Ma ville pittoresque

Ma ville pittoresque
A. Read the text and answer the questions below.
Ma ville est très pittoresque. Il y a des magasins, une bibliothèque, un petit musée et
beaucoup d’hôtels et de restaurants. J’aime manger aux restaurants pour mon
anniversaire. La poste est en face de l’église principale et près du commissariat de
police. Dans le centre, il y a un joli jardin public et il y a un grand parc près de la plage
où on peut faire du skate et jouer au foot. Il y a un centre sportif aussi, mais il n’y a
pas de cinéma ni de patinoire. En été, on peut nager dans la mer et se bronzer sur la
plage. C’est idéal pour les vacances.
