C’est la voix de Édith Piaf ce qui donne l’intensité aux mots de L’Hymne à L’Amour.

Elle chante comme si son cœur se brisait. Je ressens sa douleur, son bonheur perdu, 

et l'espoir que Dieu vraiment “réunit  ceux qui s’aiment.” Je me demande si aujourd’hui les français ont une telle foi en Dieu

Missing: "Ce qui me plait plus que tout, c'est l'ambiance détendue,"

I practice pronunciation by reading these texts aloud and checking my pronunciation against the recording - that's why I noticed.

can we use afin de for reflexive verbs? is it a je vais dans la salle debains afin de me laver?

Would it be possible in the questions to give clues as to whether places are regions, cities, etc.? My French and British geography knowledge isn't that great. I could certainly Google whether places are cities or regions, but as the point of these kwizzes is to determine whether I know the proper preposition to use (and not to test my knowledge of geography), clues would be very helpful! This would be useful for all questions associated with prepositions before named places, not just this lesson. On the plus side, if there were clues as to the type a place is (region, city, etc.), I would gradually learn geography by proxy! Thanks!

Less commonly, à + indirect object may be replaced with the adverbial pronoun y:
