Provins

The students had a half day trip to Iepers Wednesday, which I did last year and didn’t feel the need to do again, so I used the day to go to Provins.

Provins is a medieval town about 90 minutes outside of Paris. We mostly just spent the day wandering, but the last thing we did was a tour of some of the tunnels that go under the town.

I think it’s time to get to the pictures though!

The original town wall still exists
And you can walk along the top of it
12th century!!!! 😮
Tour César
Saint-Quiriace church
Inside of the church
Plaque commemorating Jeanne d’Arc (Joan of Ark) coming here for mass in 1429 after King Charles VII’s coronation
Underground!
An ‘ad’ carved into the cave wall
A marking made by a pharmacist (can I just add I had to lookup the translation of pharmacien into English because I couldn’t remember the word in English 🤦🏽‍♀️)
These caves were used for wine storage at one point and so this would have been a marking on the ceiling indicating the owner of this section
And this would have been the inventory of how many bottles they had in a given year

Another fun day of exploration!!!

This weekend I’ll be in Strasbourg and Paris with my students, so more coming soon!
