Suivez les aventures américaines de la classe euro / Sciences sociales du lycée Lesage de Vannes

Welcome to Vannes. Welcome to Brittany. Welcome to France !

We are students in a French High School called Lycée Lesage. It is located in southern Brittany (western France).

We learn Social Studies in English in a Content Language Integrated Learning approach.

We love to discover English speaking countries and their cultures, as much as we like our own language (huh, we should say "our own languageS", because of course we speak French...But here another language is spoken : the Breton language (which is a celtic wording, closed to the welsh or Irish ones).

Our High School organizes language exchanges with the Strath Haven high Shcool in the United States of America. We also work with European High Schools through E-Twinning and Erasmus+ projects.
