A Candy Factory, Ancient Aquaducts, Real Madrid & More– BSB Students Explore France and Spain

BSB students on exchange trips to Arles, France and Madrid, Spain aren’t showing any signs of slowing down as they explore the cities they’re calling home this week.

On Thursday, students in Arles, France visited the Haribo Factory and Museum, learning about the process of making the company’s famous gummy bears and other candy, and tasting some unique flavors. It looks like they had a great time!

Students also got a taste of the historic areas of Arles and the surrounding towns, visiting an ancient aqueduct, which once supplied the water for the area, and walking through some classic provencal alleyways.

On the Madrid exchange trip, students spent a few days exploring the city, after reuniting with the students who visited BSB earlier this spring.

Students studied the city’s Metro system to help get to the various stops along their journey, and got some traditional Spanish foods along the way, from gazpacho and bocadillos de tortilla to delicious pastries!

Ms. Rosales even gave a lesson from the middle of the Plaza Mayor!

But perhaps the most exciting part of their day was a visit to the Bernebeau, the stadium of the Real Madrid futbol team! Students explored the stadium itself, sat in the press conference room and made sure to stock up on Real Madrid gear!

It looks like our students across the world are having some amazing cultural experiences! We can’t wait to hear about their adventures!
