This video introduces Paris, the capital of France and looks at a region west of Paris where the "Dubois family" lives in the country. We stroll through a typical French market in the small town of Meulan. We visit a 12th century Church and look at Castles. Traveling through Normandy we find out about the style of this region by strolling through the streets of Honfleur, a small seaside town on the Channel Coast. Of course, food is of paramount importance to the French so we visit a Cake Shop and a 100 year old Cheese Shop in the town of St Germanin en Laye near Paris. The video also doubles up as a language program by introducing French words that are relevant to what we see.
