On the second-last day of our trip, we pay a visit to the Amal Center, a non-profit organisation set up to train disadvantaged women in hospitality, increasing their employability and opening up previously unthinkable opportunities.
Quel plaisir* to be taught by these passionate and devoted women. Good for the soul and even good for our French! *What a pleasure

Yves Saint Laurent had an abiding love for Morocco and for many years called Marrakech his second home. With partner Pierre Bergé, they rejuvenated the stunning Majorelle Gardens and the newly opened YSL Museum sits juste à côté*.
*just next door

Une journée reposante* as we travel from Taroundant to Essaouira via Agadir and we finally get a view of la mer*.
*A relaxing day | *The sea
We chat to the locals while taking time for a thé à la menthe*, then continue on to Taroudant, also known as 'Petit Marrakech'. Look out for les chèvres dans l'arbre*!
*mint tea | the goats in the tree!
Just how many languages can one person speak? We meet a man who makes multi-lingualism look easy as we continue our way across le désert*.

Les Chouchous* arrive at their ultimate destination - the Sahara! No words are necessary for this video - in fact, they'd only serve to diminish the experience.
*The Teachers' Pets
Day 5 and we're off to the Sahara!
Day 4 is is a day off for the Chouchous* and yet they still managed to get plenty done! Meanwhile, Katrina bunkers down to do some work while at the riad.
Meet the Team. Un groupe extraordinaire*.
*An extraordinary group
The men are off on an adventure. Les Chouchous*, meanwhile, are stopping by a boutique on their way to lunch before meeting Younès for a tour of the souks. Une très belle journée*.
*The Teacher’s Pets *A really beautiful day.
C’est parti*! Day 1 of Lingua Franca’s inaugural Morocco trip and l’équipe* are settling in nicely at the beautiful Riad de Tarabel. Ce n’est que le début d’un très beau voyage*.
*And we’re off! *the team * It’s just the beginning of a beautiful trip.
It's the last day of the inaugural Paris Summer School and les Chouchous* are saying au revoir*...but not before one final déjeuner*. Merci à tout le monde pour une semaine inoubliable*!
*the Teacher's Pets | *goodbye | *lunch | *Thanks to everyone for an unforgettable week.
Sadly, the inaugural Lingua Franca Summer School is coming to a close. On their second last day, the Chouchous* head out to the Marché aux Puces in the 18th arrondissement, then on to their final dinner at iconic restaurant Terminus Nord.
*Teacher's Pets
Even given ample rest time, les Chouchous* will just not leave Paris alone!

Vive la révolution! Katrina's worried everyone's wagging, the lesson on music has Anna inspired and Edward takes us on a voyage de découvertes.
*Long live the revolution | *voyage of discovery.
We meet Aurélien, manager of local café/bar Les Animals (for the grammarians out there, the incorrect use of the plural is intentional - it's that type of place...).
St Quentin Market, cooking class and then a well-deserved apéro.
