A small return on holiday: we left all three in the Ardeche in the car on Easter Sunday. Some details needed before returning to our room: We stayed in St Romain Lerps, north of the Ardeche, in the 1st mountains bordering the valley of the Rhone. So our holidays were "lulled" ventilated by a wind, uh, sustained and continuous ... so we had to fill our shoes and bags ...
Every night, Stephane accompanied Jade Park games.
Monday, before Stephane Labour Party, "bells" were spent in the house! For this first day, we stayed in the village. Il y avait un belvédère à 100m du gîte avec une vue à 360° très loin (à priori 13 départements visibles !) : le Vercors, le Mont Blanc, le mont Ventoux, l'Ardèche ... super nice and impressive.
Tuesday we went to discover the Pont du Gard giant, in a beautiful natural setting. And perfect to illustrate our approach to antiquity.
Wednesday, little outing to the park at 100m after watching cartoons.
Thursday Nimes direction: his house square (under construction), the Tour Magne and park fountains, arena! It is a rich city and that should be surveyed several days.
Friday, after a long time to playground of St Peray, we climbed the hill leading to the castle ruins Crussol: it is a pleasant walk and a significant monument. The view is superb. No playground in the evening, but a warm friend of Stéphane: thank you to all of you!
Saturday we went to every 3 Amanins to discover the site, a meal and a workshop for making adobe bricks and mud. Too taken by this discovery, I did not take pictures and I bit my fingers! We saw the school: the building is very nice! The court is extra: trees, wood, rocks, grass ... Montessori is not the only approach. I want to learn more about the contribution of cooperative games and education for peace. Children have a mediating role that seems to work, but it's a long learning! I clearly understand that this failure was at the school where I taught! Know-how (training, too?) Teacher is required!
Sunday, a climb on the rock star Voulte and extract out some fossils. A rapid shift to the station to see if our trains are maintained. And a walk on the mountains bordering Sweet Valley. Climbing down a waterfall to Jade and Stephane and reading in the sun for me.
Monday morning, the train arrived a little late: TGV a crowded, impossible to reach our seats. Bus easy to find in Paris (thank you Stephen). But arrived 10 minutes after the start of our correspondence! In ter tgv then we have taken, we settled comfortably! My mom was waiting at the station in Royan! Thanks Mom!
It was an amazing week enjoyable. Stephen thank you for your availability and your attention to our respect! Thank you Jade for your smile and your enthusiasm! Times as nice I still want to share! (Well, not necessarily with the same wind, hi, hi, hi!)
