French Conversation (INTERMEDIATE - B1)

LEVEL: INTERMEDIATE - B1 — 12pm PT / 3pm ET

💇‍♀️ Get ready for the 2025 Paris World Cup of Haircuts! 🏆🏅 - Behind every masterpiece of "haute couture" lies a tour de force of "haute coiffure." Last year's World Cup winner was French; here's an interview featuring her incredible creation. This week, let's pay tribute to all hairdressers by exploring the history of hairdressing in France and Europe. Once deeply linked to social status and heritage, haircuts have evolved considerably over time (sometimes in very amusing ways). But the big question is: do our hairstyles still reveal something about us today, or have they become simply a matter of style?

#### Preparation:

• watch this week's episode about the "haute coiffure": https://youtu.be/8tfhUZmbV-g (subtitles are available in French and English by clicking on the CC button on the YouTube control bar).
• prepare one or two questions
