23 BHS French students spent 11 days in March in France. They visited the castles of the Loire Valley,<br />
Napoleon’s palace at Fontainebleau, the cathedral at Chartres, as well as the monuments in Paris. They stayed<br />
with French families in Saint-Germain-en-Laye (a suburb of Paris). The exchange continued when on April 22,<br />
25 French students from St. Erémbert <strong>School</strong> visited us at <strong>Battlefield</strong> for 11 days. They stayed in the homes of<br />
our American French students. The exchange went well and all students on both sides of the Atlantic benefitted<br />
greatly from the experience.<br />
