Bonjour !
I travelled safely and now i'm at Arras, north of France. You can notice there was many friends to welcome me : some stay at home toys and many tvs : Stasiek, Meleleuca, Jeniqua, Nanu, tagalongrocket and Pebbels.
I first visited the library, built in a former abbey.

later the same day, we went to the seaside, at Berck sur mer. I enjoyed the little cabins on the beach, aren't they so cute. I've seen the resort by night ...

I spent a day at St Omer, the city near Wardrecques. I've seen the station, sat with my friends, seen the city hall, walked in a street and i loved the ruins of the former abbey of St Bertin.

And now, let's talk about a great experience : my travel around England! I first travelled with the eurostar, then i was in a train to Cambridge. This is a nice city with lot of colleges. We stayed in a hostel, it was ok.
