What's Hot

That's Sandra from Bourges (formerly exchange student in Tasmania), Vanessa of Launceston and me.

Champagnole is a town of 9000 people located in the beautiful Jura mountains at an altitude of 540m in France, 90km north of Geneva. I lived there for all of the year 2000, and I loved it. I was on a Rotary Youth Exchange and was hosted by the Rotary Club of Champagnole, and I stayed with four families of the area for approximately three months each.

I went to school at Champagnole's big school Lycee Paul-Emile Victor, where there are 900 students from Grade 10 to 12.

Other towns/villages I frequented during my time there were Arbois, Vannoz, Chapois, Foncine-Le-Haut, Lons-Le-Saunier and Besancon.

If you are an exchange student going to the Alsace/Franche-Comte Rotary district, then you're welcome to contact me for any info.
