Navigating the French

The image of the French countryside is quite different from the reality, as Kate Hill, the American expat founder of the Relais de Camont Writers and Artists Residency, well knows. She's spent the past few decades restoring and living in a 300-year-old French farmhouse, so she's the perfect person to help distinguish the dream and the reality of French country living as we navigate champêtre.

Paris may no longer be home to medieval fortification walls, but that doesn't stop locals talking about Paris intra and extra muros. The wall, in this case, is the périphérique ring road, which has long been a stopper between the city and its suburbs. But a great plan for expanding Paris – and its métro system – outside of these walls into le grand Paris is changing lives, and the very culture of Paris. To explore how and why, Emily is joined by Simon Kuper, a Financial Times journalist and author of Impossible City. https://bookshop.org/p/books/impossible-city-paris-in-the-twenty-first-century-simon-kuper/20664638 Join us on Patreon: patreon.com/parisundergroundradio Find 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 Credits Édith Piaf - La Vie en Rose (DeliFB Lofi Remix) 

The word "peasant" in English may bring to mind blouses, skirts, or Monty Python sketches, but paysan culture is alive and well, as author Sophie Duncan is here to explore.https://www.amazon.fr/Beyond-Paris-insiders-guide-France/dp/1910779032 https://chateausurvivor.medium.com/ Additional thoughts from Sophie: "Gabrielle Chevalier's novel Clochemerle, published in 1934 is a good snapshot of the values and divisions of small country village life then. It was a spoof and made fun of the village rivalries and pretensions. Those types definitely still exist today. A great deal more light hearted than Jean de Florette.  The school teacher, liberal. The ex retired military type tends to be more conservative, siding with the priest and his posse. The village priest has all but disappeared from our village life altogether now. In the Aude, a single priest will be responsible for 10 or more parishes, visiting only when invited for funerals and baptisms. The local struggle to control the water still goes on.Having been involved in renovating the Chateau, something I noticed change was on an aesthetic level of taste. The paysan life, idealised as far back as Mariantoinette, valued hand crafted items produced skillfully and at no cost, artisanal,l natural gathered from woodland and field.  An escape from modern excess. It values a sense of simplicity, a commitment to minimal waste, and a homely, handcrafted aesthetic. Even high-powered professionals find themselves longing for the uncomplicated quality of paysan life.Nowadays land gets sold and farmers need a loan, and a concrete bungalow pays the tractor loan and makes more sense than cultivating  firewood or selling mushrooms at the market. My favourite villager one assorted me that back where I came from the ‘paysans' there would also know the power of the phases of the moon in all matters. If he were alive now I think he would be amazed by how lunar cycles have been jetisoned.Even though that type of country life is still way more robust than it is in England the aesthetic has changed too.For example in our village there was a grove of wild pomegranates, a rare strain that ripened these wonders until christmas. People would come from far and wide to the village to admire them, and the view.  A mayor came to power, not from the village who had them bulldozed, then got a grant to build a wall in the Toulouse Hospital car park aesthetic. Although hearts bled there is a reflex that getting a grant for anything is a wonderful thing. But maybe that is more of a continuation of the way things are going. The impression believing they can have something for nothing is defin timely an achilles heel. Another mayor in another village is busily bringing back the fruit trees. Overall though the shift to the uniform, predictable and lower skilled way of life.Not so long ago locals once set on a career could stick to it to the end but now the jobs end and they wish to learn something new they need to leave the countryside. The real paysan sensibility and skills are more and more a rarity and knowing the rules of grants and loans is more important than the phases of the moon and the wisdom of good husbandry"Join us on Patreon: patreon.com/parisundergroundradio Find 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 Credits Édith Piaf - La Vie en Rose (DeliFB Lofi Remix)

Parisians go about the daily grind just like any other urban denizens. In Paris specifically, the expression metro-boulot-dodo – metro, work, sleep – is used to evoke the somewhat mind-numbing nature of that day-to-day. Author Andrew Martin's Metropolitain: An Ode to the Paris Metro delves into the reality of Paris' métropolitan, from its beginnings as an echo of London's Underground to a social and aesthetic touchstone of the City of Light.

If you grew up worrying the world was a popularity contest, get yourself to France, where the word populaire is better translated as "working class" or literally, "of the people." Without an apt translation for "popular," French society governs itself by different principles, which author Debra Ollivier is more than ready to unpack.https://www.amazon.com/What-French-Women-Know-Matters/dp/042523648X Join us on Patreon: patreon.com/parisundergroundradio Find 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 Credits Édith Piaf - La Vie en Rose (DeliFB Lofi Remix) 

When we hear the word "brûlée" in English, we're likely thinking about the sweet, shattery topping of a classic French dessert.

Je ne sais quoi is a phrase American women love to use to describe their French counterparts, but according to Debra Ollivier, best-selling author of What French Women Know About Love, Sex, and Other Matters of the Heart and Mind, the French don't use it at all.

