# Édito A2, Unit 10: At the tourist office

**Language:** French  
**CEFR Level:** A2  

> Master getting tourist information by listening to Vincent and Morgane's conversation at the tourist office in Annecy, which pairs with the themes of unit 10 of Édito A2. It may feel challenging at first, but by the end of this course you will be able to fully understand and participate.

**Setting:** The tourist office by the lake in Annecy on a July morning. Vincent is on holiday with his wife and their two children; yesterday they queued for an hour for a boat trip and it was full, and he is still annoyed. Morgane works at the office every summer. They use vous with each other throughout.
