With tumult in the streets of France – borne out of peaceful student-led protests over education and living standards – we feel it is the perfect time to reissue our August 2021 episode on French culture, “France. Mais Oui.” Culture is an incredibly powerful – and all too often underappreciated – driver of what we as humans do (and don’t do), whether that be deciding to cross the street or to take to the streets. Prenez soin de vous.
Bonjour mes amis! In this episode, Dean and Tom promenade along the riverbanks of French culture, from Descartes and Cartesian Logic to French cheese, wine, champagne, fashion, and art, to bringing dogs inside of restaurants. We invite you to revel in the hosts’ joie de vivre without delay, s’il vous plaît; à bientôt!
