Come to explore Strasbourg, the children took a trip on a river boat. They told us enthusiastically, "We had earphones on. You could choose the language – there was even a version for children!"

     On the schedule the next day: learning how to make a kougelhopf. The apprentice pastry makers found themselves at the stoves in mob-caps and aprons. Thanks to the know-how of Alex, the cook at Ciarus, and the enthusiasm of Anne, his activities colleague, they managed to fill their moulds.

     Happy with the results, they then tried a few Alsatian specialities: "I love gendarmes (a kind of sausage)," enthused Frédéric, whilst Anaïs found knacks (another kind of sausage) "really good" – even though she wasn't used to the taste of Alsatian mustard: "It burns your throat a little bit," she said, "But it's better than black pudding!". Like the black pudding, the Munster divided opinion: some could have eaten more but other pinched their nose: "It stinks!" The Bretzels finally received everyone's approval: "So good".

     For their last evening, the youngsters were unanimous and announced in their finery: "We're off to the party!"
