Clare walks with Reverend Maggie McLean today on a stretch of the Camino de Santiago, the world famous pilgrimage route that concludes at Santiago de Compostela's glorious Cathedral in northern Spain. The Camino can be completed in numerous ways, with one of the most popular routes being the French Way otherwise known as the Francés. It begins in the French town of St. Jean Pied de Port and ends 790km/490miles later in Santiago. Maggie is trekking part of this route and Clare joins her at Triacastela to hear her story as they make their way to the Benedictine Monastery at Samos, which is about 150km from Santiago itself. Maggie is a lifelong keen walker, and was one of the first women to be ordained in the Church of England. She works as a Canon at York Minster, and would like to see some kind of pilgrimage established there, so her time on the Camino is not just a spiritual journey, it's also a way of conducting some research. On their walk she tells Clare about her life and journey in faith, including working in homeless centres, probation hostels and a seafarers' mission in Australia. En route Clare and Maggie bumped into Arthur, a pilgrim who has spent several weeks every year for seven years on the Camino, which he started by walking out of his front door in Switzerland. Despite suffering cancer three times, and having one quarter of a lung removed, he still carries a 10kg backpack and never plans where he's going to stay overnight.Presenter: Clare Balding Producer: Karen Gregor

Parentalité is a new show about raising kids in France, the French parenting style, and how to balance it while still holding on to our anglophone traditions.  The show is produced by both Message Paris , an association for English speaking parents and caregivers based in Paris and Île-de-France, and World Radio Paris.  This episode is all about HALLOWEEN! We talk about French traditions, the Invasion of American Halloween. We talk about the best spooky French movies. Adam Levy tells a scary ghost story set in the Tuileries Gardens of Paris, and we interview Trick or Treaters at Message Paris' annual Spooktackular event.  In the past 30 years or so, as more English speaking people settle in France, Late-20th-century Halloween traditions have invaded France and are changing the way the autumn season is typically enjoyed. The French traditionally celebrate All Saint's Day on November 1st after generally a two week school break- this holiday is known as “Toussaint," and is a somber observance during which many French families remember their loved ones who have passed on. Some families visit graves. It is a day to remember all saints, both known and unknown.  Our hosts are Meg Gerner, Rachelle Chapman, and ARBL Murray (Alex Brook Lynn)    Recommendations for a great Halloween in France: Music Playlist: "peur du noir:" An all-French mix for Halloween from Spiked Candy   Films for young kids: A Monster in Paris, Dilili in Paris Films for older teens: City of Lost Children, Delicatessen Films for Adults: Raw (Grave), Titane

In this insightful episode of "The French Way" podcast, host Karen Gombault interviews Kim Severson, a weight loss coach who helps clients achieve their goals without the misery of restrictive dieting. Kim, who worked in food, wine & hospitality for years, shares her personal journey from struggling with traditional diets to discovering a more sustainable and enjoyable approach to weight loss, which ultimately led her to become a coach. Her philosophy emphasizes reconnecting with the body's natural hunger signals and enjoying the foods you love in moderation, rather than adhering to strict, unsustainable diets. Together, Karen and Kim discuss the importance of balance, pleasure, and mindset shifts in achieving lasting weight loss and a healthier relationship with food. Key Takeaways: Ditch Restrictive Dieting: Kim advocates for abandoning traditional, restrictive diets that often lead to feelings of deprivation and failure, emphasizing that sustainable weight loss is possible without sacrificing the foods you love. Reconnect with Your Body: One of Kim's main tools is helping clients listen to their body's hunger signals, allowing them to eat when hungry and stop when satisfied, which reduces overeating. Enjoy Food Without Guilt: The concept of balance is central to Kim's approach, where enjoying a variety of foods, including indulgent ones, is key to maintaining a healthy lifestyle without feeling deprived. Mindset Shifts Are Crucial: Overcoming the all-or-nothing mindset that many dieters struggle with is essential. Kim encourages clients to see food choices as just that—choices—rather than labeling them as "good" or "bad." Sustainable Weight Loss is Achievable: Both Karen and Kim stress that long-term weight loss doesn't have to suck! By finding pleasure in food and avoiding extreme restrictions, it's possible to lose weight in a way that feels natural and sustainable. Empowerment Through Choice: A significant part of Kim's coaching is helping clients feel empowered by their food choices, which leads to more mindful eating and less stress around dieting. Kim Severson leaves us with a powerful reflection: *"Is there anything I'm willing to do for weight loss today?"* This question encompasses her approach to weight loss, focusing on daily, sustainable actions that bring you closer to your goals without the stress and struggle of traditional diets. Kim's method offers a refreshing alternative to restrictive dieting, making long-term weight loss both achievable and enjoyable.

