J’ai choisi vue sur la piscine et c’était une grosse erreur. Malgré que l’école n’était pas fini encore, il y avait beaucoup beaucoup de monde et c’était très très bruyant et ça aurait été désagréable aller se baigner. Même dans les couloirs beaucoup d’enfants courraient. Sûrement plus tranquille dans une autre aile. Mais oubliez une baignade tranquille
