A massive classroom, complete with school desks, is slated to occupy a staggering 6,600 square metres (71,000 square feet) of the iconic avenue leading up to the Arc de Triomphe in the French capital. The event, which takes place on June 4, will host participants vying for the title of "the world's largest dictation" by accurately transcribing a French text passage read aloud by the organisers.
