Fleurdemer

Fleurdemer is a place in the Demense, and it's where Celia's grade goes for the traditional fifth year trip. Maddie had voted for it becauses there is a great bakery on Oleander Street that sells delicious pastries, including pralines.

"Celia could tell that Fleurdemer was near the coast, with a river running through the middle and out to a bay. It had an old-south feel to it, with grand old buildings and cobblestone streets, plus the laid-back atmosphere of a town where no one was ever in a hurry. Their hotel, the Lys-de-valles, stood out from the surrounding buildings because it rose three stories into the air, while everything else nearby was only two stories tall."

During their fifth year trip, Celia gets to meet the mayor and he tours their grade through the city in carriages, finally arriving at Gooty Hall, which holds the city offices and the mayor's residence.
