Connaissez-vous la France?

Before embarking in the visit of one particular region, the PPT below presents 25 different places in France, as a quiz. If you get it wrong you can go back to take a different guess and upon getting it right you will be rewarded with some concise information in French about the featured town or region. This can be a good starting point to have a look at the diversity of France. Students could also map the journey on a paper or a Google map, depending on resources available.

Le Morbihan

is a "département" of France located in a region called Bretagne, in the North West of France.
The PPT is a great visual introduction to the area. Complete with maps, pictures of the places of interest, captions and traditional music, this presentation will help students get a feel for the place. It can be a starting point for a more indepth reearch on the area or an example of presentation to get inspiration from should students embark on working on presenting an area of interest themselves.
