Bonjour,
In the dialog of this lesson, Eric clearly states, "nous allons arriver à Bordeaux plus tard en janvier...," yet the answer to the question, "Quand va Eric à Bordeaux?" is indicated as "en février." Yes, Eric makes the hotel reservation for the first week in February, but that is not what the question asks.
My question therefore is, is this an oversight or is it one of those French cultural things where if the first of the month falls on say a Tuesday or Wednesday, the whole week is considered to be in that month, or in this case, "en février."
Merci d'avance de me répondre

Salut John,
Sorry for the confusion with that question!
You are right that the dialogue says 'nous allons arriver à Bordeaux plus tard en janvier...' so that answer needs to be changed! I will inform our product development team that this change needs to happen.
Merci for pointing it out to us!
