Waiting for the train

Here are some of our girls waiting to get on the train at the closest station to our residence (Nice Riquier) to head to Monaco for the afternoon with the photography class. Patience is a virtue often re-explored in French train stations - the trains are often late!

Miam Miam Moules!

One of the best parts about being abroad is getting to sample the local cuisine! Here are Sophie V., Marissa and Alex (left to right) digging into an old French classic - moules marinieres.

Musee Picasso

This photo was taken during our day trip to the enchanting medieval seaside town of Antibes. Here the group is outside the world-famous Musee Picasso after a guided visit of the museum. It was all smiles on this sunny Sunday afternoon!

Kayaking at St. Jean Cap Ferrat

Our Thursday afternoons have belonged to the breathtaking corner of the Riviera known as St. Jean Cap Ferrat. We have cooking workshops in the restaurant of a seaside hotel called Fregate. The students form groups and take turns preparing different courses that we then eat for dinner all together in the salon of the hotel. And while the students aren't cooking, they are kayaking among the star-studded Mediterranean yachts. Not bad for a Thursday afternoon!
