Le Miel de Paris



The people of Paris have hives, "les ruchers" in parks, and on rooftops. When I was there 2 years ago I took many photos of the elegant hives found in the heart of Le Jardin de Luxembourg. The orchard or Orangerie has an annual sale of the honey in the fall. here below is a photo I took. Notice the rooftops of Paris in the background, just to the right of the gazebo!

It is useful for students to become accustomed to different regional accents. Can you explain the differences in intonation between this young lady and a parisienne?
