1. Welcome!
Bienvenu
eWe come from the South of France from a Region called PACA in the department of The
Var between two large towns Marseilles the second largest town in France and Toulon
the big military harbour.
2. Our village…from the Old
Beausset
Seen from the hill le Beausset which means village at the top of the hill appears like a
delightful little provençal village among the olive trees, the cypresses and the vineyards.
The population is about 9,300 inhabitants.
3. The village of Le Beausset
Here are some views of the center of the village with the townhall where you can read
the French Motto: Freedom – Equality – Brotherhood..
4. La Provence wouldn’t be La Provence without the songs of the cicadas in the olive trees
and the pine trees that invite you to have a good nap in the afternoon…
6. Here are some appetizers: Tapenade, Anchoïade, salted olives…
7. Cheers Dears!
We are right in the Region of the famous Bandol vineyards so reputed for
their rose, red and white wines…
8. Jean Giono Comprehensive school
The name of our school is Jean Giono after the famous provencal novelist Jean Giono.
It’s a mixed comprehensive. There are 660 pupils and over 40 teachers.
16. Exhibitions and open evenings
We are keen on opening the school to the parents and we regularly organize open
evenings. It’s a good opportunity to show to the parents their children’s productions and
commitments in the various projects of the school.
17. Lessons start at 8:30 AM and finish at 12:30 PM. They go to the cafeteria and help
themselves with a 3 main course meal and then they eat in the school-canteen with their
classmates.
19. Some lovely Mediterranean creeks
When the week-end comes we are so lucky to be able to dive into the turquoise water of
the creeks of Cassis. It’s a real paradise!
