The post card above is a photograph of my street circa 1900. This post card is going to my grandmother in Québec City as today is her birthday. Bonne fête grand-maman!
To bring everyone up to speed, I left Paris for St-É last Monday. Thus I was already in St-É when I embarked on the electrical tape odyssey. I have been settling in nicely since moving into my flat October 1. In the interim, I stayed in a residence-hotel the first night and a hostel the next three. I began working at the lycée on Monday.
The weather has been very changeable. It was overcast when I arrived and it has been cloudy with some rain showers most of the days since I’ve arrived in France. The temperature has varied from about 10°C to 26°C last Sunday--we are experiencing an Indian Summer!
I haven’t been very diligent in taking photos of the town, but I promise they are coming soon!
A few facts about St-É:
- The city is named after Saint Stephen (Étienne in French) and the residents are called stéphanois
- The city was renamed Armeville during the French Revolution as one of the city’s industries was arms manufacturing
