A Marathon Through Versailles Castle: Discovering the Grandeur and Hidden Gems of the King’s Estate, Home to Some of My Students

 In this week’s Bilingual Zoom Class - our bilingual class with our French-speaking pen pals - we are going to take a little world tour of the places where my French and English-speaking students live. Google Earth is an excellent tool for discovering the world, easy to use during Zoom classes, and it always fascinates my students. We live all over the planet, we are in different time zones, and yet, we meet every Tuesday at 6 PM for some (France), 9 AM for others (Las Vegas), or 12 PM (in North Carolina) or 9 PM (RĂ©union Island). It’s a perfect opportunity to learn to tell time in English and French, compare our climates, etc. Interview with the family of some of our French students Some of our French students recently moved to Versailles, France. We had the pleasure of speaking with the happy mother of 6 bilingual children. Here, she shares their experiences and insights about living in this historic city. What brought you to Versailles?  My husband’s job. Where were y...
