Chagall Exhibit at Carrières de Lumières

Une fois par mois, nous vous proposons de participer à nos visites guidées ou sorties EN ANGLAIS aux alentours d’Aix-en-Provence.

Elles sont ouvertes à tous : anglophones et non-anglophones, étrangers, touristes, voyageurs d’affaires, familles, etc.

Au cours des séances hebdomadaires, nous préparons ces visites pour acquérir le vocabulaire et les expressions spécifiques dont nous aurons besoin. Ces séances sont intitulées « Préparer une visite« .

Après la visite, nous pourrons également échanger et réutiliser nos connaissances autour d’un verre et au-cours de la prochaine séance en groupe !

Once a month, we offer you to join our guided tour or visit IN ENGLISH around Aix-en-Provence.

English speaking people, Non-English speakers, foreigner, tourists, families : everyone is welcome !

First, attend the « Prepare a visit » class to know helpful vocabulary and expressions.

After visiting, we can share opinions and reuse our knowledge around a drink and during the next « Prepare a visit » class!

Thank you to Helen, our american teacher and sister of the artist: nothing could have been possible without her!!! She had done the perfect class before to prepare us for this event! We had all the vocabulary to understand the techniques and explanations of the painter!

Seul, avec des amis, des collègues de travail ou en famille (les enfants à partir de 5 ans sont les bienvenus si cette activité les intéresse aussi), toutes les possibilités sont envisageables!

Découvrez le vocabulaire et les expressions spécifiques à ce domaine au cours de nos séances hebdomadaires. Ou participez à un de nos « ATELIER CUISINE » (atmosphère conviviale garantie) pour expérimenter, pratiquer ou réviser ce que vous aurez appris auparavant.

Cooking, if you like it, can be a fantastic way to practise your English/French and have fun.
