La Parade à contresens
A red arrow sends the parade towards a closed street. Discover your first English words with Noé and Mia while finding the correct route. Story and instructions in French.

The story
A mystery to solve
In a small English port, a miniature-boat parade is stopped before it begins: a sign points towards a lane closed for building work. Join Noé and Mia to learn useful words, compare clues, recognise objects and ask for the correct sign. Six missions reuse the vocabulary in varied activities. Story and instructions are in French; the language being introduced is English.
