L’été dans le sud
TRADUCTION (Translation) :
Summer in the south
In summer, many tourists come to spend their holidays in the south of France. They love walking on the beach and swimming in the sea. In the morning, families lay their towels on the warm sand. Children collect seashells or play ball. Adults read a book or chat in the shade of a parasol. Sometimes, you hear the call of seagulls and the sound of the waves. The air smells of salt and sunscreen. Everyone enjoys the sun and the gentle summer weather.
