The students had a half day trip to Iepers Wednesday, which I did last year and didn\u2019t feel the need to do again, so I used the day to go to Provins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think it\u2019s time to get to the pictures though!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
