Dear friends,
Here we are in the Southwest for a 10-day trip for two. The sun is shining. We’re touring the region by car, stopping in small villages, each more charming than the last. We’re delighted with this trip.
Hoping to see you again soon,
Karine and Thomas
Formal, from 1 person, winter:
Hello everyone,
I’m writing to you from Toulouse, where I’m spending a few days. It’s raining a lot and it’s very cold. That’s normal, it’s winter, you might say! I’m taking the opportunity to visit all the city’s museums and drink hot chocolate in the cafes. Toulouse is a magnificent city, and its people are very warm. I’m delighted.
See you soon,
Sophie

Hi Celine!
We’re skiing for a week in Les Arcs. Since we arrived, it’s snowed for two days, then it’s been sunny. We’re having a great time. Marc has made great progress in skiing. I haven’t even fallen yet.
Kisses
Heloise and Marc
See you soon !
