She's here to explore why it's not ironic that we've borrowed this phrase from the French: joie de vivre.Harriet Welty Rochefort:https://www.amazon.com/Harriet-Welty-Rochefort/e/B001IR3CPEJoin us on Patreon: patreon.com/parisundergroundradioFind Us OnlineWebsite: https://www.parisundergroundradio.com/navigatingthefrenchFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/parisundergroundradioInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/parisundergroundradio/Credits- Host: Emily Monaco. @Emily_in_France; Website: http://www.tomatokumato.com and http://www.emilymmonaco.comProducer: Jennifer Geraghty. @jennyphoria; Website: http://jennyphoria.comMusic CreditsÉdith Piaf - La Vie en Rose (DeliFB Lofi Remix)🎵 MSKD Sounds:↪︎https://www.instagram.com/mskd_sounds/↪︎https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRql...↪︎https://soundcloud.com/mskd_sounds🎵 DeliFB:↪︎https://www.youtube.com/c/DeliFB↪︎https://soundcloud.com/delifb↪︎https://www.instagram.com/cativo.kevin/↪︎https://twitter.com/DeliciousFBAbout UsFrom one Emily in Paris to another... just speaking French isn't enough to understand the intricacies of the locals, but it's definitely a good place to start.
