French Listening Comprehension exercise: how the Popes ended up in France

Hello French learners!
Welcome to this week’s listening comprehension exercise, from the Papal Palace in… Avignon. (That’s right, Avignon and not Rome.)

  • First, read through the transcript/translation.
  • Scroll back up to the “play button” to play the sound.
  • Listen for the words you see in the transcript. Listen over and over, until you hear every word – that should take 15 to 20 listens.
  • If you haven’t taken the ‘How-to-listen‘ course, sign up by clicking here.