In this episode, I discuss the concept of "life focus," drawing inspiration from French culture. It's crucial to shift focus away from obsessive thoughts about weight and food, as constant preoccupation with weight and diet can hinder weight loss or health goals. I explore three ways to become more life-focused: Learning: French people prioritize continuous learning, whether through reading diverse materials, watching documentaries, or visiting museums and exhibits. Experiencing: This involves embracing travel, taking guided tours, attending cooking classes, and enjoying tastings or live shows. Connecting: Additionally, fostering connections with others through meaningful conversations and shared experiences contributes to a fulfilling life. To shift towards a life-focused mindset, the episode outlines practical steps such as identifying topics for further learning, planning new experiences, and reconnecting with friends and family. Embracing the French approach to life focus not only enhances overall well-being but also helps with sustainable weight loss as a natural byproduct of a more balanced and fulfilling lifestyle.Want more insight into the French Way of Life regarding health & wellness?

Recently I spent the weekend away on the French coast with new friends. The weekend could have been about social anxiety and people pleasing, which would have led to overeating and / or overdrinking. The weekend was not about that at all. Instead, the weekend was about connection, great discussion, fun, time in nature, games and food, of course! (we are in France!). This episode illustrates my before and after story when it comes to food freedom. Want more insight into the French Way of Life regarding health & wellness?

Uncle Brad discovered a drink while skiing in the French Alps, Vert Chaud (or Hot Green) and Cocolat au Rhum (Chocolate with Rum). It turns out, Chocolate and Chartreuse were meant to be together, and they never knew it. And so is chocolate and rum BTW. We understand that Chartreuse is in short supply, but if you stick around for the tips we'll give you alternatives that can get you close. The history on this one is anyone's guess, but Uncle Brad has a theory that he'll unfold in the history section. This is going to be your new favorite warm up beverage after a cold day outside. Trust and believe! Vert Chaud In a 10oz mug add 2oz Green Chartreuse* 6oz of creamy hot chocolate (recipe below) (stir) Layer 2oz of wet whipped cream by pouring the whipped cream over spoon into your drink Garnish with dusting of cocoa powders *IF YOU DON'T HAVE Chartreuse, you can use rum. In this case I used a split base of 1oz. Demerara 151 (any dark overproof will do) and an aged Martinique Rhum Agricole. But you can play with any aged rums. I chose the aforementioned because I wanted something French, and something strong to recreate the spirit forward taste of Chartreuse.  Hot Chocolate Recipe 3.5 cups whole milk 0.5 cups heavy cream Go to the baking aisle to find the next 4oz bittersweet chocolate (you can use a bar or chips, which are less work) 4oz semisweet chocolate (you can use a bar or chips, which are less work) 2 Tbsp dutch processed cocoa powder (yes, that's really a thing) 2 Tsp cornstarch 1 Tsp vanilla extract 1 Tbsp Sugar (optional, it's great without it) In sauce pan add Milk, cream, cornstarch, vanilla, cocoa powder and mix over medium low heat Whist constantly so no lumps and skin doesn't form on top of the milk When bubbles form on sides and the mixture is starting to steam, remove from heat Add bittersweet and semisweet chips to the pan and stir until fully melted Add sugar if you feel you'd like it sweeter and mix until dissolved Pour into heat safe container so you can easily pour into your mug. Store extra in fridge and reheat gently. Prospector In mixing glass add: 1.5 oz Cognac 0.5 oz white creme de cacao 0.5 oz Green Chartreuse 0.5 oz Cointreau Stir until chilled (about 20 - 30 seconds) Strain over ice in rocks glass.  Garnish with twist of lemon (extra points for expressing the oils over the drink) TIP: Alternatives to Chartreuse The Art of Drinking IG: @theartofdrinkingpodcast  Jules IG: @join_jules TikTok: @join_jules  Website: joinjules.com Brad  IG: @favorite_uncle_brad This is a Redd Rock Music Podcast IG: @reddrockmusic www.reddrockmusic.com Learn more about your ad choices.

