Vlog #4 - Amboise!

Hey guys! It's already night here, and the day was really great!



 We went to the Château d'Amboise, which was really beautiful, even if the day wasn't that good. I took a lot of pictures, which you can view on my Facebook page, but I'll upload some here aswell:





That's the only château I've visited till now, but we're thinking about renting a van and going to another one this Sunday. After the visit to the castle, I went back to the school with 3 of my other classmates who were there and we had a baking class, and we made a Galette de Rois:

If you look closely, you can see the Brazilian, English and French flag!
The Eurocentres School of Amboise

After eating the Galette, me and friends from the school -Jamile, Ana and Murilo- walked around town, went to the bookstore (where I got some fashion magazines to improve my french vocabularie!), and tried to find a nice, open little restaurant/bar to enjoy the evening. After a lot of walking around, we ended up at Ô Pub. It was empty except for us and two other guys, but, like everyone here says, "c'est l'hiver!".


It was very nice and the people were very polite and helpful. All in all, a great way to end a great day. Tomorrow, I have class untill 6pm, and I think I might go to the movies after that... If not, I'll stay home, read and study a bit, and hopefully finally make another fashion post (maybe about the sneakers trend?). On verra!

Grosses bises,

Vlog #3 - Arrival

Hey guys! I'm writing this from Amboise, a small city in France where I'll be staying for about a month. I left Paris yesterday by train and when I got here Madame Bouteillier, my hostess, picked me up at the Gare. Everything went well, even if I did jump out of the train before than I should have, having to wait in the cold before another one came.

Brrr!
The house is very good (and warm, which really is a relief!) and Madame Bouteillier is very nice and welcoming. I haven't taken any pictures of the city yet, but I intend to do so today, when I go out for lunch and "faire des cours" at the flea market.




There's another exchange student staying here, who (Gasp!) is also Brazilian. I'm trying not to speak Portuguese, though, and make better use of my time being in France! School starts Monday, and I'm looking forward to getting to know the other students and the teachers.

Au revoir mes chéries!
