Each 90-minute session immerses you in the world of a writer, thinker, artist, or musician through interactive activities such as listening to interviews, analyzing songs or texts, role-playing, small group debates, and creative presentations. A cultural and linguistic journey to enrich your French while discovering extraordinary personalities!
