Baldwin students experience French language and cultural immersion during spring break

​This past​ Spring Break​,​ the Pre ​​-​ ​AP French ​class ​students had the opportunity to go to France in a full language and cultural immersion trip. ​For one week students lived in the southern French city of Toulouse with host families who made the utmost to show their city, traditions, and customs to our kids. During ​our stay, we had the opportunity to go to school with their "French brothers and sisters" and ​get a glance ​into the daily life of a French teenager. After this already amazing experience, the group travel​ed​ by train to spend a weekend in Paris. They ​had a marvelous time biking through​ the City of Lights, tasting traditional French food in different restaurants, walking around in the Artist District of Montmartre, visiting french markets, museums, cathedrals, and many other ​places​. ​this was definitely a li​f​e changing experience that our Baldwin French students will never forget ​about, ​and ​it ​proves​ that ​the ​hard work ​of ​learning a third language ​does have its rewards."
