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. There is one word I would deem fit to describe […]

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”. Then I got the chance to stand of the edge of the […]

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. When I first found out I would be […]

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 – Family Life

Aero: Kelsey Hamilton – France 2014 – Family Life I come from a loud obnoxious large Irish family of farmers, when we’re together we are either fighting, eating, or drinking. In a way I expected to be placed with a loud family such as mine, but what I got was nothing like that at all.  […]

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 […]

Aero: Claire Darling – France 2014 – Food and Dining Cafes can be found on every corner with indoor and outdoor seating just as you’d imagine. “Coffee” in France means a double shot of espresso or a latte (espresso and milk.) Some menus had a Café Americain which I imagine is watered down espresso but I […]
