We introduced ourselves to Henri down at the café. He speaks as much English as we do French but we managed to have a few laughs after deux bieres and un pastis. There was a small group of men already drinking there and one of them spoke a bit of English so between us we managed to have a bit of a conversation. I still find it frustrating because I can think of things I’d like to say but can’t find the words. I want to be able to talk to people. It’s so isolating not being able to say what you want to say.
Henri and his merry men told us that there is about 20 pupils at the school which I think will be nice for Samuel and Ella. A small school with a lot of individual attention.
The café isn’t exactly a café, it’s more of a bar and also Henri has internet which is available to use if you buy a few drinks. Henri has an impressive collection of 750 cameras on display in the bar which he has collected over the years.
