Leeds Castle

Leeds Castle is a very nice castle built by Robert de Crêvecoeur at the XI century. In 1280, Edward I transformed the castle and gave it to his wife Eleonor de Castilla.

In 1927, Lady Bailly restored the castle.

Now, we say this castle is the most beautiful in England

An amazing maze

The Maze

We visited the castle and its park in which there was a maze. It was very funny. Ath the end of the maze, there was a very nice grotto.

After we left by bus ...

Leeds Castle

I enjoyed myself there : first, we had our picnics, then we bought some sweets and we played football with five English men !

Around 4.00 pm, in the afternoon we went to Dover Castle. We watched a very interesting video about its history (and we Mrs Maret we drew the castle).

	The Cathedral of Canterbury The next day was the last day of the visits. We went to the city of Canterbury. We discovered a cathedral which dates back to the sixth century. The Cathedral of Canterbury was built nearly in 1070 (finished in 1504). Thomas Becket was killed there. The site of murder is showed by a slab.
The tomb of the Black Prince is in Trinity Chapel. I think that this site is very beautiful and interesting. Later, we went to listen and see the Canterbury Tales by Chaucer. It was funny ! Emmanuelle Jaillard, *4ème Frison Roche* La cathédrale de Canterbury (1) La cathédrale de Canterbury (2)

Tuesday the 27^th of April

We left at ten o'clock in the morning.

We said good bye to our English families. We drove to Dover and crossed the Channel with a shuttle.

We took the train at 4.00 pm in the afternoon. At about 7 we had sandwiches on the train. We got back in Avignon at 8.55 at night.

It was great to see our parents at the station but we would have liked to stay in England.
