Paris suburbs
Hello,
I'm living at the live north of Paris, in the suburbs. My department is the Val d'Oise, (to note,: a department is a fFrench territorial devision). In the Val d'Oise, we have a pretty nice river ; Oise. In summer, it's very wonderful to go in to Auvers sur Oise and visit this picturesque town. This town is very famous because Van Gogh lived the rest last years of his live life before to committing suicide in a hostel, that which you can visit. This impressionist painter was very impressive in his art, his paintings really catch a moment with true colors and atmosphere.
Nowadays, you could also visit Impressionist Museum.
What else is there in Val d'Oise ?
The celebrated Renaissance museum taking place is located in the pretty castle of Ecouen.
It's a very peaceful place where you can make the most of the garden, and by liying you lying on grass, reading a book and feeling a soft breeze on your skin. That It is a true pleasure like to be sat sit on the Oise's riverbanks comtemplating the barges and swans.
Thanks to fix my mistakes, it will be very lovely.:)
Best regardsBrice, This was very good. I made a few corrections and tried not to change too much of your original text.

Last year, I had to move to Le Havre because of my studies.
Le Havre is an average city of 175 000 inhabitants located in the North of France at the embouchure mouth of the Seine rRiver. Even if though this city is pretty close to Paris (only one hour by train), you will maybe may have never heard about it. Indeed, the current city is not really attractive for appealing to tourists since it has been was rebuilt with tons of concrete after World War 2 bombings, giving a sad look to the city. Moreover, this sad depressing architecture is often accentuated with the bad weather, especially in winter :)
Over time, i I got have gotten used to this city where industry is very established and really gives life to the city. I practice sailing every week on J-80 which allows me to get close to the giant ships entering in the harbour (Le Havre is the second French harbour with an important cruise and container traffic). The city has a true maritime culture. Indeed, in the street you can encounter somebody wearing a wetsuit and carrying his surfboard under his arm to enjoy an after-work session. What's more, tomorrow there will be the departure start (or beginning) of a famous oceanic race called the Transat Jacques Vabre between Le Havre and Itajaí in Brazil. This event brings creates a very enjoyable (or festive) atmosphere in the city.
Here is a little photo of Le Havre beach.Très bon travail, Phillippe. I made a few corrections and tried to smooth out the grammar a little while keeping as much of your original writing intact as possible. Also, harbour is the British spelling and harbor is the American spelling. Both are acceptable, but harbor is considerably more common here in the US. There are other words that have variant spellings: colour (Brit) vs color(Amer), theatre (Brit) vs theater (Amer), centre (Brit) vs center (Amer), etc.
J'espère que cela aide.

I'm going to tell you why travelsing areis rewarding and fascinating and why it's really worth going into anothers countries.
-->What does travelling bring you ?
*Travelling brings you wisdom and another point of view:
*Travelling breaks the routine
If you're tired of working and living in a gray and lazy world, travelling represents a very good opportunity to take your mind offescape the boredom.

When you gotravel in a foreingforeign country, you discover a new culture, and new ways of life. It's also the occasion to discover a new language and improve yourself. Alone, itTraveling alone makes you more independantent and more responsible than before, it also brings you self-confidence. You can have time for yourself, too. : tToday, time can be considered as a luxury in our society considers time a luxury because we have never enough time to do what we want.There is more than one way this could be written and still maintain the general theme. I tried to limit the corrections in order to keep as much of your original text intact. Also, in written English, it is best to avoid contractions such as: you're, you've, it's, etc. Contractions are normal when casually speaking or writing dialog for a story, but it is better to use both words in more formal writing.
J'espère que cela aide.
