Cookbook author and baker extraordinaire, Dorie Greenspan, joins Michele to discuss the long, winding and unforeseen journey to Dorie's great baking career. Dorie grew up in a household that did not cook home-cooked meals, and as a young adult, she first pursued an academic PHD. Cooking was not on her radar.

In the sixth and final installment on the French Revolution, Dan takes a deep dive into one of history's most influential and controversial figures: Napoleon Bonaparte. After winning victory for France in Northern Italy, the brilliant young general has the attention of the French Directory. A campaign in Egypt and victory in another war will put Napoleon in a position to become Emperor. But across the English Channel, Great Britain continues a naval blockade and a diplomatic campaign to unite Europe against the new French Empire. To hold onto power, Napoleon will battle a series of coalitions, each time hoping it will be the last. Win or lose, one thing is certain: Europe – and the world – will never be the same.

Read the Reader Views Review of Boston My Blissful Winter   A Note from the Author "Dear friends, The American-English translation of my book "Boston, un hiver si court" has just been released as "Boston My Blissful Winter, Memories of the 1980s", by PRA Publishing. We owe it to Paulette Boudrot, who did a remarkable job giving us an attentive, precise, elegant and faithful version. I thank her very sincerely. I would also like to thank the publisher, Lucinda Clark and editor, Ellen Albanese, who, despite the health crisis we are all experiencing, have managed to meet publication deadlines. Over time, the 1980s emerged as happy and fruitful years. Peace and prosperity prevailed in Boston. The large number of students attending its universities brought enthusiasm and joy to this human-scaled city where it was a pleasure to live. The centennial of the Statue of Liberty, the bicentennial of the Revolution of 1789, and the visit of the French President gave me many opportunities to celebrate the French and Franco-American friendship. These occasions also allowed me to discover the strength of the Bostonians, attached to their traditions, but tolerant, reasonable, and daring, always ready to protect Freedom and especially their own freedom. I have had the pleasure of meeting exceptional people, some noted in my book and to whom it is dedicated. " Alain Briottet Paris October 2020

Join Us in France Travel Podcast, Episode 192 Full Show Notes at https://joinusinfrance.com/192 *** In this episode Claire and Annie chat about how Claire and her husband moved to France on a long stay tourist visa. Because Claire was born in France and moved to the US at age 4, she thought she could to move to France as a French citizen and apply for a visa for her husband. But the French Consulate in Chicago told her she wasn't really French (we never elucidate why!) and she applied to move to France on a long term tourist visa instead. Moving to France on a long stay tourist visa worked perfectly and on today's show we go through all the steps she had to go through. Things went smoothly, and like we found on Episode 131, Moving to France on a Talents and Abilities Visa, things go smoothly if you are prepared with all the necessary paperwork! Some of the questions we address are where do you start? How do you get an address in France? How do you get a bank account in France? What about moving your dog or pets to France? How fast can you get access to French healthcare? Do you have regrets since moving to France? *** Subscribe to the email extras and bonuses Ask a question or leave a voicemail comment: +1 801 806 1015 To learn about Join Us in France Tours, visit Addicted to France Click here to support the show when you shop on Amazon Show Merchandise including shirts, totes, phone cases and more!

The rules are explained here, in French. We’re not lawyers or relocation specialists, please don’t ask us about your particular case. List of Papers Needed to Move to France on a Long Term Tourist Visa [05:32] How to get your Consular appointment and list of paperwork they will require for a long term tourist visa. [06:46] Health insurance requirement and how to easily fulfill that. [07:31] Proof of residence requirement is harder to get and how to do it the easy way: rent a Gîte. If you speak French, another great tip is to use Le Bon Coin, there are lots of rentals by owner listed there. [12:39] Proof of sufficient means to support yourself for the time you’re going to be there. Details of what that means exactly. [15:30] Signed statement that indicates what you intend to do while in France and another one that states that you will not work in France. [16:10] Application Fee. They do not accept credit cards even though their site says they do! This whole thing happened in one day because they had all the paperwork ready. They left their passports behind and got their visas a couple of weeks later in the mail. [17:18] Filling with the OFII when you get to France. Medical exam and sticker. [19:14] They will give you an appointment at the Préfecture that you cannot change. Providing the paperwork all over again for the yearly renewal and getting an actual card. [21:53] In France, never take no for an answer. Plead your case! Restate your reasons. Don’t give up too fast! Qualifying for the French Health Card [23:42] Dealing with French health care and getting a carte vitale. [25:08] Reasons why French health care is so wonderful. Opening a Bank Account in France [26:58] Opening a bank account in France. [27:18] Start with getting an address and proper proof that you have an address (i.e. a lease or deed of ownership). [28:00] You can't walk into a bank and open an account in France. They will want you to make an appointment and come back 2 weeks later. [28:43] Some French banks will not open accounts with Americans. [29:53] Americans living in France are supposed to file and pay taxes in the US. Dealing with filing for taxes in France also. Move Your Stuff or Sell It? [35:18]  Moving your stuff over to France and what to pack, what to sell? [36:00] Bringing American appliances to France, worth it or not? [37:45] The sticker shock of moving companies and all the paperwork you will need to keep. Moving a Dog to France [39:24] Moving a dog to France: use Air France, your dog can fly on the same plane as you do. [43:04] What was the most painful part about moving to France? [44:48] Life in a French village is really slow. [46:48] What was a pleasant surprise about moving to France? Rural areas in France are cheap, and French people are not big consumers. [49:11] When people around you don't understand why you'd want to move. [50:47] Resources recommended, see list above. Those books were good because they provide checklists and steps of what you need to do to establish your household in France. [52:22] Container showing up late, very late. It's important to get the timing right. Is It Important that You Speak Some French? [54:58] How important is it to speak French? It's vital! At least one of you needs to have decent French or life will become so full of misunderstandings, you'll get discouraged and hate it. [56:08] How do you decide where to move to in France? How did you pick your place? [59:52] Can you share any tips for buying a car in France? Again, things take time. You won't drive off the lot with the car the day you choose it. You have to line up the payment and paperwork, even if you're paying "cash". [62:17] What do you wish you knew before you moved to France? [63:09] Get involved locally and integrate. Find associations for sports or hobbies or volunteer opportunities. [65:17] Life in small villages in France: how small is too small? Small places don't have enough businesses. [68:18] Why didn't you move to France when you were still working? [69:16] Finding work in France is very difficult. Come as a retiree, or get your job to transfer you, or if you're a freelancer who can work from anywhere. [70:04] Even freelancers get health insurance in France, so if you can pull it off, it's great. And if you pay for medical care out of pocket in France, it's still crazy cheap compared to the prices in America. [71:08] When French people complain about our health care (which we do!) it's usually because some medicine has been taken off the list of reimbursed drugs due to the fact that enough studies have shown that it does nothing. Making Payments in France [72:50] Direct withdrawals in France, "prélèvements", the need to have a Relevé d'identité bancaire with you. Different ways to conduct transactions in France. [74:47] French administration is very picky and paperwork hungry. Set up your utilities bills in both names if you have a significant other! [76:39] Because French administrators are prickly, if you show up for your visa meeting without all of your documentation, they will make you come back two months later or whenever another appointment opens. [77:31] If you hate papers, France is not for you. But Claire thinks that living here is so nice, it's worth putting up with the red tape!

