Crystallization Pond at Terre De Sel. Guerande, France
Our first destination on Friday was Terre De Sel, a salt coop in Guerande, France. This company is assigned to my group for a project due on Wednesday. We were taught that making salt combines earth, wind, water and the sun. They rely solely on nature and they are proud of it. Without the use of machinery they do not produce any emissions or use much energy. The water flows from the channel into a lake where it continues to go into smaller sections until it is very concentrated, then it is pushed up onto clay and dried. A very interesting process.
Robotic Elephant. Nantes, France
After the visit of Terre De Sel, we traveled to the city of Nantes, which is bigger compared to Angers. We roamed the streets of the city and took a little tour of some landmarks of Nantes. We even saw a gigantic robotic elephant walk around and spray water from its trunk. It was very cool!
French Locals Line Dancing. Angers, France
The next day was a huge music festival in Angers, Fete De La Musique. There was musicians all over the streets playing all different genres of music.
Simawe at Fete De La Musique. Angers, France
The main square of the city had great musical acts all day, there were venders on the streets selling candies and other specialties. I ran into some of my friends from the program and spent the evening enjoying drinks, dancing and music.
The next day I awoke and was greeted with a nice afternoon barbecue. This was my last weekend in France. This coming week will consist of preparing for my project and French oral exam on Wednesday. Back to Paris on Thursday, then the flight home on Friday.
