France Exchange Program

INTERNATIONAL WEEK & CULTURAL EXCHANGE WITH LYCÉE SAINT LOUIS, SAUMUR, FRANCE

As part of the cultural exchange program, a group of 14 students along with the French teacher Mr. Pankaj Khandelwal and the principal Mrs. Urvashi Warman from The Palace School, Jaipur visited Lycee Saint Louis, Saumur, France. Lycee Saint Louis invited the Indian delegation to attend the international week from 15th to 20th April 2018 in Saumur, where 72 students from 5 countries (Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, India and France) participated. Each member of the delegation was hosted by the French students and their families. This exchange was a sequel to the one week visit made by 14 French students, accompanied by 2 teachers from lycee Saint Louis to Jaipur in February 2017. The 11 day program included various workshops, visits, and games, degustation of French cuisine, Bollywood dance and music. While the Indian students became the ambassadors of their country to share all the richness of their traditions, the French went out of their way to make this stay a memorable one by organizing endless activities. They ensured that their Indian friends discovered their entire region by taking them to beautiful castles, theme park, wine caves and to the French National Riding School & the Cadre noir of Saumur which is considered one of the most prestigious horsemanship schools in the world. The delegation was welcomed by the school director Mr. Bougere. This exchange program culminated with an official partnership between The Palace School and Lycee Saint Louis, France. The two schools will now take this partnership forward with students and teachers’ exchange programs amongst other cultural & educational activities which will help to enrich and enlighten the lives of students from both the countries.
