Pardon my Français!

The ramblings of a Brit who travels to various bits of France a few times every year.

Welcome to France!

My first real experiences of being in France were my trips to Cannes for the various festivals there, and I soon realised that I loved the place.

It was not just Cannes or the Côte d’Azure though; I used to drive down rather than fly down and I started to get a feel for much of the country. From the flat north leading to Paris, then the slowly building mountains and forests as I drove south, finally leading to the diverse landscape of the south-east.

French Tuition

Going to France is of course an excellent thing to do, but it is even better if you can speak the language!

If you are looking for French language tuition, particularly at GCSE and A-Level standard but also conversational skills for adults, then get in touch with Nathalie

Arts and Culture

France is good at putting art in public places, and Canet is no exception.

Who Are We?

Hi, I’m Graham, although I usually go by Robert (my middle name) in France because ‘Graham’ is not easily pronounceable in French!

Helo! I am Nathalie, French tutor, tango teacher, and actual French person!
