We all know that the current state of Ligue 1 doesn't exactly provide the foundations for a title race which goes down to the wire. This year, it very nearly did though. Lens have been excellent, capitalising on the major underperformances we've seen from Marseille and Monaco, but do they stand any chance of challenging the Parisians in the years to come?Jonathan Johnson joins Dotun and Andy to debate that. Plus, Florentino Pérez goes on a ridiculous rant as he prepares to appoint José Mourinho as his next Head Coach at Real Madrid, and there are some big teams circling the drain in Spain and Germany.

It's been one year since Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez moved to Paris to take on the role of creative director at the craft-focused brand Loewe, and the duo is still adjusting to their new life in the City of Lights. “I'd hardly call us Parisians,” McCollough said. “We've got a lot of work to do with our French.”Linguistic obstacles aside, the pair has already made a big impression with their first two collections, which Hernandez sums up as “taking those codes of American sportswear—like the T-shirt, the jean, the bomber jacket—and then putting them through the filter of high craft, specifically leathercraft.” They've swiftly established principles for their tenure: poppy colors, trompe l'oeil fabric innovations, and sleek silhouettes that marry their American point of view to Loewe's technical capabilities. McCollough and Hernandez made their names two decades ago with their line Proenza Schouler, which helped shape the downtown cool-girl uniform of the era: casual yet elevated, arty without being pretentious. They were very much a part of the fabric of New York's fashion scene, so it was something of a shock when it was announced that they would decamp to Paris for this new adventure. Still, they've taken the challenge head-on, adding a jolt of American ease and fun to the brand. The pair discuss the Loewe Craft Prize, now in its 10th year. The program, run through Loewe's non-profit arm, seeks to elevate craftspeople from various disciplines and has been an eye-opening initiative for the pair to take part in.“It's just so nice to be working at a company that celebrates this kind of thing,” Hernandez said. “I think it's quite rare these days. So it's been very fulfilling.”The Run-Through with Vogue is your go-to podcast where fashion meets culture. Hosted by Chloe Malle, Head of Editorial Content, Vogue U.S.; Chioma Nnadi, Head of British Vogue; and Nicole Phelps, Director of Vogue Runway, each episode features the latest fashion news and exclusive designer and celebrity interviews.

Modern Paris is often hailed as a capital of urban infrastructure. Baron Georges-Eugène Haussmann's rebuilding of Paris in 1853–1870, branded “Haussmannization,” helped define urban modernity for cities worldwide. But even as infrastructures expanded and modernized, some Parisians were left behind: as late as 1928, 18 percent of houses still lacked direct sewerage. Haussmannization often hid infrastructures behind walls and floors, under streets, or in peripheral districts. In the forty years after 1870, a period that Dr. Peter Soppelsa calls “secondary Haussmannization,” Parisians inverted them—revealed their hidden components to scrutinize their workings and costs for society, environment, and health—and in turn politicized them. Drawing on French government archives, engineers' maps, the illustrated press, and a collection of over 100 photographic postcards, in Paris After Haussmann: Living with Infrastructure in the City of Light, 1870–1914 (U Pittsburgh Press, 2026) Dr. Soppelsa charts the diverse embodied, emotional, and everyday experiences of living with expanding urban infrastructures—streets, housing, tramways, subways, the water supply, sewers, and rivers—in Paris from 1870 to 1914. Parisians learned that infrastructures were not simply technical solutions for the social and environmental problems of city life but could also bring about new dangers and dependencies. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Rungis: Inside the World's Largest Food MarketSeven kilometres south of Paris, larger than the entire Principality of Monaco, there is a place that most visitors to the city will never see. It opens at three in the morning. It employs 13,000 people every single day. It supplies food to 18 million people across the Île-de-France. And it quietly underpins every extraordinary meal you have ever eaten in France. This is Rungis — the world's largest wholesale food market — and in this episode of Fabulously Delicious, we're going inside.But to understand Rungis, you first have to understand what came before it. For nearly a thousand years, the beating heart of Paris's food supply was Les Halles — the sprawling, magnificent market in the centre of the city that Émile Zola called le ventre de Paris, the belly of Paris. We're telling the full story of that market, its iconic Baltard pavilions, the last extraordinary night when Parisians gathered to say goodbye with flowers and brass bands and farandoles around vegetable crates — and then the move of the century itself. Over one weekend in February 1969, 1,000 wholesale companies, 20,000 people and 5,000 tonnes of goods made the journey south in 1,500 trucks. A former general managed the logistics. US President Nixon was visiting Paris the same weekend. And according to a legend nobody has ever quite disproved — some of the rats that had called Les Halles home for generations climbed aboard the removal trucks and made the journey too.Today Rungis is the engine room of French gastronomy. We're walking the entire site — the vast fruit and vegetable sector, the meat pavilions, the seafood hall with its nightly veterinary checks, the dairy and gastronomy sector, the organic pavilion, and the extraordinary flower market that most people never know exists. We're talking about who actually shops here, how to visit, the restaurants that serve steak frites at four in the morning, the onion soup tradition that survived the journey from Les Halles and never left, and the direct line between this market operating through the night and the quality of food on Parisian plates the following day.Send us Fan MailSupport the showMy book Paris: A Fabulous Food Guide to the World's Most Delicious City is your ultimate companion.

The French media were insistent that Paris Saint-Germain came into their game against Chelsea as underdogs. Well, they certainly proved those critics wrong. A display of incredible resilience has put the Parisians firmly in the driving seat ahead of their return leg at Stamford Bridge.

