A message from the 1e LB
by Charlotte and Olivia
Welcome to our high school, Jeanne d’Arc!
Here everybody is waiting for you! We look forward to showing you our city, Rouen, and our high school.
First, we’ll tell you about our class. We are thrty-two, more precisely twenty-nine girls and three boys. We study a subject called “history of arts’ which deals with every form of art: painting, photography, music, cinema, drawing,… Other people study Italian instead. Our class is cool, relaxed and joyful. To sum up, it’s a very smashing class!
Our high school is situated in a city called Rouen. It is called “Jeanne d’Arc” because this is the place where Jeanne d’Arc was killed. This high school is an old one but there have been building works for many years and now it’s really beautiful and modern. There are 1800 students so it’s huge! A very good atmosphere prevails: there are many different people and Jeanne d’Arc is viewed by everybody as an “artistic high school” where a lot of people practise drawing, photography or painting. See you soon!

A message from the 1e LC
Welcome to Rouen!
We’re 34 in our class, including 3 boys…So we aren’t quite as short in mixity as you are. :-)
Our school is specific by the large choice of options it provides, especially artistic ones. In our literary section, half of us study art and drawing and the other half learns Chinese. Apart from these major options, we also have the normal choices such as English of course, German, Spanish, Latin, Italian, drama…
We are quite a “merry” class and generally, we all get on well together. We enjoy parties, going out to cafés for example…
Rouen is a very active town in the middle of the countryside: cows everywhere and rain, the typical points in Normandy. We hope you’ll enjoy our cider and typical cheese as well. :-)
The sea is 50 km away, at Dieppe. At this time of year it’s extremely windy on the coast. But the beach, sadly, isn’t like the south ones, it’s only pebbles. The only nice things are the chalk cliffs.
There are sales at the moment so bring loads of money!
Our school’s name is Jeanne d’Arc who is the heroin of a French history fact: in the Middle Ages, guided by the voice of God, a young peasant girl cut her hair off and took the control of the French army to push the British out of France. She succeeded in freeing Orleans but not Paris. She was captured and burnt alive in Rouen… Or so did history tell, till recently: Jeanne d’Arc was actually a spy, and it was a hooded man who was burnt on “La Place du Vieux Marché”.
(We don’t really care about these facts but it’s for your general knowledge.) :-)
There is a “Jeanne d’Arc business” by the way: near the place where she was “supposedly” burnt, they sell “macarons de Jeanne d’Arc”, “larmes de Jeanne d’Arc”…
In our class you’ll notice Baptiste’s legendary sense of humour, Channel’s passion for Japan, Flore the aristocrat, Jessica “l’anglaise”, Mélissa who is “toujours en retard” and always smiling and Adrienne who is always dreaming…. You’ll discover the others by yourselves.
You’ll notice a very big clothing mixity in our school, because people often come from very different places and they study a large variety of subjects: some are artistic, some are more interested in new technologies. You’ll see many styles such as “fashion victims”, “tecktonik”, “manga dolls”, “babas cool”, “skaters”, the “Dolce Gabbana kind”, the “Longchamp addicts”, “rainbow clothed people”, the “baggy boys”… You get the picture: an enormous melting pot.

A message from the 1e SA
Hey!
What’s up? We are going to introduce ourselves… We are a scientific class of thirty students but only ten of us are coming to the Netherlands. Sorry girls, there are only eight boys in the class! But don’t worry, we are all welcoming and kind (or not...). And unlike you, we have only eight hours of class per day!
Our class is one of the exceptions of the school since it is mainly a literary and artistic school: indeed there are drama, dance, music, history of arts and arts classes.
Don’t be shocked when you come, the style of clothing is very…strange, we have a lot of Babas-cool… :-)
Now: Rouen! It is known as the city of the hundred bell-towers, it has an old city centre but there are a lot of students. We’re planning to show you around…and, only if you are nice, we’ll show you Rouen by night!
We hope to see you soon…
Bye bye!
Your correspondents :-)
