Aero: Gabrielle Johnson – France 2014 – City Life

Aero: Gabrielle Johnson – France 2014 – City Life Walking down the city streets of France was slightly dissimilar from many cities in the United States.

Aero: Gabrielle Johnson – France 2014 – History and Culture

Aero: Gabrielle Johnson – France 2014 – History and Culture France is a unique country. From its romantic language, to Frances’ world renowned cuisine, to the first of its kind art and architectural designs; France is far from an ordinary, run of the mill country.

Aero: Kelsey Hamilton – France 2014 – History and Culture

Aero: Kelsey Hamilton – France 2014 – History and Culture I remember sitting in my high school history class learning about WWII, and thinking to myself that’s crazy, but yet blowing it off like “ehh that was years ago it doesn’t matter anymore”.

Aero: Kelsey Hamilton – France 2014 – Food and Dining

Aero: Kelsey Hamilton – France 2014 – Food and Dining Coming from a country that is constantly on the go, using drive thru’s like Dunkin Donuts, Starbucks, and McDonald’s as a constant go-to for food, has altered our understanding of what good real rich food tastes like.

Aero: Kelsey Hamilton – France 2014 – City Life

Aero: Kelsey Hamilton – France 2014 – City Life The city is never a place I have visited often, even here at home. I have been to New York a few times, and Rochester but never truly spent a long period of time in a city. Quite frankly half the time I can’t stand the […]

Aero: Kelsey Hamilton – France 2014 – Life at School As I prepared myself for school my first day, I wasn’t sure what to expect. My thoughts brought me to some movies I had watched before. With a European school being very formal, and uptight; and it made me think to myself that I was going […]

Aero: Claire Darling – France 2014 – Life at School The French high school had a much different atmosphere than those in the United States. It seemed as though the students had more freedom.  The amount of kids who smoked at the high school was incredible. It seemed like everyone did. Smoking is only allowed in […]

Aero: Claire Darling – France 2014 – History and Culture

Aero: Claire Darling – France 2014 – History and Culture It was very strange being in a place where so many things have such great historical value; the French don’t seem to notice. The French are totally used to having a rich history and culture, the fact that the Vitré town hall is in a 14th […]

Aero: Claire Darling – France 2014 – City Life

Aero: Claire Darling – France 2014 – City Life Paris was a completely different world. Vitrè seemed more like the authentic quiet France that I expected, while Paris is a mixture of cultures, languages and a whole lot of tourists. Paris also contains tons of monuments, museums and important historical sights. It was like a much […]
