French: Logic Puzzle- A recent trip to Paris

Read a continuous French narrative in the passé composé, including reflexive constructions such as nous nous sommes promenés and nous nous sommes rendus

Identify Paris landmarks from description alone - a cathedral on an island in the Seine, a museum with a pyramid-shaped building, a basilica in the north of the city

Combine two sources of information, the written clues and the map, to complete a logic grid where neither source is enough on its own

Only one landmark is named outright in the passage; the other six are described, so a class new to Paris geography will need the map introduced before they start

Ask students to highlight completed trip activities in the passé composé and distinguish them from present-tense landmark descriptions

The solution table can be completed in French or in English depending on the class, since the attraction names stay in French either way

Reading French in the perfect tense - trip events use passé composé forms with both auxiliaries, from nous avons pris l'avion to nous sommes rentrés.

Deductive reasoning - seven days, seven attractions and seven arrondissements are matched on a logic grid where each clue eliminates possibilities.

Reading a city map - the arrondissement column can only be completed by locating each landmark on the Paris map printed with the puzzle.