The French crime film is different from those of other countries for several reasons.  While some, certainly Jean Dellanoy's Soleil Des Voyeux (aka Action Man) draw elements from the German Krimi and the George Nader Jerry Cotton films and even the serial (particularly those of Feuillade, whose Fantomas and Les Vampires remain surprisingly gripping and modern in feel and approach), the overarching vibe is less that of contemporaneous American crime films or Italian poliziotteschi than it is, as you might expect from the nation that coined the term, the American film noir and gangster pictures of the late 30s and 1940s. And as with the idiosyncratic and often groundbreaking critics turned directors of the Nouvelle Vague, the French crime film less pays strict homage to than integrates the driving elements and visual aesthetic of American noir in a more contemporary sense, improving and updating them to something more suited and appealing to a modern audience: think much venerated names like Jean Pierre Melville, Rene Clement, Georges Lautner, Jean Paul Belmondo and Alain Delon.

St Jean Pied de Port, France is the traditional starting point for people walking the Camino Frances, or the French Way of the Camino de Santiago. This is a medieval village with a ton of history and a rich food and hiking culture. Come travel with us as we talk all things Camino Frances, and Basque food. Come with us on our first European Episode. 

Have you heard of the Camino de Santiago? It's a popular pilgrimage through the north of Spain and my dad just finished his trek. He took the “French Way,” which is roughly the same length as the journey across the state of Wisconsin. Now that you have that perspective, does that make it more or less cool? For me, it's tough to say, but I can confirm that I would not want to spend 45 days walking across the great badger state. Anyway, my dad's been home for a little over a month now and we're taking to the pod to recap his journey and chit-chat about what's on the horizon, join in!P.S. Don't mention the “R” word (retirement) if you know what's good for you.Get silly with us on social:FOLLOW THE PODCASTInstagram: @pessimisticatbestFacebook: @pessimisticatbestWebsite: pessimisticatbest.comFOLLOW SAMANTHAInstagram: @samgeorgsonTikTok: @samgeorgsonTwitter: @samgeorgsonYouTube: @samgeorgsonWebsite: samanthageorgson.comCLICK HERE TO READ THE BLOGClick here to read more about Jeff's journey through SpainSupport the show

In this extended episode of Curiously Catholic, Dom talks with Helen Armstrong about her transformative experience on the Camino de Santiago, complete with a Q+A from you, the listeners! ---“When we allow him to break open our hearts, that's when true healing begins.”---Helen shares how the Camino provided her with the space to let go and strive to be more of who God is calling her to be. She shares her experiences with how many of us relate to "demanding" or instructing God on how we want our lives to look.From solitude to socialisation; From joys to suffering; Helen describes many of the lessons learned from this life-changing pilgrimage. The Camino de Santiago, also known as the Way of St. James, is a large network of ancient pilgrim routes stretching across Europe and coming together at the tomb of St. James. One of the most popular routes -  The Camino Frances or French Way -  spans just over 800km and takes approx 4-5 weeks to complete. ---"Sometimes the only way the good Lord can get into some hearts is to break them.” - Fulton J. Sheen--------------------'Curiously Catholic' is an Evangelion production and is one of the many things the apostolate is doing to share the truth of the Gospel with the love of Christ.

Lexman takes a deep dive into the interesting linguistic phenomenon of Italianization, where words and grammatical structures from one language are absorbed and adopted into another. In this episode, he chats with Chris Duffin, a linguist at McGill University, about the arborescence of Latin nouns into French branches, and how this process can create new combinations and meanings.

