The summer of 2016, I had the privilege of studying abroad in France with OU's college of Arts & Sciences Leadership Scholars organization. We spent two weeks in France, and the main part of trip was spent in Clermont-Ferrand, France - OU's sister city. Oh boy, as you can probably tell from the image, Clermont is a beautiful town with a huge cathedral right in the middle. It is a gothic style cathedral, which explains it being black and the spires. Everyone in Clermont was so welcoming and kind to all of us, even though no one on the trip spoke French. It is a small town with so much personality. I one-hundred percent, no doubts about it, plan on returning to Clermont one day. Our group had our favorite coffee shop, Le Carnot, we would go every morning to get our coffee and wifi for the day. If anyone ever has the chance to visit France, Clermont should definitely be on one of the places to visit!
What a lovely picture, Chelsee! You are the first person to have a Clermont post, but someone did an Arezzo post who was there last semester. The dramatic skyline of the cathedral is really beautiful. Maybe for this class you will want to explore some of the famous temples of India; like the European cathedrals, they have some very distinctive, very dramatic architecture!
