La Haute Route, Switzerland

When John L. spent two weeks hiking through the Swiss Alps, he kept a French journal in order to share his adventures with other would-be hikers and armchair travelers. Whether or not you plan to follow in his footsteps, his journal offers an interesting story written in low-intermediate French.

Each of the 20 episodes includes a French sound file and side-by-side French/English translation, as well as beautiful photos. Follow John and his brother Jim through the Swiss Alps as you work on your French listening comprehension - bon voyage !
