Montpellier - Junior Year in France 







Page in progress... here are some images to tide you over while waiting for their accompanying text.

Carré St Anne We lived on rue Eugène Lisbonne, next to the Carré St Anne and the Place du Petit Scel, in which there was a very nice Irish pub named O'Carolan's and St Anne's church. And a fountain shaped like a mushroom.
Did you know that many cities in France have Arcs de Triomphe, not just Paris?

This is Montpellier's. It was about a five minute walk from our apartment.

My roommate, Lara, got a tambourine for her birthday so that she could sing "Harry Got a Hey" along with our Swedish neighbors and Ken up on the roof. Lara and her tambourine
Pin the Rat Tail on Tay Hanson We played "Pin the Rat Tail on Tay Hanson" as part of the evening's festivities.

The Basket The Basket was a great source of communication and entertainment. It hung from a string connected to our shutters down to our downstairs neighbors' (Kerry & Brienne) window. If we wanted their attention, we swung the basket against their window, and to get our attention they held the basket and swung our shutter closed. Many a dinner invitation passed that way, and quite a few more silly notes. The bottle of Bailey's came up or down more than once. And once we tried to send a spatula down, but the balance was wrong so it fell into the street and almost hit a passerby on the head! (At which we promptly ducked our heads back inside, leaving the passerby to wonder why it was raining spatulas!)
Jean-Luc was one of the many sometime inhabitants of the basket. Jean-Luc,
