PARENTS EVENING

Last night we attended Samuel's school to see where he sat, what he learned etc etc.  So three teachers (including the principal) three classes, 70 kids.   And that's the school.  Very nice, organised and strict.  This is Sammy's class.

Saint Nicolas-de-Veroce

So off we went by car to explore today and landed up at Saint Nicolas-de-Veroce, the entire village was at the Mayors house celebrating their 100 year old resident, and then it was off to the restaurant - Village life in the mountains.  Situated right under Mount Blanc, just beautiful and I loved that the Post Office doubled as the Pattiserie, the Pizzeria and the Ski Shop in winter.
