Cultural Outing "The Royal Spring at the Parc de Sceaux"

🌸 Nature and Culture Escape: Our Students Celebrate Spring at the Parc de Sceaux

Who said you had to stay in Paris to discover the grandeur of France? Hop on the RER B for a destination fit for kings: the Domaine Départemental de Sceaux .

Between French-style gardens, majestic waterfalls and cherry blossoms, this outing was a real breath of fresh air and culture for our French as a Foreign Language classes.

A masterpiece by André Le Nôtre

The Parc de Sceaux is not just a simple green space. Designed by Louis XIV's famous gardener, André Le Nôtre, it represents the perfection of "French-style" gardens.

For our students, it's an open-air lesson in aesthetics and history:

• The Grand Canal: An immense mirror of water that gives an infinite perspective to the estate.

• The Great Waterfalls: An architectural spectacle where water dances between sculptures.

• The Château: A testament to 19th-century elegance, it now houses the Domaine de Sceaux museum.

The Magical Moment: Hanami (Cherry Blossoms)

It's the star of April! The Parc de Sceaux is home to one of the largest concentrations of Japanese cherry trees in Île-de-France.

The EDAM Experience: Learning at Nature's Rhythm

Why take our students to Sceaux? Because the French language is also learned through the senses.

• Seasonal vocabulary: Our teachers took advantage of the walk to teach nature vocabulary ( budding, flowering, perspective, bridleway ).

• The Linguistic Picnic: There's nothing like sharing French specialties (baguette, cheese, pastries) under the pink cherry trees to loosen tongues and strengthen bonds of friendship between students from all over the world.

• Photography and Expression: We organised a small photo contest! Each student had to caption their photo with a poetic phrase in French.
