Discover our travel around the world
Okay, the last (but not least) post about Siem Reap… But how can we do without telling you about our stay with Laetitia, Jacques, and their sons Antoine and Tanguy? It is impossible!!! Laetitia is a teacher at the French School and…. She loves traveling!...
In Siem Reap, we were glad to discover the “hidden” French School: with only 75 pupils, it is a very small one. Again, it is so nice to be warmly welcome by teachers, headmaster and of course by the children!!! We first met Laetitia’s pupils (CE1 – CE2)...