We all know French women's style is Tres Chic but what are the style rules they follow to achieve this? I'm joined by real-life "Emily in Paris' founder of gorgeous French brand Aurelie. This is an inspiring chat about how the brand was born during a worldwide pandemic, plus how French women dress in their own way and how they get it so right.    We are bombarded with trends in the UK and I'm pretty sure America is similar. It means we have so much choice to trawl through it becomes overwhelming. French women have a completely different approach.  I'm a champion of independent labels and so finding a new brand like Aurelie is exciting! If you feel the same and love new ideas for your wardrobe then delve in to this episode! On this new season of 'The Style Stories' podcast I'm enjoying sharing stories about lockdown success'. Small brands that have sprung out of the Pandemic like a Phoenix from the Fire and the Auriele story is one of those success stories. Enjoy! GET 15% DISCOUNT FROM AURELIE! USE CODE LISAGILLBE15.

So many of us have a hard time saying "no" because we like to please and even fear disappointing others.  Having bold boundaries is essential to our very own joy!  However, the French are great at saying "non" and there are many ways regarding how to gracefully say no, with ease.  I share how to do this because I was very inspired by how easily the French were able to say "non" with grace.  Please SUBSCRIBE so you are notified every time a new episode is released each Thursday!

"He who comes home with the most money doesn't win. He who comes home with the most experiences wins." - Steve Smith, contributor with Rick Steves in Rick Steves France 2015 The Simple Sophisticate, episode #23 One of the most exquisite pleasures in my experience has always been having time at home without a to-do list. To enjoy my sanctuary that comforts me, rejuvenates me and allows me to dream so that when I do step outside into the world I can do, seek and produce, is one of the things I most treasure about living simply luxuriously. And so it began when I was a child, no doubt, as my mother always cultivated a warm home, but as I grew up and became responsible for establishing my own abode, it took much exploration, dead-ins from time to time and investment to create a space that allowed the everyday to be just as stimulating as new experiences brought about by travel. And in so doing, paying attention to my home environment, I began to pay attention to how I spend my days. Was I exhausted and unfilled at the end or exhausted and feeling productive? Did I have time in my day to spend it with those I loved, converse with those who engaged in creative, uplifting and thought-provoking conversation or care for myself in such a way that respected my overall health? And depending upon my answer, I would tweak, eliminate, maximize or designate more or less time to those activities that improved the quality of living. "He has achieved success who has lived well, laughed often and loved much." -Bessie A. Stanley As the quote reminds us, living well is truly about prioritizing how we spend our days. Did we make time to enjoy the day, spend it with those we hold dear, take time to respect what our minds and bodies need or did we cram everything into our waking hours in order to fit a mold that we weren't asked for input regarding its creation? Everyone's path to living well will be different, but the key is to know what you want - more loosely rather than specifically. Because as we know, our lives intermingle with the rest of the world, but if we bring our best selves, have good intentions and are willing to be true selves, success is possible when it comes to living well. Recently, I was watching the travel guru Rick Steves discuss on PBS his explorations through the countryside of France. While staying at Chateau de Pray and dining on their outdoor terrace, his dining companion shared the quote listed at the beginning of today's post. And I couldn't agree more especially when it comes to travel, but why not bring a similar way of living into our everyday? Why not . . . live well each and every day? Why not use the nice china in the middle of the week? Why not treat ourselves regularly to dinner or lunch with a dear friend at a restaurant that piques our interest or tantalizes our taste buds? Why not sleep on silk pillowcases each night? Many may quickly scoff at such ideas as being too indulgent, thus deflating the exhilaration that is felt when they are only experiences from time to time, but what I hope to bring to your attention today is that with patience and careful planning, everyday life can indeed be lived luxuriously and can actually enhance the quality of our lives. Below are 20 ways to foster a simply luxurious way of living, but these are just a taste. If you would like the full list inspired by the French way of living, check out chapter 10 "Indulging Your Inner Francophile" in Choosing The Simply Luxurious Life: A Modern Woman's Guide. 