On Thursday, June 4th, classes 408 and 409—accompanied by Ms. Niot (French teacher), Ms. Renaudin (French teacher), Ms. Fernández Canet (Spanish History and Geography teacher), Ms. Kettenbach (English teacher), and Mr. Dubrocard (school life staff)—took part in a guided tour of 19th-century Madrid. This initiative was part of a joint project between the French and Spanish History-Geography departments.
Coordinated by Ms. Niot, Ms. Renaudin, and Ms. Fernández Canet, this interdisciplinary project was divided into two phases. First, throughout the second semester, students worked in groups to create a written guidebook about the most iconic locations in 19th-century Madrid, a historical period studied in both subjects this school year.
Second, the project culminated in an educational field trip on June 4th, during which the students stepped into the shoes of real tour guides. They led a tour to explain the 12 key stops they had researched for the guidebook (including the Museum of Romanticism, Plaza del Dos de Mayo, Príncipe Pío Hill, San Antonio de la Florida, and the National Library), all of which are essential for discovering 19th-century Madrid.
