Hi Francis,

it was a typo as correct in the main body.

it has been fixed, should be,

accompagnée

as I believe it is a woman talking.

Bonne Continuation!

I think the direct object is "me."  Accompany me.  Since the speaker is a woman, we need an e at the end of accompagne'.  As  noted above, the s is a mistake.  I didn't get this one right either.