1. Cook at home. Find simple, yet delicious recipes and discover the pleasures of cooking on your own schedule for your own dietary needs and preferences. (View TSLL recipes here.) 2. Indulge in café time. Once, twice or three times a week depending up on your schedule and enjoyment, select a favorite local café and stop in for some reading time, moseying through magazine time, or chats with friends. Indulge in one of the patisseries delicious sweet treats and lose track of time. ~Les Deux Garcons cafe in Aix-en-Provence, cours Mirabeau~ 3. Wear luxurious lingerie everyday. As I talk about in my book, lingerie is a necessity for the woman who wears it, not for those who might see her in it. Why? Because simply knowing we are wearing beautiful, comfortable, luxurious lingerie feels good. And everything begins with our thoughts. If we feel good, we smile more readily, we are more open to new experiences and our attitude is lifted. 4. Let go of busy. A powerful decision that will change your day-to-day living drastically for the better. Busy doesn't mean better or more productive, it simply reveals a life that perhaps could be managed better. After all, living well means living a life of quality. A life that focuses on what is necessary and lets go of the rest. And when you let go of busy, you have more time for moments of simple leisure and luxury that cultivate an everyday life to savor. (Click here to dive into this topic.) 5. Cultivate a capsule wardrobe for each season. Knowing you have in your closet clothes that will make you look and feel your best is a very powerful tool to possess as you begin your day. While this takes time and never really ends due to lives and bodies changing, it is worth our attention. (Click here to learn more about building a capsule wardrobe.) 6. Follow your own schedule. Perhaps it's Friday or even Saturday night, everyone must be out doing something, staying up late, right? Wrong. Your daily schedule is one that works for you and those you spend your time with. Perhaps you prefer Wednesday evenings out because Thursdays are lighter days at work and you enjoy spending your weekends waking up early and getting things done. Whatever schedule works for your goals, intentions, health, family, etc - adhere to it and don't apologize. After all, our lives, needs and desires change, listen to what is nudging you, calling your name and that is where you will find the unexpected beauty. 7. Discover a personal scent. Similar to knowing you are wearing luxurious lingerie is the choice of scent you layer upon your skin before stepping out the door for work or for play. A luxurious decision and investment, but one that will reveal your attention to detail. 8. Subscribe to daily/weekly/monthly periodicals. Running throughout the philosophy of living simply luxuriously is being well-read. Depending upon your lifestyle, curiosities, locale and interests, you will select reading material that interests you. Most importantly, gather knowledge, choose to learn something new each day, read a review of a new play or restaurant and be encouraged to give it a try. Become in the know of current events in order to strike up a conversation with anyone. Reading in truth, is a way of tickling your brain and refusing to live each day the same even if the events may be routine. 9. Save time and don't wash your hair everyday. Purchase a dry shampoo and have on hand for the days you don't lather up. Shampoo less often, thereby saving yourself more time in the morning, and believe it or not, improve the condition of your tresses. (Klorane Gentle Dry Shampoo with Oat Milk) 10. Invest in quality skincare products. In episode #13 of the podcast, specifics are shared on how to create glowing skin, and by investing in quality skincare products, your most beautiful skin will shine. The power of prevention is real, and while it takes time and a bit of investment, the pay-offs are tremendous. 11. Design a workout regimen to look forward to. Whether you enjoy exercising outdoors in Mother Nature or attending classes lead by instructors that inspire you and classmates that boost your mood, explore your interests and community to see what is available and what captures your needs and proclivities. Most people after having exercise will tell you that they feel better, energized and less stress, and if you can bring that into your everyday life, everything will be affected in a very positive way. (Revolver Yoga Studio, Walla Walla) 12. Find time to treasure hunt. Even if you are not necessarily going to buy, poke around in local consignment shops, yard sales, second-hand shops, antique boutiques and even boutiques that catch your eye. If nothing else, you will walk away with ideas on how to design, style and mix and match what you already have. 13. Be sincere, yet kind. While everyone has days that you are simply grumpy for any list of reasons, taking it out on others is something you will most likely regret. And even if you have to deliver news that isn't favorable, there is always a way to do so with kindness. Being conscious of how we treat people and our delivery will almost always be appreciated, and even if it is taken for granted, at least we can go home at night and feel good about the energy we put out into the world. 