By 1804, Napoleon Bonaparte was already the head of government in France, and had been for five years. Yet he wanted to elevate his status in the nation, as being the First Consul for Life in the French Republic did not confer the power he sought. Napoleon rose to power by being the best general in the Revolutionary French Army, then helping out a coup in 1799 to overthrow the Diretcory, and the taking control of the three person French Consulate. Still, he took a larger step. First, a referendum was placed before the French people, asking if they wished to have Napoleon as Emperor of the French, a brand new office. His coronation ceremony showed both how much Napoleon was seeking to continue revolutionary ideals, while also emphasizing the traditional aspects of monarchy. He was crowned in Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris in the presence of Pope Pius VII; French Kings were traditionally crowned by the Archbishop of Reims in Reims Cathedral. Napoleon emphasized the role of religion and his fealty to the Catholic Church, but made a point to place his crown (a brand new creation he called "The Crown of Charlemagne") on his own head. Most importantly, Napoleon created a new office for himself that had all the trappings of traditional authority.

Why is it important to understand the rationale behind this collection?

An inspirational and heartbreaking story of David Gilkey, award-winning photojournalist, who sacrificed his life in the name of journalism. David was killed on June 5, 2016, while on assignment with NPR in Afghanistan. One of his closest friends, Rick McCartney, is here today to share his story. Rick describes David as “a truly authentic man. He was who he said he was. When he went into these war zones to take pictures, he did it with the idea that he needed to show the world what was happening”. Long before high school, David proved himself as having an eye for shooting a story. The friends then went on to Oregon State together, not knowing if they were even ready for college. After one year they parted ways but maintained their friendship. David went to Boulder and then to Detroit working for well-known publications, the Daily Camera and the Detroit Free Press. With that experience, he landed a job in Washington DC with National Public Radio. David Gilkey was one of the first photojournalists after 9/11, on the ground, covering the war, telling the story. Tragically, on June 5, 2016, assassins were allegedly tipped off. The Humvee he was riding in while embedded with the Afghan army was bombed. Rick first found out about his friend's death when he saw a strange photo of David on Facebook. Both David Gilkey and his translator were killed in the attack. For Rick, this was the first sudden death of someone close to him. He remembers David's visit just a month before and how extremely happy he was at the time. For the memorial service, Rick was asked to write a speech. While still upset and hurt with the loss of his friend. Rick said he found comfort through David's mother, who got up and spoke. She let everyone know that her son had died doing what he truly loved. He was always out for adventure. He was always going to go in harm's way. David Gilkey, award-winning journalist, never wanted it to be about him. After his death, Rick discovered more about his friend's incredible career and just how many awards he had won, but never spoke about. Not even his Edward R Murrell Award for Photojournalism, his Robert F Kennedy Award or his Emmy. Rick says David's story is important and he deserves to be remembered. But other men and women continue doing incredible journalism all over the world and they are still under attack while trying to tell the story. They are still in harm's way. David's legacy is about ensuring safety and security protocols for all journalists. To honor his friend, Rick is now an advocate. He explains that since David's death, he has researched the safety and security of our journalists. According to Rick, even in war, journalists now must depend on other outside security personnel, no longer our armed forces, for their safety. Rick believes journalists should be sent on assignment only when they know the full truth about their safety, through intelligence reporting, and only with security measures in place. Recently, Rick was asked to go to Washington DC by the French Consulate, on behalf of Reporters Without Borders, to show David's work, and to speak about reporter's safety and security. How would Rick like us to remember his childhood friend, David Gilkey? “Personally”, Rick says, “as an incredible friend, and for the public, as a very talented photojournalist who wants to tell the story – authentically”.
