Bonjour, I have been a French and Spanish teacher for 22 years now, and I truly enjoy making engaging and colourful resources for my classes. I wanted to share some with you to save you time (we all know that teachers never get enough time!). Feel free to adapt and change anything to your taste and teaching style.
