Une Semaine Sur La Loire
This French audiobook novel follows our beloved characters Thomas and Angela along with their now 19-year-old daughter Angela, and Pascal, a long-time family friend.
The four spend a week navigating down the gorgeous Loire river in Pascal’s renovated houseboat. As they make their way down all the way to La Baule, they’ll stop and visit some of the most famous French Castles (Chenonceau and Chambord) as well as beautiful cities, vineyards and, of course, restaurants! They’ll even enjoy a fun zip-lining adventure for a day.
This audio novel covers varied topics, such as describing castles, navigating boats, talking about agriculture, visiting a vineyard and discussing wine making, discovering Nantes and its mechanical animals, eating at a fancy restaurant, cooking up a traditional French dessert, and many more.
This French audiobook also includes a recorded Q&A section to practice your French out loud and check your understanding of the story.

Sample parts of Une Semaine Sur La Loire Chapter 6 "Le Château de Chenonceau"
Barbara Stuart, Citra, Florida, USA Verified Owner –
Interesting story with a lot of new vocabulary for me. It is all in context so I am learning the words. The enunciated French is really helpful in the beginning. It was easy to set up and Camille’s story telling manner is so engaging.

I organise a French conversation group for Stevenage U3A. We read the text and translate it ourselves then listen to Camille’s recording.