If you start to get along fairly well with a new French acquaintance, you might field the question... On peut se tutoyer ? "Can we say tu?"

If the self-help section of Barnes and Noble is to be believed, French women parent better, dress better, have sex better, cook better, lose weight better… and all with no effort at all! It's a mindset that has given Anglo-American readers almost impossible ideals to live up to, but it also has negative repercussions on teen girls growing up in an environment where it's not cool to try… or even to care.

The word retraite has two apt translations: retirement and retreat. And while the French predilection for both is portrayed in somewhat outsized fashion in the international news media, it's an apt word to discuss these days, in the wake of retirement reforms pushed through by a largely absent chief executive, President Macron.

French idioms often use body parts to evoke emotion. Feeling things dans les tripes means feeling them at your core; having le spleen is a way of evoking malaise. A crise de foie – a liver crisis – is another term for indigestion, and having mal aux reins or “painful kidneys” means you have backache. That the French are so familiar with their bodies may be one reason that they're also so comfortable with eating all parts of them, as Emily discusses with Jennifer McClagan, the acclaimed author of books entitled Bones, Odd Bits, and Blood.

France is far more than just Paris; indeed, 45 percent of the country is still agricultural. And the French countryside, despite our provincial fantasies, is not trapped in the past. To debunk the clichés and stereotypes – and shed light on the reality – Emily is joined by Forest Collins, the cocktail expert behind 52 Martinis and a part-time resident of the countryside le Perche, to delve into a world that draws a distinct line between Paris and elsewhere: province.https://www.instagram.com/52martinis/ Join us on Patreon: patreon.com/parisundergroundradio Find 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 Credits Édith Piaf - La Vie en Rose (DeliFB Lofi Remix)

One pervasive stereotype positions the French as having many lovers, but this is far from the whole story. To explore the complex relationship between French culture and sex, Emily is joined by Edith de Belleville, a lawyer turned tour guide who is delving deep into the 17th and 18th century and the origins of this week's word: libertine.https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1667831984/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?ie=UTF8&qid=&sr= https://www.amazon.fr/Belles-rebelles-Dans-grandes-Parisiennes/dp/2915543704 https://www.edithdebelleville.com/ https://www.nyadventureclub.com/search/Perfume Join us on Patreon: patreon.com/parisundergroundradio Find 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 Credits Édith Piaf - La Vie en Rose (DeliFB Lofi Remix)

If you believe the news, you may think that the French are constantly on strike. But the reality is a lot more nuanced, as Emma Pearson, editor of the Local, is here to explain the significance of the word grève as it pertains to the French character and the very fabric of social life here. That this episode's recording was pushed back twice due to strikes is… well, probably par for the course.https://twitter.com/LocalFR_Emmahttps://www.thelocal.fr/https://www.cestlagreve.fr/ Join us on Patreon: patreon.com/parisundergroundradio Find 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 Credits Édith Piaf - La Vie en Rose (DeliFB Lofi Remix)

Molly Wilkinson is an American expat who's living the dream teaching folks how to perfect the art of French desserts. It's no surprise, then, that she's here to chat with Emily about everything from cooking school to bakeries to the patron saint of pastry on this episode delving into the word pâtisserie.https://www.mollyjwilk.com/bienvenue-im-molly/https://www.instagram.com/mollyjwilk/?hl=en Join us on Patreon: patreon.com/parisundergroundradio Find 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 Credits Édith Piaf - La Vie en Rose (DeliFB Lofi Remix)

Many French language learners first encounter the false friend étranger by way of Albert Camus' seminal work, but its translation is rife with complexity. Is étranger best translated as "stranger?" "Outsider?" "Foreigner?" The answer is murky – but Dr. Antonia Wimbush, a researcher working on a project delving into French Caribbean migration in literature, is joining Emily to try to get to the root of it.https://twitter.com/wimbush_antonia https://www.liverpooluniversitypress.co.uk/doi/book/10.3828/9781800859913 Join us on Patreon: patreon.com/parisundergroundradio Find 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 Credits Édith Piaf - La Vie en Rose (DeliFB Lofi Remix)

The English words warranty and guarantee both come from the French garantie, but French has a word English doesn't: garant. To explore what this word means, Emily is joined by fellow PUR host Gail Boisclair. Her work as a property manager in Paris will help us shine a light on how the necessity of a garant reflects an innate French trust in people over data... and a bit of a tendency to resist change.parisundergroundradio.com/parisestateofmindperfectlyparis.comJoin 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)

Nature can mean natural, or one's nature, or even "plain," but when it comes to wine, it means way more. Here to explore the ins and outs of natural wine, including its reception among older French people and why it's never marketed as a healthier option in France is Aaron Ayscough, author of "The World of Natural Wine."https://www.instagram.com/aaronayscough/?hl=enhttps://www.amazon.fr/dp/157965939X/?tag=nhttps://twitter.com/A_Ayscoughhttps://substack.com/profile/15653834-aaron-ayscoughJoin us on Patreon: patreon.com/parisundergroundradio Find 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 Credits Édith Piaf - La Vie en Rose (DeliFB Lofi Remix)

In 2010, the French gastronomic meal was protected as a part of UNESCO's intangible cultural heritage – and the food was only part of the package. To discuss some of the other elements so entwined in this bastion of Frenchness is Camille Drozdz, the product designer and ceramicist behind Ici l'Atelier and a co-host of TERRE/MER terroir-based retreats in the South of France. She's here to discuss a phrase closely linked to that oh-so-French passion for food – but rather than talk about what's in the dishes, she's interested in the dishes themselves. Art de la table.

