Miniature Movie Sets Museum

If you're a movie buff or plan to major in film, France holds many treasures.  One such treasure is the Musée Cinéma et Miniature in Lyon.  Inside you will find miniature sets used in films as well as other film props and artifacts.

Check out this photo gallery from Mental Floss:

Tu vs. Vous: A Flowchart

I love this flowchart that helps to explain when to use tu and when to use vous in French. Originally published in The Los Angeles Times,  this French article confirms its accuracy.  The article itself is in French and explains the complications of determining when to use tu and when to use vous.  It's worth a read if you want to give it a try.  If not, the infographic is also sufficient (and fun).
