Carambolages dans les rues de Beaune

Language is the guide's indispensable tool. And when the public is not French-speaking? How does it work for the guide in - or rather between - two languages, for example French and German? He has to translate not only a language, but also a culture. But ... are France and Germany really separated by two languages and two cultures?
Karoline Knoth, your guide, is French of German origin. Between the Hôtel Dieu and the ramparts, she will show you the city of Beaune and some amusing and surprising aspects of the life of a French-German guide. Your discovery of the town of Beaune becomes at the same time a journey through the common history of two European countries and the often intertwined history of their languages. Words have a life of their own and they love to travel from one country to another and discover new contexts. Meet old acquaintances in surprising places and false friends everywhere. Discover the secret and sometimes very surprising migration of words and expressions between two, sometimes even three countries.
Open to all, knowledge of German is not necessary to follow the tour, but can help to have even more fun.
This tour is particularly suitable for school children and other German language learners. They will discover a new, playful way of getting to know their subject of study. And for all lovers of history, language history and Burgundy.
This tour is of course available in French AND in German. more info: www. knoth-bourgogne.fr
