Nos amies d'EPSOM viennent de partir pour l'Espagne. Elles sont restées avec nous 4 jours, du 7 Avril au soir au 11 Avril au matin :  ce fut court, trop court mais si intense !

Nous avons pu constater que les échanges numériques ayant eu lieu au préalable ont permis à...

This evening the Mayor of Chauny held a reception in the town hall. The venue was very beautiful. There were lots of speeches from visiting dignitaries all in The French language. The photo shows the Mayor speaking. Mr Coutts spoke on our behalf (in Maori, French and English, and Mr Gallop translated the English part of the speech. The students supported Mr Coutts' speech by singing a song in Maori after his speech.
