Love Songs

This week, we’re singing our hearts out in the langue de l’Amour as we enjoy our favourite French love songs 😻🫰

Did you know that love in French feels like a thunderbolt? Indeed, the French expression to talk about love at first sight is “avoir un coup de foudre”, literally to be struck by lightning! How intensely romantic is that? 😍

Alors, sans plus attendre, feel the love with all the heartfelt French Kwiziq content we’ve selected for you! 😁💕
