etudiante_francaise

I am a French student hoping to practice my French before planning a trip to Provence, France. If it isn't too much to ask, I would greatly appreciate a response to my questions in French. Merci!

Bonjour! Je vais aller en Provence en été. J'ai besoin d'un hotel. Je cherche un bel hotel bon marché en
Aix-en-Provence. Est-ce que vous en connaissez un?

I think you have come to the wrong forum. Yes, there are some people here who speak French (including me, if you are willing to forgive many mistakes). But the custom here is that we discuss things in English. The focus is more on travel than language learning.

Are you a classmate of Christina? Have a look at http://www.fodors.com/forums/threads...p;tid=35127883 . You will find some useful suggestions there.

Thank you for the suggestion, but I am seeking travel advice just like everyone else here and I don't see why it is a problem for someone to give me the advice I was looking for simply because I asked in French.

You might have better luck at www.tripadvisor.com. It has a French forum.

Padraig

The reason why it might be a problem is that this forum is a place where the discussion is general, not a set of one-to-one dialogues. If you ask for, and are given, information in French about inexpensive hotels in Provence then that information might not be understood by people who do not understand French.

Perhaps you might come here for travel ideas and information in English, but find other places to practise your French (the best place, of course, being France).

Bonjour, vous pouvez aussi utiliser les adresses que j'ai données sur le lien de Padraig.
Je suis ravie de voir autant d'étudiants qui veulent écrire en français à tout prix, mais malheureusement, ce n'est pas le bon forum encore une fois.

Essayez le forum Provence sur auféminin, les membres habitent toutes dans la région http://tinyurl.com/4mwdkl

Bonne chance et désolée de ne pas pouvoir répondre à votre question sur Aix en Provence. quot;>

Etudiante is doing exactly what people told Christina to do on the other thread. She is introducing herself, telling why she wants to write in France, explaining that she is learning French, and posing her question in French.

The only problem is that most people on this forum are not proficient in French in order to answer. I understand French, but lacking etudiante's bravery, I am not confident enough to post responses in French. But even if I gathered my courage and gave it a try, I don't know any hotels in Aix en Provence to recommend.

There are lots of people here who do, though, and the best way to access that information is to post a question with a subject heading including Aix, and to ask in English. You could ask in French also, and those who can answer in French could do so.

For more consistent answers in French, however, I would give Coco's recommended webistes a try as well.

Je vous propose Hotel Cardinal.

I think it's great you are studying French. But you'll receive a lot more replies to your question, if you at least let people *answer* in English.

Oui, je parlez un peu francais, mais ne j'ecrive pas francais. Aussi, je pense c'est plus important pour parlez en francais, pas ecrive.

Check out this website we have a forums devoted entirely to speaking french and many french posters on it who enjoy helping us.

Si tu veux améliorer ton français, tu dpis changer ton nom d'écran. Tu n'est pas étudiante française - tu es étudiante de français.

Bonne route!

I know that the above website have a chatroom where you could practice your French. They are mostly about Paris but like anything France related. www.ourparisforum.com
