WHAT IS THE FRENCH HUNT?
The French Hunt is a new way to practice your French and discover Paris. This gives non-native French speakers the opportunity to use their French skills to complete a scavenger hunt in the city of Paris. Taking you to undisclosed locations, you'll need to put your French skills, travel savviness, and situational intelligence together to complete as many tasks as you can in 4 hours. Once you complete your task, you'll get points. Do it the quickest and you could be the champion of the month. Think you have what it takes?
