Lacoste - Saturday, June 28th

First full day in Lacoste. 


Started with Breakfast which was so yummy I ate it before I remembered to take a picture.
Just know Croissants and eggs and apple sauce Tres Bien!
I figured I'll just end up sharing a bunch of food pictures once a week or so and call it French Food Porn lol.



After Brunch we had a tour of the campus.
SCAD did a phenomenal job the use of these caves, forts, ovens, and mountains and hilltops are amazing! I'm learning and living around structures that go back thousands of years! That alone is breath taking.

After the tour we took a trip to the Market in Apt which is one of the largest and greatest markets in France. A  lot of time was spent in the art store where the professors advised everyone on things to buy for certain classes. Art is art everywhere, here its just pricey-er lol. Then we had lunch underneath the Roman Bridge Pont de Julian.






HISTORY!!!

According to WIKIPEDIA:

The Pont Julien (French for Julian Bridge) is a Roman stone arch bridge over the Calavon river in the south-east of France dating to 3 BC. The supporting columns are notable for openings to allow floodwater to pass through... It was used for car traffic until 2005, when a replacement bridge was built to preserve it from wear and tear.
