Hello! Thanks for clicking on this link. We are students of the College Maria Casares in Lyon, France and we love to exchange news and ideas with students around the world in English and/or French. We are aged 11 to 15.
On this page you can find out what we’ve been doing in lessons and you can contact us to tell us about you and your school. We’ll get back to you in French or English (you can choose) and we can even organise a chat session or video conference with your class and your teacher.
Enjoy the site! We hope to hear from you soon.
