Bonjour!
Joyeux Jour de la Bastille (Happy Bastille Day)!! Yesterday was Bastille day in France, which is like their Independence day, celebrating the day that they overthrew the French monarchy by storming the Bastille in Paris. In past years SCAD has celebrated Bastille day in various excellent forms, but this year we had the honor of hosting SCAD's President, Paula Wallace, on this festive occasion. The evening started with a student concert held in the Maison Forte,the oldest building in Lacoste, dating back to the 9th century. There were many excellent performances of the evening, including a number from Disney's Beauty and the Beast, a film set in a small Provencal town in France, much like our own Lacoste. After the concert there was a mocktail hour on the terrace, so that the students could mingle with President Wallace. I didn't really talk to her, but I did photobomb many of the photos taken of her last night. All together it was a very chill Bastille Day. Four days till Paris!
Au Revoir
