Euro-Bike & Walking
Tours has been in business for over 30 years offering bike and walking
tours in both popular destinations, such as Provence and Tuscany, as
well as many out-of-the-way places, such as Switzerland, Denmark,
Germany, Belgium, and Eastern Europe. Places where you'll find Europeans

www.durobike.com. Champs-Elysees offers monthly French audio magazines for the intermediate to advanced speaker designed to take their speaking and listening comprehension to the next level. Every issue takes the form of an hour long radio broadcast featuring interviews with French celebrities as well as up to date news from the worlds of art, business, literature, politics etc. Previous guests on the programs include Brigitte Bardot, Francois Mitterand, Juliette Binoche and Jacques Chirac. Each magazine comes with a complete transcript and a comprehensive glossary together with optional linguistic exercises. The magazine is available on both CD and cassette. I have found that being able to speak at least some of the language really helps you enjoy your visit to a foreign country more. Check Champs-Elysees and see how you can become more familiar with the French language and people. Jim. |
