Christmas Competition 2023

Here are some hints to help you:

• (A) Titouan‘s favourite place is near his hometown at the junction of France, Switzerland and Italy. He enjoys skiing there in the winter and mountain biking in the warmer months.
• (B) Myriam has a sweet spot for an island in the Indian Ocean, which is a French overseas department (with a suitable French name). She loves the beaches that are perfect for surfing and venturing into the small villages on the island.
• (C) Justine‘s favourite place is the neighbouring island to Myriam’s, frequented for its beautiful lagoons and beaches. The island is also famous for its wildlife and used to be the only known habitat of the now extinct flightless dodo bird.
• (D) Pawel‘s favourite city also comes with a warm climate, located where the Atlas Mountains on the west end of the Sahara Desert meet the Atlantic Ocean. He likes coming back here for the laid-back vibe, sunshine and good weather all year round. 
• (E) Caroline loves visiting new places and her favourite holiday included a visit to an Elephant Sanctuary and kayaking among limestone caves.
• (F) Martin‘s favourite destination is from his volunteering days, when he lived in South America for a while. He’d love to return to this country and would recommend it for its dramatic landscapes, fjords, forests, volcanoes and glaciers.
• (G) Rachel‘s most loved holiday destination is famous for sombreros, tequila and traditional dishes made with tortillas.
• (H) Darren’s ideal destination has lots of famous landmarks and instantly recognisable references seen in films. This city on the West Coast is a real paradise for movie enthusiasts.
• (I) Crina‘s favourite place to visit is located in the Southern Carpathians, in a hidden village in an area known for the beautiful mountain peaks and rural houses that were preserved to show the local architecture. It’s also close to Dracula’s castle…
• (J) Jack‘s favourite destination also honours his love of skiing. His favourite place is straight from a skier’s bucket list, one of the largest resorts in North America and the place where the 2010 Winter Olympics were held.
• (K) Karine has a unique place on her wishlist to visit, known for its beautiful landscape and weird but wonderful wildlife. The Lord of the Rings series was also filmed there.
• (L) Catherine‘s favourite destination is where the Inca empire had started from. Today, this country is the home of more than 70% of the world’s alpaca population.
