So lovely to join the chat with you today with the French Cultural Center in Boston! I discovered your podcast via David Lebovitz or Cara Black, ages ago, and have been listening a lot during this pandemic while I sew masks. It’s been really great to listen along. I’ve only been to Paris once, after a 5-day trip to Bordeaux last spring (my son is a French major, was studying there). We had one afternoon and evening before flying home the next morning, but all I got to see was the inside of the American Hospital in Paris! The hotel had to take the plywood down from the front door (Gilot Jeunes) to get me in the taxi, where I sped like Madeleine (exactly!). I made it home safely to Boston for emergency gallbladder surgery. The whole story is much more funny (and a little scary). The Parisians were incredibly kind, but sadly I did not get to see any of Paris! Now I get to see it through your eyes, so thank you for all the great episodes! Merci, Nicole
So glad to have you on board, thanks for the kind words and nice chatting today!!!
I’ve been really enjoying listening to your podcast, stumbled across it when getting ready for a trip to Paris coming up on May 12, of course that’s not happening for the moment but hopefully will happen someday! So enjoy your enthusiastic sense of adventure! And truly appreciate Linas daily watercolors!! Caught the end of the Pub Quiz today lots of fun! Keep up the good work! So excited for the book!
I am so glad i came across your podcast. I am a confirmed francophile and i will find any excuse to go to France. I even studied for a post graduate at HEC Paris. I have missed France terribly this lockdown season and your podcast is a welcome delight!
Oh I’m so glad to hear it – welcome to this little community 😉 thanks for supporting it too!!!