14. Shop at local vendors and boutiques. Perhaps you live in a town that you hand-selected for the community it offers, but what if you didn't? Either way, supporting local vendors when it comes to food or local boutiques when it comes to shopping for gifts, necessities and products not only builds good-will, but strengthens the economy of the local community. And additionally, when it comes to buying food locally, you benefit your overall health as most foods are free from pesticides and hold more nutritional value that your body craves. 15. Eat real food. Full of flavor that will satiate, real food is a choice your body will thank you for. Processed food may be more convenient and help you reduce the shopping trips to the grocery store, but in the long term, it is a bad investment. Returning home after a long day knowing the food you will be incorporating into your meal will be satisfying and nutritious will remove guilt and properly fuel your body for whatever it may be asked to do next. 16. Elevate the conversation. Easier said than done when we are exhausted, stressed and frustrated, but when you do your best to refrain from complaining and gossiping, you are less likely to go home in the evening regretting or feeling guilty about partaking. In fact, when conversations are full of curious information - books, local events, news, etc - you can walk away inspired, motivated and eager to do something new. Why not bring such a conversation to those in your world? 17. Create an evening routine to look forward to. At the end of the day, your body and mind may be entirely taxed which is why making time (even 15 minutes) for unwinding with a favorite pastime is crucial. Being able to look forward to this simple routine can be the silver lining no matter what your day has unearthed. 18. Schedule regular spa appointments for beauty and health maintenance. Much like exercise, caring for our bodies is a means to caring for our health, overall beauty and mind. So be sure to schedule your facial, massage, hair cut/color, waxing and any other must-dos before you walk out the door from your last appointment. They can often be the respite in a busy week and will no doubt leave you feeling rejuvenated. 19. Stock a bar cart for spur-of-the-moment entertaining. Whether you drink alcoholic beverages or not, stock a bar cart that has drinks and nibbles at the ready for last-minute guests. Even for one or two guests, having a bar with wine, beer or if it's morning - croissants and hot tea keeps the food with the conversation in the living room or sitting room. Luxurious and ready for any everyday occasion. (A glimpse of my 20. Fill your home with inspired music. For techies or retro audiophiles, have your turntable or playlists ready for any occasion. From leisurely jazz tunes when you return from work and wish to read the daily news to beautiful Bach in the morning as you get ready for work, set up your music station, turn off the television and forget about time, even if for a moment. Whatever inspires you in your travels or remains memorable to you from your past, why not bring it into your everyday life if at all possible? Cultivate an everyday life that perhaps no one would believe is possible, but rest assured it is. After all, as Annie Dillard reminds us, how we spend our days is how we spend our lives. Why not spend your life living well each and everyday? ~SIMILAR POSTS FROM THE ARCHIVES YOU MIGHT ENJOY: ~Episode #32: The Francophile's Style Guide: The 14 Essentials ~10 Gifts of Mastering the French Mystique ~Why Not . . .

Author John Brierley talks to us about the relationship of nature on modern-day pilgrimages in this Camino Talks episode. John Brierley started his Camino journey in 1989 when he gave up his day job to travel, and walked the Camino de Santiago. He has walked the famous pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela on foot many times and has since written several best selling guide books about the different Camino de Santiago routes. These guides focus on the French Way, The Portuguese Way, The English Way, and the Camino Finisterre. His guide books are not just instructions for walking the trails, but also an excellent companion to your mental and spiritual journey on the Camino. In this podcast: - It is summer, the flowers are blooming this makes us think about nature and the Camino de Santiago. What does the theme of nature and pilgrimage bring to you? - What do you think would be the proportion of unspoiled nature compared to more farmland, which I think it's maybe a bit more of a majority. - How would you weigh the natural value of the various routes of the Camino with national parks, that people may have discovered at the weekends and so on? - What would be a great memory you had with fauna or flora on the Camino? Is there an image or picture, a moment that you can share with us? Q&A section: - Considering your experience in the Camino, what do you think makes the Camino different from other trips or vacations? - Is the Camino safe to go now due to the COVID-19? - What's the best location from which you recommend I should start the Camino?
