L’introduction
You are taking a trip to France. The
plane just landed and you are waiting for
your luggage to come out. Unfortunately,
your suitcase was lost! Zut, zut, et zut! It
appears that you are going to be in France
for 2 weeks with no clothes other than
what you are wearing. Fortunately, the
airline feels so badly that they offer you
1000 euros to go shopping. Your assignment
is to investigate French clothing stores and
pick out what you would need to survive 2
weeks in France in whatever season you
choose.
La tâche
Using the Internet, you will look at
several different French stores,
taking notes on the price, colors,
sizes, etc., of each item you want to
buy. You will select the clothes you
want to buy, and create a PowerPoint
presentation showing everything that
you are buying.
La méthode
Step 1: Go to several different French stores’ websites. You need to
pick clothes from at least 3 different stores. Look at the clothes
online and take notes about the clothes that you would like to buy and
their prices.
• Possible websites to visit:
http://www.galerieslafayette.com - This is the website for the most famous French "grand magasin" which basically means department
store. This is a very high-end store and can be compared to Bloomingdales, Macys, Saks, etc.
http://www.promod.fr - This website has lots of great clothes for women.
http://www.cyrillus.com - This is a large on-line store for women, men, and children's clothing.
http://www.dress-for-less.fr/tmpl/de/home.tmpl - A French discount clothing site.
http://www.generation-shopping.com - Another large French website with clothes for everyone.
http://www.3suisses.fr - Another large French website with clothes for everyone.
http://www.laredoute.fr - Another large French website with clothes for everyone.
http://www.somewhere.fr/fr/ - Clothing for men and women.
http://www.saint-james.fr/ - Another large French website with clothes for everyone.
http://www.kelkoo.fr/md-merchants - This website has a great list of French online stores. Not all of them sell clothes, but you can get a
sense of some of the biggest French brands.
• Feel free to find your own websites.
• Don’t forget to convert your American clothing and shoe sizes
into European sizes. Here are some links to help you do that:
Clothing - http://www.i18nguy.com/clothing.html
Shoes - http://www.i18nguy.com/l10n/shoes.html
La méthode
Step 2: Now that you've had a chance to look at some clothing
websites, choose what you're going to buy. For each of the items you
want to purchase, you need to create a slide in PowerPoint. For each
item, include:
•
a picture (if possible)
•
a simple description
•
the size
•
the color
•
the price
•
any other important information
At the bottom of the slide, include the website where you found the
item.
–You need at least 10 items of clothing from at least 3 different
websites. Make sure you don’t spend more than your limit of 1000 €!

•une chemise noire
•Elle coûte 19,95 €.
