Les Vendages

The fall grape harvest is a grand tradition in France. It is a time of celebration and work. Many adults harbor happy memories of working aux vendanges to earn school money. As a part of my class on French regional agriculture, my students and I took part in les vendanges the other day. Here is a video of our day. It looks better and loads faster if you go to the Youtube page and watch it in high quality.

Awesome video, although I would've picked some Slaughter for the background music. I wish I could "un-hear" that French music. ;)

You are such a joker! Jean Jacques Goldman is a classic. And though Slaughter is too, it's not very French. Although Mark Slaughter's hair sort of resembles Louis XIV's!
