Getting to know Noumea

Change of scenery for a French class - La recre

Le cocotier

Our first day in Noumea started at CREIPAC French language school where the girls met their teachers Anne and Jean-Pierre. The girls were subdued and a little tired from the previous day, but livened up later when we went on our grand tour of Noumea and suburbs via Tchou Tchou Train. The day finished off with their meetings with the Host families.

Marjorie, the Homestay coordinator at CREIPAC, was there to help with introductions.

This afternoon we will go on a tchou tchou tour around the town before they meet their host families for the weekend.
We will also put up some photos from yesterday.
