“Les Monuments de Paris est un roman d’une rare intensité, nourri de l’expérience vécue, qui explore le cheminement intime de l’auteure aux prises avec l’héritage de son père et de son grand-père. Tous deux figures de pouvoir, ils ont imprimé leur marque dans la vie culturelle de leur pays ; mais leur goût irrépressible pour la séduction a aussi façonné, de manière plus trouble, le destin des femmes et des enfants qui les entouraient.

À travers cette quête lucide et sensible, le livre interroge la mémoire, la filiation et le poids des silences familiaux ; autant de thèmes qui nous invitent à réfléchir à la manière dont l’histoire intime rejoint la grande Histoire.

Prerequisites: Students should have a strong B2 level to get the most out of this class.”

    Soha is the best! I love our group of students and she really knows how to teach grammar and makes it fun… I can visibly see our class improve each session.

    Everything. Above all, the teacher, the skill level of student participants, the dialogue and the instructional expertise. I wouldn’t change anything.

    How easy it is for conversational interchange among all the students. The group is small enough and not intimidating, so that everyone gets his or her chance to talk.

    level of interest – The 2 hours flew by.

    Great group and L'Alliance NY representative. I now feel like I can navigate through France and communicate most of what I need to say and hear. I could not recommend this program more!

    The opportunity to converse about interesting topics. I wouldn’t change anything.

    I enjoy the focus on getting the students actually speaking in class. Other materials are presented in the homework, so it doesn’t take away from the time in class where more active participation occurs. I wouldn’t change anything.

    I liked the interaction with my peers, the skits we have to prepare in class, the readings we have to do out loud, the compositions we have do at home, and the teacher’s sense of humor.

    What I liked most about the class is that it’s very inclusive, so nobody feels left out… Estele makes it fun and interactive.

    The emphasis on speaking helped with my confidence.

    The kinship with the other students.
