in France.

An experience to recommend!!
