Saturday 21st March

We had to wake up early on Saturday because the bus had to leave the school at 8 AM.  We went to Brioude and it took about an hour to get there. It was raining when we arrived there. In Brioude we visited the Museum of Lace. There we got to make some lace bracelets. We also had a tour in the museum where we saw some amazing pieces of art all made of lace. Unfortunately, we weren’t allowed to take any pictures there. But this is what making lace looks like:

Great concentration

 

And here are some lace works from the street

 After the Museum of Lace we had some free time and then we went to eat lunch to St. Beauzire. There we had a local dish, potatoes and cheese. After that we visited the castle of Chavaniac Lafayette. The weather was very cold and the tour was quite long. But we learned some interesting facts about the history of that castle and the people who used to live there.

We were back at school around 6 pm. The host families were waiting for us and all of us got to spend the rest of the evening with the host family. My host family and I went to the grocery store, ate food from McDonalds and watched Netflix. It was a day of fun after all!
