When traveling to a country, knowing the names of places and buildings in the city is fundamental, as they will help you to get around, ask for directions, and simply survive. 

Now imagine this… you just landed in Paris, you are looking for a hotel, and everyone around you speaks French but your last french class was 3 months ago (if you want to prepare for your trip now, you can always book one with me). What do you do? 

Or maybe you’re in secondary school, with the GCSE around the corner, and you need a quick refresher on French places in town.
