The rain which greeted IV Form girls when they arrived in France's premier fishing port did not dampen their spirits as they embarked on their recent cultural visit. Walking up to the historic old town they noted the different symbols and signs on many of the buildings which delighted the artists among them. From the ramparts they could see both the old and new towns as well as study the excavations currently taking place around the old city walls. In the Cathedral they admired the second biggest dome in Europe and were intrigued by the legend of the "Virgin of the sea". The wet weather encouraged the girls to try out their French in the cafes and finally each group was given a budget to buy items for a well balanced healthy meal to be consumed on the way home. A quiz on all they had seen and learned during the day kept them busy for the rest of the return journey and they were surprised at how many curriculum areas had been touched on in a day!
