Travel Blogs from Pau, France
The Pyrenees
This is a top pick! We left the gorgeous Atlantic coast and headed an hour and a half east to the base of the Pyrenees. The old town centre sits up on a hill and the panoramic views of the Pyrenees is a pretty decent backdrop. When we rolled into town and found our ...
Pau
This is a top pick! After arriving in France through the tunnel, we spent the night in the quite beautiful city of Pau, with a magnificent snow-peaked mountain backdrop. Our wild campspot was the middle of a busy car park but it wasn't too noisy and we managed to sleep, only ...
No Time for Travel Blog
... if I had the time. Yesterday, I was just about finished writing an entry complaining about how awful the computers are in Pau when my server suddenly crashed. Tomorrow I leave to spend five days in Rome. I'm quite literally going just for the ...
un homme deux fois étranger
... real chore. Et donc adieu, Camembert, quoth the raven... I've been playing a decent amount of "French Football" here in Pau. First there is the university-organized club every Tuesday night from eight to ten. Through that, I met those terrific ...
Une tete pleine de choses
I hit a car the other day on my bike. The car didn't hit me. Rather, I simply T-boned it at an agreeable enough angle that I didn't go flying onto the hood. Cursed round-abouts. The driver sped off/continued on, either out of fear or habit. As I ...
Le retour de l'Espagne
... Spain for Friday and Saturday. We spent the first night in San Sabastian, a beautiful city roughly twice the size of Pau right along the northern coast of the country. All of the students who are currently taking the comparitive modern literature ...
The Three Week Theory
... for the three weeks, because I got something out of them. All this rambling is simply to say that my three weeks have passed in Pau. Ca veut dire, after the excitement of the first three weeks wore off, it kind of hit me that I was stuck living in ...
La reconnaissance de plusieurs langues
... show last night. It was comforting to see that every underground/indie music stereotype in America is equally present in France. Voilà le programme: 1. Some old dude who was apparently English playing roughly three notes on a grand piano for about ...
Pas grandes choses
... the conversation to a more agreeable subject. Also to my advantage is my overly positive, rather bafoonish manner of conversation here in France. No one's going to make fun of the ghost of Christmas past if he's making an honest effort to learn ...
Boire comme Européan
... These chicks wanted to become French teachers or something, so quid pro quo, just like it always is with the night life in France. Except most members of the opposite sex don't usually have a mutual professor who arranges the date for you, mais quand ...
Toulouse
Went to Toulouse this weekend, a city rich in history and industry. Here in France they call it "La Ville Rose", so-named for the abnormal amount of bricks on the roads and the buildings. I went with a dude and some girls. They wanted to do some ...
Decembre's Delights
Salut tout le monde, Today 'la greve' has fully taken over the universite. I arrived for class this morning only to find all the other students and professors standing around outside chatting and discussing the new blockages, which have made it ...
School's Out
... . I've never eaten so much gelato over such a short period of time. The pizza was pretty great too, but I'd say that France and America can hold their own. Rather, it was the carbanara that destroyed me. Tour of the Vatican museum was interesting. ...
French Cows
... with it! ". A harmless colloquialism used to express frustration (much less crude than others that I've been privileged to learn while in France), which all the same assigns the cow to a whole new level of undesirabity on par with Hades the god of the ...
Ohhhh BARCELONE!!
Bonjour tout le monde!! It's Monday and I'm back in Pau now, in the computer lab after dragging myself to class this morning with having only slept for a few hours - after one of the most tremendous weekends of my life. Barcelona (Barcelone in French) ...
Pau, Pirenei atlantici
... da due settimane siamo ospiti della sorella di Laetitia, Monicà e sua figlia Swahely di 8 anni. Motivo della sosta qui a Pau è salutare la famiglia di Laetitia e procedere con i documenti necessari per il viaggio . Tra qualche giorno passeremo a ...
Une Langue Deux fois Latine
Last night I almost put Preparation H on my tooth brush. Don't ask ;) For those of you who know me better... don't ask either. Fun Fact: If a Frenchman were to read aloud what I just wrote, he would dictate the "..." by saying "etc etc etc". Ca ...
This is PAU
Okay... wow. There's absolutely a ridiculous amount to catch up on and I only have about minutes before class. I'm in Pau, France now, which is where I'll be living and going to the school for the next four months. The countryside we visited after ...
Grand Opening
... of a blog like this, but I can assure you that what I write on will only be the most inconsequential of my experiences in France. Cela dit, enjoy! Will ps. i probably won't update this for a few days. our group is taking a field trip to Spain ...
Je suis Palois...
... and also being brought into the more local social scene here. Despite the many activities and new people and beauty of France, I'm definately getting to that point of where, as Carrie Bradshaw would say, the lonliness is palpable. I miss everyone ...
Tour de France
... new development! I have been hired, last minute, for a job with Discovery Channel shooting something related to the Tour de France! So now I am sitting in the Grand Hôtel de France in Southern France, near the border of Spain. We flew ...
Disturbing Implications
After arriving in France, I've inevitably learned a lot of French. Every once in a while I'll run into a new word or expression that seems to open me up to a whole new world of communication. As in, from that point on, I can't imagine how I was able to ...
Lourdes
... have taken place, then they officially declare the whole package a "miracle." After I had already registered to study abroad in Pau, France, I was excited to discover that the town was located within thirty miles of, Lourdes, one of the big-time bona ...
Mais, Maman, tu sais bien que j'adore les anchois!
The title of this entry is a quote from Thadée, the eight-year-old boy in my host family. He's full of good lines. And songs. Soline calls him the grand chanteur of the family. On well more than one occasion has he broken out full-throttle in the ...
Didn't finish last entry
... about, like my dinner with the Chinese students, my interview with the Protestant pastor, and all the strikes going on here in France, but alas. Maybe I'll have time to write about that stuff next semester, but the journal kind of loses it's charm when ...
Pau-Hizzle: Life as we know it!!
... lovely day of greve (strike) in France. Aside from the nearly two week long strike of the students in university all over France, this is a different one comprised of all the public service workers. I agree with them though, Sarkozy has just augmented his ...
