Champs-Élysées hosts massive dictation event.

The Champs-Élysées in Paris was taken over by writers on Sunday for a massive dictation event organized by novelist Rachid Santaki to improve literacy across France. Over 5,000 applicants attempted to transcribe text excerpts read aloud over three rounds. The event may have been the world's largest-ever dictation, with participants ranging in age from 10-90 equipped with pen and paper. The initiative aims to bring people together and have fun around spelling and the French language.
