Letters from France

Each month, Nathalie writes to children learning French about one part of France: its places, its history, its food. Here is every letter so far, each with facts, French words, a free printable and a recipe to try.

• Victor Hugo Victor Hugo for kids: the boy who dreamed big, the book that saved Notre-Dame, 19 years of exile and 4,000 secret drawings.
• The Eiffel Tower The story of the Eiffel Tower for kids: a mad idea, 300 angry artists, 2.5 million rivets and the secret that saved it.
• Prehistory and the Lascaux Cave Prehistory for kids: Neanderthals, Cro-Magnon artists, and the four boys and a dog who found the Lascaux cave.
• France, the Hexagon France for kids: its natural borders, its regions, its people, and the secret of its nickname.
