To wrap up the week, we organized a very friendly travel get-together at CILFA.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

After discussing the different types of tourists, the students presented their favorite trips using photos. We were thus taken to the four corners of the world to see magnificent landscapes: France, Italy, Spain (including the Camino de Santiago), the United States and Hawaii, the Philippines, Thailand, Japan, Australia, and New Caledonia. <\/p>\n

There were, of course, many discussions in French as a Foreign Language, and the students asked a lot of questions.<\/p>\n

Finally, they watched a 30-minute slideshow introducing West Africa (particularly its many French-speaking countries) through the lens of cycling.<\/p>\n

Did you know that there are 55 countries in Africa and that the population there totals 1.2 billion?<\/p>\n

If you feel like it, by the way, a travelers’ forum will be held on November 24 and 25 in Annecy: https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/forumvoyageurs\/<\/a><\/p>\n

A wonderful travel festival takes place every year in October near Annecy: http:\/\/www.grandbivouac.com\/fr<\/a><\/p>\n

Would you like to try a bike trip, too? Why not join the CilfaCyclette, which our school organizes every summer? https:\/\/www.tezdev.cilfa.fr\/la-cilfacyclette\/<\/a><\/p>\n

A poem about travel:<\/p>\n

Blessed is he who, like Odysseus, has taken a wonderful journey,<\/em>
\nOr like the one who won the fleece,<\/em>
\nAnd then he returned, full of wisdom and reason,<\/em>
\nTo live with one’s parents for the rest of one’s life!<\/em><\/p>\n

When will I see again, alas, my little village?<\/em>
\nSmoking the chimney, and in which season<\/em>
\nWill I ever see the courtyard of my humble home again,<\/em>
\nWho is just a province to me, and much more?<\/em><\/p>\n

I like the living room that my ancestors built even more,<\/em>
\nMay the bold facades of Roman palaces,<\/em>
\nI prefer the slate to hard marble:<\/em><\/p>\n

More my Gallic dormouse, than the Latin Tiber,<\/em>
\nMore my little Lir\u00e9, than the Mount Palatin,<\/em>
\nAnd even more than the sea air, the gentle charm of Anjou.<\/em><\/p>\n
