On Wednesday 10th May 2017, the year 7 classes accompanied by Mrs Radcliffe, Mrs Stamatopoulo, Mr Foz and Mrs Andre- Bewig had the opportunity to enjoy a sun-blessed day in Nancy in the Lorraine region.

The “Musée des Beaux-Arts”, a beautiful 18^th century building located on the “Place Stanislas”, disclosed all its treasures to us, explaining through the artefacts the meaning of art and beauty, from the Renaissance to the 20^th century (Perugino, Delacroix, Monet, Rodin, Friant, Gruber and Picasso to name a few). Our last stop in the museum was the magical world of crystal and glass in the Daum collection. Baccarat and Daum are both local representatives of this art form.

After a picnic in the blooming “Parc de la Pépinière” and an ice-cream for some, we were able to visit the historical centre. A walk through the cobbled streets of the old town where we admired the architecture and the sculptures of the buildings (the gargoyles of the “Musée Lorrain” greeted us with their funny looks!) brought a very successful and happy end to the day. We all left with the promise to return soon!

Un grand merci à tous les professeurs  pour avoir fait en sorte que cette excursion soit possible!