The French Resistance holds a very solid spot in the romanticized view of French history, whether you're in the U.S. or, indeed, in France. But this period of time is far from anchored wholly in the past. To unpack the history of the Résistance – the way the story is told and the way it's used to mobilize modern politics – Emily is joined by historian and journalist Diane de Vignemont.https://twitter.com/Diane2V Join us on Patreon: patreon.com/parisundergroundradio Find 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 Credits Édith Piaf - La Vie en Rose (DeliFB Lofi Remix)

Bouchon means cork but also traffic jam, in French. But neither is the meaning that Emily is discussing on this episode with Lucy Vanel, a culinary instructor based in Lyon. She's opening our eyes to a unique restaurant local to Lyon known for a specific set of dishes – and emblematic of a very Lyonnais humor.https://www.plumlyon.com/https://www.instagram.com/lucy_vanel/?hl=enJoin 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)

If the word souvenir evokes a plastic Eiffel Tower trinket, this episode is about to blow your mind. In French, souvenir is not just a noun but a verb, evoking the very act of memory. Emily is welcoming author Ellen Hampton back to the podcast to discuss the differences between personal and collective memory – specifically in the context of World War II – and exploring how the Resistance gained traction long after it was necessary and why France did not publicly acknowledge its role in the Shoah until 1995 – more than 50 years after the fact.Women of Valor: The Rochambelles on the WWII FrontJoin 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)

Some cognates have wholly different meanings in French and in English, but others differ merely in their connotation. To explore one flagrant difference is Kathryn English, a researcher and linguist at Université de Paris II, Panthéon-Assas. She's here to discuss a word that has strikingly positive connotations in English... and strikingly negative ones in French: individualisme.http://web.mit.edu/french/culturaNEH1/The article we referenced https://link.springer.com/article/10.1057/s41253-020-00139-1Join 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)

Make 'em laugh? Not necessarily! In France, comédie retains some of its Ancient Greek meaning – and doesn't necessarily include any jokes.

Head to a French school and suggest a game of chess, and you may have a bunch of nervous kids before you! Echecs is indeed the word used for chess, but it's also a word linked to failure – and one that's bandied about far more in the French school system than elsewhere. Here to discuss the dogmatic rigidity of the system that has unfortunately led to widespread failure among French students is Peter Gumbel, journalist and author of They Shoot School Kids, Don't They?http://www.petergumbel.com/fr/biohttps://www.amazon.fr/Shoot-School-Essai-blanche-English-ebook/dp/B005P8GOVQhttps://www.amazon.fr/French-School-Without-Tears-English-ebook/dp/B012UGYBTCJoin 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)

In France, non doesn't necessarily mean no. BBC journalist Sylvia Sabes joins Emily this week to explore the ways in which the French use non, not as outright refusal, but as a bargaining tool, means of analysis, and even flirtation ritual.https://www.bbc.com/travel/article/20190804-why-the-french-love-to-say-noJoin 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)

The media talk far too much about how the French manage to eat rich food without gaining weight or incurring health woes. The reality is that for the most part, they don't frame their dining around guilt at all! To explore how the French do perceive of their "guilty pleasures" is Alex Partridge, a French instructor and content creator based in Paris. He's here to discuss a phrase that directly translates to "cute sin" – péché mignon – and to explore how and why a reframing of pleasure means the French can truly embrace deliciousness.https://www.instagram.com/alexteachesfrench/Join 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)

Outsiders looking in are wont to wax poetic about the French lunch hour as an emblem of the French work ethic, but la pause déj actually got its start for reasons of hygiene.

While often translated as "back to school," la rentrée encompasses far more than pens and paper and new outfits.

Students of French are certainly not strangers to faux amis – those false cognates that look like one thing and mean another. This week, Emily is joined by Zeva Bellel, a career and personal leadership coach based in Paris, to explore the ins and outs of one of the most misleading false friends: profiter. This word is linked not to economics, but rather to the intrinsic – and rapidly evolving – relationship the French have with work and pleasure.https://www.zevabellel.com/https://www.instagram.com/zevab/Join 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)

Wine bar, bistro, café, bouillon… it seems Paris is rife with a panoply of categories to which restaurants can belong. To explore the reasons why the culinary landscape seems so divided – and why the modern nomenclature is a bit outdated – Emily is chatting with culinary educator Allison Zinder about a word that's far more than just a cube: bouillon.Join 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)
