THE STORY

It's Tuesday the tenth of August, in Paris. The croissants at the Hotel du Canal still come from Monsieur Bernard's bakery on the corner, and Emma wants her parents to meet him. But will he remember her? In the queue, someone else does. That afternoon, in the narrow streets of the Marais, Emma looks for the street where she got lost, two years ago. This is the conversation you'll be able to say by the end of the lesson.
