About

French Conversation (BEGINNER - A1)
·OnlineOnlineLEVEL: BEGINNER - A1 — 11am PT / 2pm ET
💃 What to expect at the Moulin Rouge? 🔥🎉- The famous Moulin Rouge cabaret is making headlines again with its expansion project, which affects the former apartment of poet Jacques Prévert, one of the greatest poets of the 20th century. Which is more important: a larger Moulin Rouge or a duty to remember one of the most influential poets in history? Both enjoyed their heyday in the Pigalle district during the Roaring Twenties, and their reputations are immense today, though very different. This week, let's focus on the former, the most famous cabaret in the world, the one that forged a risqué image of France and made millions of revelers dance to the music of the French Cancan.
