Buy Full Notes This interview is taking you to Ardèche, that (so) beautiful part of France where I used to spend the summer holidays as a child. Meet André Rouy aka « Dédé l’Ardéchois » and discover the history of the train network in Ardèche – the only French département which doesn’t operate any more trains. Dédé and the Association VIADUC 07 worked to protect that heritage. Dédé wrote several books and created a train museum which opened on the 30th anniversary of the last train running through Ardèche. He built it all himself, with humour as well as a unique way to optimise his small space. What can you see in the museum? Listen to find out!

Buy Full Notes This 2-part interview with Manolo will take you to the heart of the French Basque country (Pays Basque), its heritage and its tradition of making “vin de pomme” (also known as “sagardo”, or “sagarno”), which is not the same as the apple cider from Normandy. The start of the conversation will help you locate the Pays Basque and understand its strong sense of identity. People still wear the beret, speak basque (which is a language in itself, not related to French), play local traditional instruments that the rest of France probably never heard of. Listen to find out how talking about music naturally led us to talking about apples (yes, there’s a link!). By the way, do you know where apples originally come from? What’s the difference between “vin de pomme” and “cidre”? In other words, what’s the difference with how the Basque and the Norman people process their apples? The answers are in this episode. We’ll talk about the fermentation process of course. We’ll also see why the properties of the sagardo / vin de pomme made it the daily drink on board the ships in the old times. As you may have understood by now, this interview is all about culture, traditions, heritage, history, about understanding how trade, routes and human exchanges played a central role in the diversity of it all. Last but not least this interview is Manolo sharing his passion with you. We hope you enjoy it.

Wonder

Buy Full Notes Betty Levanqué really is an incredible woman, I would even call her a wonder woman. I’m truly in awe at everything she’s done so far in her life, her stamina, her strength; she’s an inspiration to work hard, be present for your family, love people, give back to others when you can. Betty studied hard, even while becoming the other of a very premature baby with a disability and later on resuming her studies and taking up three courses in three different universities the same year at age… 40. She founded an association to help orphans in Vietnam (where her background is), the food bank of New Caledonia where she lives (banque alimentaire de Nouvelle-Calédonie), owns a real estate agency (Le Café Immobilier) as well as a popular café in Nouméa (Boops Café), and is the president of the APESA, an association supporting business managers burning out and at risk of committing suicide. The least we can say is that Betty is profoundly humane and committed to making a difference in people’s lives. This is a long, inspiring, feel good interview.

This recording is in French, here’s the outline of what I talk about to help you follow: A comeback video in a new environment: we’re in France! We’ve been settling down, enjoying family time after two years of separation, finally meeting my little (and very cute nephew), creating memories (e.g we took the kids to the snow!) The children have started attending French school…on and off really, due to the absurd C*vid protocols in place here. Still, I’m hoping this will give me some time to resume working on French Your Way! In 2021, I worked on a personal project (I’ll tell you about it when the right time comes) and spent quite a while in lockdown being my daughter’s private teacher. We also prepared our departure to France. In order to help you with your French, I need YOU to give me your input, your feedback:  What is your biggest struggle about learning French? What do you need explanations/reinforcement with? What type of content do you find most helpful to learn? (podcasts, online classes, eBooks?)  Please get in touch! Email me /!\ Don’t forget: I explain French concepts in English. If you know me, you know that!  For authentic conversations in French, check out my “French Voices” podcast. Thanks for your patience while I wrap my head around things again and release new content! I am grateful for your support and your kindness. Jessica Subscribe to my newsletter.

This isn&#39;t the only French-language podcast I subscribe to, but it&#39;s the best of them (others of which are also quite good).  I like the cheerful introduction (in English) by Jessica with a short list of vocabulary words to look out for — though sometimes these aren&#39;t the words _I_ would have chosen (ce n&#39;est façile à choisir, j&#39;imagine !).  

I also like the long-form (half an hour +/-), which helps me to re-engage when I get a bit lost without simply burying me in voices.  I like the variety of voices and topics, some of which are more challenging than others, or more interesting than others.  C&#39;est la vie, n&#39;est-pas?  That variety helps to broaden the range of comprehension.  My French teacher in high school (decades ago) had good pronunciation, etc., but it was always her voice we heard, so it didn&#39;t always make it easier to understand a wide range of voices.

Useful, challenging, long-form French-language podcast

Jessica does a great job of interviewing interesting people and using real French.

The best alternative to French lessons!

FV 098 : Life of a make-up artist

Buy Full Notes Matthieu Lliboutry may be the most friendly, fun and passionate real estate agent you’d ever meet! I’ve discovered him some time ago on one of my favourite French reality TV programme, “Chasseurs d’Appart’ “, where three real estate agents compete to find candidates their dream home or apartment. Matthieu has regular appearances in the show, mainly in episodes based in the Bordeaux area, and had always struck me for his great personality and professionalism. I decided to try my luck and reach out to him to invite him on an episode for French Voices and was so happy he accepted straight away! We ended up talking for a little while, so the conversation will be over 2 episodes. In today’s episode, you’ll learn how Matthieu became a real estate agent. We’re also talking about the negative image associated to the real estate world: are agents just sharks looking for your money? Matthieu is passionate about certain types of buildings / architecture: which ones and why is that? You’ll find out more about who was “le Baron Haussman” and his legacy regarding the layout of cities like Paris as well as how lifestyle influences the layout of a building’s interior. Discover what the traditional houses from Bordeaux are called and what their characteristic features are. Parisians, foreigners : who is interested in buying a property in the Bordeaux region?  Matthieu will brush up the typical profiles of investors. Finally, how do you assess the value of a property? What are the different factors influencing the prices in real estate? Listen to find out!

