Tour of Villefranche-sur-Mer

Saturday, April 9 2011.

The school organized for its students a guided tour of the little village where it is located.  I should say this was really more like a class disguised as a tour, as it was all in French, naturally.  We met from 10am to noon and were led around to some great sites.  It was the smartest I had felt all week - because some other tourists happened by our group as we were listening intently to our guide - and then took off when they couldn't understand him.  We, the students, couldn't understand everything he said, either, but the tourists didn't know that!

Some of the residences in the old city.


We don't see English very much here, and then when I find some, it's wrong!  Four misplaced apostrophes, my favorite gripe.  Apparently this isn't a problem only in Minnesota.
