TOUR GUIDE will be Edith Paillat aka Cyber Placebo, who will conduct the tour in French and in English.

She went there and had a great time... The tour was in French and she was delighted to see she could understand everything... and the things she didn't understand.. well, she just asked on the chat.

Our tour guide Cyber Placebo also gave great tips on how to use those settings for a language class. It's was a great adventure, full of useful tips and stories about the french culture.
