All the sentences above use "avoir" to form the passé composé. So the past participle doesn't agree. It never agrees with a subject as the passé composé with "être" . (It agrees only with a direct object when this one is before the verb).

“Quelle age est tu” has an error because in French, you ask how many years do you have, not necessarily how many years you are. The correct way to ask the question would be “Quelle age as-tu”

For a perfect vacation in a French-speaking destination, I would choose to explore the enchanting city of Paris, France.

After arriving, I'd check into a cozy boutique hotel in the heart of the city, ideally located within walking distance of iconic landmarks like the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre Museum.

During my week-long stay, I would indulge in the rich culture and history of Paris by visiting famous attractions such as Notre-Dame Cathedral, Montmartre, and the Palace of Versailles. I'd spend leisurely afternoons strolling along the Seine River, exploring charming neighborhoods like Le Marais, and savoring delicious French cuisine at quaint sidewalk cafes and Michelin-starred restaurants.
