I've got a home in Fonty!
I found a place to live for P3 & P4 in Fontainebleau! I know, I will also be in Fonty in P5, but I guess I'll be able to find a place when I'm there. Otherwise I can always live under a bridge or in a scorched car in Paris...
The place of choice is Chateau Montmelian. This is a very beautiful chateau (see pictures) and also well known for it's massive parties (see http://www.montmelian.org/ to see what I mean. make sure you don't skip the introduction and turn on your sound). From what I've heard this is one of the best places to stay. It is not in Fonty though, but about 15 minutes by car away (which is not that bad; there are quite a few chateaus even further away from Fonty). I'm really looking forward to it. The difference in temperature I'll just have to ignore.
On a different note: group work is not always easy. 6 people in a group that all think they are always right sometimes poses some problems. We had a nice feedback session yesterday. We brought out the baseball bats and other weapons and started pounding on each other for 2 hours long. At some point the general consensus was to stop the session and continue today so we all had some time to cool down. Today it only took 15 minutes. After that we played some games of table soccer in the cafeteria and had a beer together. We are all happy campers again now :) As a matter of fact, we are actually doing quite well as a group; there are a lot of groups out there that work way worse together.

Too bad we will miss each other one more period. I am in Singapore for P3 when you freeze yourself in montmelian.
Any tips on finding myself an apartment just for a period in Sing and pour?

Happened to find this while looking for housing (for a friend entering INSEAD Jan. '07).
Montmelian seems hard to turn down; but do you have other suggestions. She will be in Fonty Thur-Mon looking...
Cheers!
