One of the highlights of the weekend was the time spent by the lake. The girls eagerly took advantage of the sunny skies to dive into the refreshing waters. It was a perfect way to cool off and have fun, creating lasting memories with friends.

Additionally, the girls embarked on a breathtaking trip to Porto. This vibrant city welcomed them with its rich history and culture. The girls were able to discover the charming architecture, delicious cuisine, and the warm hospitality of the locals. From exploring historic sites to enjoying scenic views, Porto offered a variety of experiences that helped our students learn more about different cultures and appreciate them even more.

Overall, this weekend was a fantastic blend of adventure, learning, and relaxation. It was a reminder of the joy that comes from exploring new places and embracing new experiences. We look forward to many more such enriching weekends in the future!

We are so happy to have you with us and to celebrate your birthday with you. Wow, you’re 18 now, Sarah! We are so proud of you. You are an amazing person, and our house wouldn’t be the same without you. You’ve made yourself loved by everyone, and the day you leave will be a sad one for our house. You are a central part of our family. Merciiiiii for everything you’ve brought to us this year. We wish you the happiest year ahead; you deserve all the best in the world 💕

Dear all,

This long weekend – or “le pont” (🌉) as French speakers would say – the girls enjoyed some exciting activities and made the most of the lovely weather. Some of these included chess, volleyball, wakeboarding, a trip to Annecy (known as the “Venice of the Alps”), and a visit to the actual Venice (keep an eye out for an upcoming post about this lovely adventure, a favorite destination for some so far!).

During the weekend, we also took some time to watch the Eurovision contest (with Switzerland as the winner, making the day for our Swiss girls!) and did some stargazing on the terrace Saturday night. Unfortunately, our hopes of seeing the northern lights were not fulfilled, but we enjoyed the time trying to spot them with nice music.

Finally, on Sunday, Miss Alison baked some super tasty and amazing banana bread, brownies, along with watermelon for the health-conscious ones! (Yummmy!)

Keep an eye out for the post on Venice, and we wish you all an amazing week ahead!

Best wishes,

Villa du Lac Team 😊
