Exploring Rennes
Authored By:
On day 2 in Rennes, students spent some time in the classroom and then starting exploring their new city. On day 2, students spent the morning in class and then we went to the Place St. Anne where everyone chose their own restaurants to eat at. The sandwicherie was a very popular choice.
The desserts were especially tempting!
After everyone chose their food à emporter (to take away), we all went to eat lunch at the Parc du Thabor. It was very scenic and since it was a little drizzly out in the morning, we had the place to ourselves!
After lunch, we went on a Rallye de 5 sens where students used their 5 senses to learn more about the history and culture of the city. They used sight to find ancient symbols of Bretagne in classical architecture and to locate the old drawbridge entrance to the city on a map...
They used smell to identify typical Rennais cuisine.... the caramel smelled a lot better than the sardines!
And they used touch to identify important building materials...
We also got to taste a delicious pastry that can only be bought at one specific bakery in Rennes, but this photographer was a little too preoccupied with the cake to remember to take pictures!
We are having a blast in Rennes! More to come soon...
