After teaching in the morning at École Jules Ferry, I went across the street to Collège Jules Ferry. An English teacher from the collège contacted me and organized a little rendez-vous with her and the two other English teachers at the school. I brought a lunch and we sat in the staff room and talked for over two hours... predominately in French, though there was a mixture with English.

The building that now houses Collège Jules Ferry has had two prior uses. Originally, it was a monastery; then later was turned into a high school before becoming a middle school. These previous existences are still evident today. Plaques outside the building read LYCÉE and the inner courtyard and architecture of the building reflects the characteristics of a monastery.
collège = middle school
lycée = high school
