French countryside Day 6… off to Anduze!<\/h3>\n

That morning we took off to explore the town Anduze via an antique steam train, operated by Train \u00e0 vapeur des C\u00e9vennes<\/a>. The population in Anduze is about 3300… for a big city girl like me, that was pretty small, but after being in Lasalle (population 1063), it seemed like a more bustling place already!<\/p>\n

We started our journey from Saint-Jean-du-Gard’s train station, and passed by lots of beautiful creeks, mountains and villages before arriving in Anduze. The 40-minute ride was slow but smooth, and we seemed to have been transported through time with the loud engine puffing through the countryside, the air mixed with smoke.<\/p>\n

In Anduze we explored the town on foot, checked out two open markets, got some souvenirs at a nougaterie, had lunch with other counsellors (and I tried tartare for the first time ever!), before our cooking class at a local restaurant, Le Meli Melo. Here are some highlights of the day…<\/p>\n
