Going to Town and the Pronoun On

How is your town set up? Towns in France are generally oriented with the older, downtown (au centre ville) section in the center. In this part of town, you will find the town hall, shops, and cafés. As you get farther away from the busy center of town, you will find single family homes and apartment buildings. In this topic, you will learn the names of places that make up a town. You will also explore how to talk about a general pronoun, on.
