Set in Marseille, a coastal jewel and the second-most-populous city in France, this program explores the urban landscape with the help of youthful guides—revealing the meanings and usages of numerous French words, phrases, and expressions. Viewers are shown, among other things, a bustling flea market, a fitness education festival (including tai chi and American football!), and a colorful seafood market. A great learning tool that mixes fun, facts, and real-world situations to reinforce language comprehension. English narration sets up each segment.
