Resources: Audio-Guides

A couple weeks ago, we had to go to a nearby city to register with the immigration office.  The visit gave us the opportunity to see a new place in France, so the first thing we did when we got to the city was to stop by la Maison du Tourisme to pick up an audio-guide.  They gave us what essentially is an MP3 player and a map with numbers that correspond to the tracks on the MP3 player.  We asked for the guide to be in French, of course, and the sight-seeing activity quickly became a wonderful language learning experience.  At each stop along the way we were able to observe what the guide was talking about, the guide was animated and articulate, and we were able to re-listen as many times as we desired.