About Haussman-style buildings: where was the kitchen usually located? Why was there a second entry door at the back? Why should “la pierre de Bordeaux” (the stone from Bordeaux) left bare, i.e without painting or coating? What are the main 2 economic sectors in Bordeaux?  Answers:  Passion leads the best agents: you have to work for countless hours (not always with a result) and have virtually no holiday/break. The kitchen was located as far as possible from the living area (it was an undesirable room); the back door was an independent entry for the maid not to have to use the main entrance. The stone needs to breathe otherwise it gets mouldy and it’s dangerous. The wine tourism and real estate.

FV 063 : Baguettes Made in France

Buy Full Notes This episode is the second part of my conversation with Hélène, a former driving instructor from France who will share information about driving in France. Compare with your own country! We’ll start with talking about the speed limits and recent changes about them in France. Why so much controversy, and what are the reasons behind these changes? Find out why there often are trees along the road, which I’m raising as something particularly illogical and dangerous. However, we’ll learn that there are good reasons for this! We’ll also tell you about la priorité à droite, a very important road rule that may not exist in your country. What does a French driving licence look like and how long is it valid for? Do foreigners need an international licence to drive in France? Listen to find out! Also check out the links in the shownotes for more tips about driving in France and the link to a fun comedy, “Un Point c’est tout”, where reckless drivers attend a worksop to get points back on their licence.

Buy Full Notes Frenchwoman Stéphanie Brillant is the director (= réalisatrice) of documentary film “Brainious” – “Le cerveau des enfants” in French. I first watched the documentary because as a parent, I want to be the best possible guide for my daughter, develop and maintain a strong bond with her based on trust so she can become a confident and independent person. Although the film gives food for thought about how to best help children to reach their full potential, it is not only aimed at parents or caregivers: it is also an invitation to understand oneself, to explore how our present behaviours have been shaped by your own upbringing. The approach is never dogmatic and doesn’t tell you how you should raise your child – each way of doing being unique, just as every human being is. It is however fascinating to shed light on how the brain is naturally wired – because what seems like pure psychology is actually related to how the brain works and develops. The very culture in which you grow up plays a role in how you respond to events. Stephanie will give examples illustrating how and why French pupils are afraid of making mistakes whereas in the US – where she now lives- she observed these mistakes were being embraced as fully part of the learning process. Relationships are key to an individual’s psychological development. Words are powerful and can make or break a sensitive person. Stephanie will share her very own example of how she sabotaged her school years because of the way influential people were seeing her. You’ll also understand why you are actually NOT doing children a favour by praising how smart they are; you’ll find other alternatives to help stimulate their resilience and problem-solving skills. We’ll discuss why traditional classroom settings are in total contradiction with the way children learn – through movement. Why is it then that they’re asked to stay still for hours at a desk? What does research say and how can we address this paradox? Stéphanie interviewed many experts (neuroscientists, researchers, psychologists, specialists in behavioural science, in parenting, etc.); she went to visit and film schools in which the children are learning to be mindful and emotionally healthy. There are very simple tricks that can be taught to children so that they learn to identify and handle their emotions – these should be taught in every classroom! “Brainious” explores so many concepts we didn’t have the time to touch on all of them in the interview. I simply encourage you to watch this one of a kind documentary!

Maryse Mounier

Vanilla Bourbon

Buy Full Notes Today’s guest Maryse Mounier is a very energetic woman who is passionate about vanilla. She is working, on her own, in the forest where she grows Bourbon vanilla, a type of vanilla which is famous worldwide for its high quality and strong flavour. Bourbon was actually the former name of La Réunion island and we call “vanille bourbon” the vanilla beans coming from the vanilla planifolia plant. You can also find vanilla planifolia in other areas such as Madagascar or the Comoros but they are grown differently. For example, Maryse Mounier’s plantation is located on a very old lava track Réunion, which means her vanilla grows on very little soil but on a volcanic land. Vanilla is a climbing vine which is quite fragile and growing it takes a lot of care and patience: you’ll need to wait several years before getting your first vanilla flowers! In addition, growing vanilla also requires hard physical work, is entirely done by hand – which explains why vanilla is the second most expensive spice after saffron. Although vanilla has become an emblem of the area, this plant is actually not native from La Réunion and there are no insect pollinating the flower on the island. Fecundation must therefore be done by hand in order to get the vanilla pods! In this episode, you’ll also learn that Maryse is comes from Métropole (= Mainland France) and fell in love with vanilla when she moved in La Réunion. After growing it in her garden for her own consumption, Maryse got the opportunity to get a long-term lease of land in a primal forest which she had to clear out herself. Being a woman and a “Zoreille” were initially a challenge for her. What’s a “zoreille”? Listen to find out!

<a href="http://frenchvoicespodcast.com/buynotes87" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Buy Full Notes</a> Today’s guest Maryse Mounier is a very energetic woman who is passionate about vanilla. She is working, on her own, in the forest where she grows Bourbon vanilla, a type of vanilla which is famous worldwide for its high quality and strong flavour. Bourbon was actually the former name of La Réunion island and we call “vanille bourbon” the vanilla beans coming from the vanilla planifolia plant. You can also find vanilla planifolia in other areas such as Madagascar or the Comoros but they are grown differently. For example, Maryse Mounier’s plantation is located on a very old lava track Réunion, which means her vanilla grows on very little soil but on a volcanic land.

French bath, French kiss). This highly interesting collection actually reveals how the French are seen by foreigners (and that goes from the ultimate glamour to French people being dirty!). Marie will also give us her expert opinion on the question: is it possible that there will be one universal language in the future? What do you think? Listen to find out! Note: Marie Treps is a passionate linguist and author of many books about words.
