What is meant by ..."qui a su conquérir les petits comme les grands" ?
The sentence to be translated :
There are also many options to explore Nantes…….
The correct answer is given as:
Il y a de nombreuses options pour explorer Nantes….
There is no translation of also and my use of aussi was crossed out as incorrect.

Isn´t Réveillon for New Year's Eve? Shouldn't it be Nöel?
Martin hasn't been here for long

Compare this with the previous question:
We haven't lived here very long- Nous n'habitons pas ici depuis longtemps.
