Homing Pigeons from Nantes

During our stay in Sweden we were kindly hosted by Anne and Matthieu who were sub-renting a studio to students in Lund for 3 months during the period of their internship. They were even kind enough to lend their bed to us and slept on the sofa and the sofa cushions at night.

Since we were there during their last week of internship they were working hard to finish and submit their report.

They were leaving us each day to go work at the University.

We became quite busy while they were away. 1/ We tested the Ikea local feel.

2/ We discovered local food.

3/ We sat on the couch watching interesting programmes to know more about Sweedish and worldwide culture

OK, we sometimes ventured outside the house to have a walk in the small city. The city has one of the largest university in Sweden with around 46,000 students. This is the second oldest university after that of Uppsala. Buildings from the university occupy a large share of the city.

We went to the botanical garden. It seems that teenagers were playing a Finnish game called Molkky where players must knock over wooden pins. The game was girls vs boys, and it seems that girls were winning

We encountered lots of stationary shops, which is not that surprising in a city with so many students!

Lund used to have as many as 27 churches. Today this is not the case anymore. However among those left we found some beautiful.

Some buildings of the different faculties.

A restaurant where they serve traditional food.

The Lund cathedral

And its famous astronomical clock made in the fifteenth century and restored in the twentiest century.
