Hello everyone, my name is Vanhessa Xayaphet and I am a SEE Scholar studying abroad in France this semester!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So I am staying in Angers, France (pronounced On-shz-ay) it\u2019s in western France in the Pays de la Loire Valley. I attend l\u2019Universit\u00e9 Catholique de l\u2019Ouest, participating in a international student program called CIDEF. I just take French learning courses, in French at CIDEF. But in the city of Angers, there\u2019s a beautiful cathedral and a castle called Ch\u00e2teau d\u2019Angers, a defensive castle located right next to la Meine river, which was a perfect location for the castle because they could use the river as a defense mechanism. I live in a host family and take the tram to classes every morning. That’s all for now!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
