Bonjour! Welcome to our blog, where we will be documenting our trip to Montpellier with the French department. Not only will we be spending a week in this beautiful city, but we will also be staying with French host families, attending a languages school, visiting the historic town of Carcassonne and fully immersing ourselves in the French way of life ♥

3 days to go!

 Bonjour!

 We are setting out for Carcassonne on Friday, and I am ecstatic! I adore this beautiful medieval town and am looking forward to walking down its sunny streets again, eating crêpes, exploring all the quirky little shops, and admiring the huge castle.


 It's also nice to know that we will be visiting the town where scenes of Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves were filmed!





 We will then travel on Montpellier, where we will be staying for the rest of the trip.



This is an amazing city whose famous university and huge student scene make it a brilliant place to stay; dynamic and thriving with things to do - shops, bars and restaurants of every description; the aquarium, the zoo, bowling, the cinema, LazerQuest, wonderful open-air markets and the spectacular multicoloured trams which can really put a smile on your face.




 So, this promises to be an amazing trip. We will try to keep this blog updated with stories, photos and hopefully video clips of our time in the beautiful Languedoc-Rousillon (the French region in which Montpellier and Carcassonne can be found).

 Merci de lire.
