Stay with me on Champagne!

Hi everyone,

It is already time to say goodbye. This semester was excellent, although I did feel a certain lack of motivation among some for the dream project.

I'm inviting you to stay in touch via my Champagne blog: http://champagneiuparles.blogspot.fr/

I'll keep posting things there for all students, and use the other blogs for course-specific instructions.
