It is now slowly progressing through the countryside and urban centers unveiling its warm colors.<\/p>\n<p>For students less interested in the colors of the season it means \u201cSummer is over, back to school!\u201d\u00a0 The sight of boys and girls, lugging their backpacks, walking through the fallen leaves to the central school building: who can\u2019t remember the sound of the yellow and orange dried leaves cracking under the school shoes?<br \/>\nLovely days tanned with melancholy and nostalgia for the summer past and a contact with a new face of nature with its colors and shapes making a lovely transition to the harsh realities of winter. Nowadays, most of our children live in towns and villages and reach school by bus and private cars speeding along black grey roads lined with firelights and lamps and can\u2019t recognize a chestnut from a sycamore tree.<br \/>\nIf you feel you can and want to do something nostalgic and \u201c green\u201d, why not starting\u00a0 by treating your family to a \u201cfoliage week end\u201d in unique
