June 1, Arrivée

Students arrive throughout the morning to the Pension Ladagnous, Paris from NYC, Canada, DC, and LA. New friendships are established as rooms are prepared and everyone exchanges travel stories. At 1pm a first group explores the neighborhood with Meg & Gaby, orienting the students to the charming and intimate shops of the 6th arrondisement. Phone cards, metro cards and food locations are located. A later walk introduces the Jardin du Luxembourg and the temporary art exhibit, “Du vent dans les branches”. A picnic dinner at the Pension completes our first day.
