BUSINESS ENGLISH PARIS: Word of the Day is LEISURE

BUSINESS ENGLISH PARIS: Word of the Day is LEISURE.

 How important is leisure for a busy working professional like you? What are your leisure time activities?

French translation is loisir


Good morning darlings! Happy Monday. I am getting a very late start to the day. I can barely keep my eyes open in fact.

Chamonix, Mont Blanc

I am very tired and exceptionally will head to bed right after I finish this post. I probably will have to edit it because I am too tired to edit. I have to recover from my LEISURE weekend. 😄😅😅 .
I spent the weekend in the French Alps, in a tiny charming valley called Chamonix, a city surrounded on all sides by the majestic mountain range called Mont Blanc. It was a fantastic weekend, but now, I am completely exhausted and need to take a 6 hour repose before I can accomplish anything worthwhile today. But what an awesome, dynamite place for taking a little "leisure" pause.

Indeed, slowly but surely, I am becoming more and more French in this regard. This notion of LEISURE  time and the "petit weekends," and needing to have my "holidays." I feel like it is very french to really savor these things. But it could be a stereotype. Maybe you are French and you are a workaholic and you can't even tell the last time you took some time for LEISURE. 

Can we talk about that when we meet? I would love to hear about how you unwind from work and what you like to do in your hours of leisure. Have you, for example, visited Chamonix? I know that French professionals love going to the Alps during winter, especially the first three months of the year. However, I barely heard a French accent in Chamonix this weekend. It was all tourists from UK, USA and Down Under. Where do the French people go for their leisure time in the Alps??
