Bonjour !
Nous sommes maintenant bel et bien en automne, la troisième
saison dans l’hémisphère nord. Cela se traduit par une baisse de
température, les feuilles qui tombent et le port de
vêtements plus chauds. Francis Cabrel a intitulé une de ces
chansons ‘Octobre.’ A découvrir ici.
We are now truly in autumn, the third season in the Northern
Hemisphere. This translates into cooler temperatures, leaves
falling off trees and people wearing warmer clothes. Francis
Cabrel named one of his songs ‘October.’ Click here to discover it.
Cette édition est consacrée à l’automne... This edition is dedicated to autumn…
