French Exchange: second leg

It's almost time for the second leg of our Exchange. We look forward to seeing you all at the airport on Wednesday morning (by 8:45 at the latest). Don't forget your passport!

The weather forecast looks really good, but please remember the dress code when you're packing, and don't forget that you'll still need a jumper, as it's always cold first thing in the morning. Sun cream is also a must, as are sensible shoes (no flip-flops, please).
