Oxford Vocab Hunt

Karine’s wonderful idea : To discover and learn French vocabulary in a fun and relaxed way, why not go on a vocab hunt through Oxford… It is recommended to take a bicycle to go on this adventure, as the words are spread all over the city, but a gentle stroll is a lovely way too!

Here is a taster of 26 words, but Karine has found no less than 50 to date.
