USE YOUR IMAGINATION, TRANSPORT YOURSELF TO THE CITY OF LIGHTS!
1. Have fun during this virtual visit. Choose an hotel (http://www.paris.org/Hotels/), or if you prefer rent an apartment (htt://locaflat.com) for your stay in Paris. What will it be, where will you stay? BON VOYAGE!
2. You had a good night sleep , now you are eager to see and tour the city today. N'OUBLIEZ PAS L'APPAREIL PHOTO and UN PLAN DE PARIS!
Go to (http://www.paris.org/parisF.html) to the page France (http://wwwpagefrance.com/accueil.htm) or to Yahoo France(http://www.yahoo.fr) and explore museums, exhibits, or do some shopping.
Check the location where you find yourself at this point on the subway map that you should have printed after downloading it from the net.
Give the name of at least six landmarks you visited. You may want to write a short description of your favorite place(in French, please!)
Now, before leaving the Paris pages, choose a café. Which one did you choose? Where is it?3. You are now sitting at a terrasse and decide to read a daily newspaper you bought at a kiosque. Page France(http://www.page france.com/accueil.htm) has lots of French newspapers and magazines. Select at least two and write a short report of these articles you selected. (en français, s'il vous plaît!)
3. It's already 8:00 P.M., you are famish and wish to eat supper in a nice French restaurant(forget about the price, you're worth it). Enjoy!
(http://www.netsurf.org/CyberRout/cgi-bin/CR-Find.cgi/FR) or if you prefer (http://www.cuistonet.fr/accueil/cartefrance.htm). Which restaurant did you choose? Where is it located?4. After a scrumpidelicious meal, you are tired. You wish to relax and turnon the T.V.. Go to the webbsite la chaîne France 2 (http://www.france2.fr/indexfrm.htm), and choose programs you are going to watch tonight. Names them? At what time are you going to watch them?
5. Do you prefer to go to the movies? Go to the site of Première magazine (http://www.premiere.fr/.). Test your knowledge about French Cinéma and moviemaking. Take the "cinéquiz." Did you pass?
6. Before going to bed, you want to listen to some French music. Go to Fan and choose anything you like (http://www.imaginet.fr/fan/musicbase/index.html), or go to (http://www3.sympatico.ca/roll/demos.html). How does it sound? What do you think of it? Which songs do you like best?
Now sleep tight, sweet dreams and have a great second day in Paris tomorrow!
BONNE CHANCE ET AU REVOIR!
