Yesterday, the whole class took a bus tour to visit the Caverne du Dragon (Dragon's Lair), a cave that was used by both the Germans and French during the World War 1 battle of the Aisne. The tour was very interesting, with the whole class accompanied by a few veterans from the association that paid for the class visit and for the bus. (Not WW1 veterans! they would be 90 yrs old, at least!) By the end of the visit, it was clear to all the children that war should be avoided if at all possible.

Today, we went to visit another site not far from here, the Abbaye of Chiry-Ourscamp (the link in French is much more informative). It is a beautiful place, as the picture shows of the old nave, which was never rebuilt. So it looks like a church without a roof in the middle of a beautiful garden. In fact, there are a few more buildings where the monks live, but they still say the mass in the middle of the church sometimes.
