For the first study trip, our class went to Normandy. I originally thought Normandy was a city, but no, it is a region. This is confusing in France. For example, there is the Bordeaux region, but the only city in Bordeaux IS Bordeaux. In the Normandy region, there is no city called Normandy. We visited Le Havre, Bayeaux, and Caen in the Normandy region. The first one we went to was Le Havre. Currently Le Havre is a very industrial city, but it hasn't always been. In fact, it was the site of a major battle in World War II and was bombed over 130 times during World War II. But, the only advantage to being bombed over 130 times, is that the entire city gets to be built from scratch. Architects were brough in and Le
Havre is now also a famous architectural site. There were some famous people who lived in Le Havre, such as Sartre, but the town is not that big and right on the beach. It's very nice. There wasn't a lot to see, per se, but there is a lot of history in the town.
