It’s been a busy weekend for the French Academy; in addition to the Olympics, they took trips to Middlebury College on Friday and Burlington on Sunday. The Middlebury trip involved a campus tour and a stop at Lake Dunmore on a beautiful afternoon. In Burlington, the students went on a boat cruise on Lake Champlain and then had free time to walk around town with their language groups. After a weekend of adventure, the students are back and busy preparing performances for Friday’s World Expo.
