Fiona MacLeod and her friend Iain MacDonald plan a backpacking weekend
to Paris. They are on a tight budget, as they are still at school and have saved
hard for this break, so they look at possible accommodation on the internet in
order to plan their trip.
Using the support given below, work along with a partner to discuss the
various accommodation options they find and how suitable they are. You
might want to research the cost of various types of accommodation in Paris
and the facilities available in each type on the internet for yourselves.

‘S e seann film a th’ ann an Chocolat, oir tha sia bliadhna bhon a thàinig e a mach an toiseach.
Tha am film seo stèidhichte ann am baile beag anns an Fhraing . ‘S e Juliette
Binoche a’ bhana-actair ainmeil a tha a’ nochdadh ann.
Tha am film seo mu mhàthair agus nighean bheag a tha a’ gluasad gu baile
beag anns an Fhraing. Tha a’ mhathair a’ fosgladh bùth-teòclaid tarsainn an
rathaid bhon eaglais.
Chan eil an luchd-eaglaise toilichte idir, oir tha a’ bhùth fosgailte gach
Didòmhnaich, agus tha sin a’ cur fearg orra! Tha e doirbh do an nighean agus
a màthair a bhith a’ fuireach anns a’ bhaile bheag air sgàth seo, ach tha na
teòclaidean aca a’còrdadh ris a h-uile duine!
Tha a’ mhàthair a’ coinneachadh ri fear air a bheil an t-ainm “Roux”, ach
feumaidh tu am film seo fhaicinn mus bi fios agad dè tha a’ tachairt ann!
