Certainly there are e-mails, msn messenger and facebook, but to really cultivate friendship, nothing is better than passing the time together. This group all met each other in the summer of 2007.

Sébastien, French, was working in the foyer-bar. Tony, Italian/Swiss, Pablo, Spanish, Farzad the Iranian and Casey the American were already Collège regulars, as Tony had passed the summer of 2006 at the Collège as a student and summer 2007 as a boursier, Farzad in his third summer at the Collège, Pablo on his second, and Casey over two tears total with all of her accumulated months. And for Dylan, another American, he started working at the Collège last summer as a boursier alongside Sebastien and Tony in the Foyer-bar, and is still currently working there. From countries and universes completely different… how did they come together thusly? That is wherein lies the incredible mystery of friendship and the making of friends. The Collège sees this sort of international friendship-forging all the time.  Many such relationships have been formed here throughout the years.  This is not due to the sushi diners at Baöli as some may think seeing the festive evenings at the classy joint located at the Port Canto in Cannes.  It’s at the Collège that they meet, and it is evenings at Baöli and the like that confirms these friendships. Throughout the year they saw one another in different parts of the world, such as Las Vegas and Barcelona, when such mobility was possible for some of them.

But the real rendez-vous was at the Collège, where the six could all be together at the place where they first met.
