Chemin-Bas: “Messrs. Perez and Mazel, unforgettable teachers”

Unforgettable trip to Paris.

Sonia Affortit is a former resident of Chemin-Bas d'Avignon who attended two primary schools: Georges-Bruguier and Jean-Moulin. She looks back on her schoolgirl memories.

" I was born in 1975. I am lucky to have had teachers very understanding and respectful of my difficulties, due to dyslexia. After my time at Jean-Moulin, they greatly encouraged my integration. I had very good memories with Mr. Perez, Mr. Mazel : I like to cite them, as a recognition, a thank you. "

Certain memories particularly marked her: " Visiting caves in the surrounding area and especially the witness mine of Alès, where Mr. Mazel explained the different rocks to us and made us aware of the hidden life of insects, avoiding the sun. Another memory : a trip to Paris. And, others more modest, but just as striking : the pain au chocolat that we sold during recess, provided by the neighborhood bakery. We also went on foot to the swimming pool near the route d’Uzès hospital, or to the Jean-Zay gymnasium. "

Et Sonia Encourages to continue exploring his memories: "In the mixed courtyard, the girls practiced doing cartwheels, or danced to Lio's song. I mostly played football with the boys, which didn't stop me from having excellent girlfriends. At the time, we participated in the activities of the Saint-Dominique church. All this atmosphere and this understanding were beneficial for me. "