Paris Saint-Germain has just pulled off what many are calling the "heist of the window." By poaching La Masia's crown jewel, Dro Fernández, for a mere €6 million, the Parisians have signaled a fascinating shift from "prestige to potential."In today's episode, we dissect the arrival of the 18-year-old Spanish-Filipino wonderkid who has left Barcelona "speechless." We break down the "tactical kaleidoscope" of his game—from his 15 goals and 8 assists for Barcelona Atlètic to his preternatural composure on the Champions League stage. Is this the start of a savvy new chapter for PSG under Luis Enrique? We explore how Fernández's chameleon-like ability to play as a False 9 or a deft winger makes him the perfect understudy for the world's elite.

Send a textThe Cerise de Montmorency — A Very French CherryIn this episode of Fabulously Delicious, we're diving into the story of one of France's most iconic fruits: the Cerise de Montmorency, a bright, tangy sour cherry with centuries of history behind it. From its first written descriptions in the 17th century to its status as a prized delicacy for Parisian nobility, this small fruit has played a surprisingly big role in French food culture.We explore the cherry's deep roots in the town of Montmorency, just north of Paris, where it became a local treasure and a seasonal obsession. You'll hear how thousands of baskets of cherries once traveled daily from the Montmorency valley to Paris, why Parisians rented cherry trees by the hour in the 19th century, and how the famous “gaudrioles” became part of everyday life and leisure.The episode also follows the Montmorency cherry's journey beyond France, tracing how it spread to North America and became the most widely grown sour cherry in the United States and Canada. We look at modern production, culinary uses, and how this tart cherry continues to thrive in pies, preserves, juices, kirsch, and both traditional and contemporary French cooking — even as cultivation in France has become more limited.Finally, we turn to the present and the future, including the 2023 publication of the cherry's fully sequenced genome and what that means for growers, researchers, and flavor lovers alike. It's a story of agriculture, gastronomy, and heritage — all wrapped up in one vividly red, unapologetically tart, and very French cherry.Support the showMy book Paris: A Fabulous Food Guide to the World's Most Delicious City is your ultimate companion.

Send us a textVoices of the Market: Les Cris de ParisVoices of the Market: Les Cris de Paris takes listeners back to the bustling streets of medieval and Renaissance Paris, where markets weren't just places to shop — they were stages filled with sound, rhythm, and theatrical flair. Long before advertising, signage, or social media, street vendors relied on their voices, crafting memorable cries to attract customers and sell everything from food to household goods.In this episode, we explore the origins of the Cris de Paris — the shouted calls of market sellers, travelling tradespeople, and street merchants — and how these cries evolved from simple sales pitches into a distinctive form of urban poetry and performance. You'll discover how these chants shaped daily life, reflected what Parisians ate, and became part of the living soundtrack of the city.We'll also uncover how the cries were preserved through history, from illustrated engravings and literature to music by composer Clément Janequin, whose famous Cris de Paris transformed street calls into choral art. Along the way, we visit historic Parisian landmarks like Les Halles — once known as the “belly of Paris” — to understand where these voices rang out loudest and why they eventually faded.Finally, we dive into some of the most fascinating food-related cries themselves — from coconut drinks and roasted chestnuts to oranges, oublies, tinware, and root vegetables — revealing how vendors turned everyday commerce into creativity, charm, and spectacle. Voices of the Market: Les Cris de Paris is a sensory journey into the sounds, flavors, and stories of a Paris that once sang through its streets.Support the showMy book Paris: A Fabulous Food Guide to the World's Most Delicious City is your ultimate companion.

In this edition of French Connections, Genie Godula and Florence Villeminot continue their tour of Paris with a stop in the French capital's most populated arrondissement: the 15th. Located in the southwestern corner of the capital, the 15th doesn't boast a lot of tourist attractions. In fact, Parisians love to joke that this residential and family-friendly arrondissement is the capital's most boring. But while it might not be as exciting or flashy as other parts of town, it's a great place to get a taste of real, everyday Paris and discover some hidden gems. We take you on a tour.

THE RISE OF THE PARIS COMMUNE FOLLOWING THE SIEGE Colleague Sebastian Smee. By March 1871, following a winter of starvation where Parisians ate rats and zoo animals, the city's radical Republicans revolted against the provisional government. The radicals, frustrated by the government's failure to break the Prussian siege and the subsequent humiliating surrender terms, seized cannons and established the Commune. This new government aimed for localized, democratic control but was viewed by the national government, now retreated to Versailles under Adolphe Thiers, as an insurrection. The Commune was libertarian and progressive but faced immediate isolation. Having survived the Prussian siege, the Communards now found themselves besieged by French government forces, setting the stage for a brutal civil conflict where the "brother fought brother" narrative of the 19th century would reach a violent climax. NUMBER 4 1890

It hasn't been a Good Week for the climate since, er, 1820-something? And it wasn't last week, either. But it is a good week for The Europeans, because we're joined by Luisa Neubauer, one of Germany's best-known climate activists. Luisa recently wrote a terrific piece for The Economist about Europe's climate “vibe shift”. We got her insights on what has caused the greenlash and what we ought to be doing about it. It's a thoughtful, self-reflective, heartening conversation we think you'll enjoy.    We're also talking about Brussels' proposed “military Schengen” agreement, which would allow EU member states to move troops and equipment across borders relatively swiftly. (You don't want to know how sluggish things are now.) And we're taking a look at Slovenia's troubling new “Šutar Law”, a security bill that is widely understood to target the Roma minority.   In other news… The Europeans are launching a newsletter! If you want to hear more about what happened in Europe over the past week and find out what we left on the podcast-cutting-room floor, subscribe to GOOD WEEK BAD WEEK over on Substack. New issues hit inboxes on Friday mornings.   And someone else has a new newsletter, too. Our very own Katy Lee has just published the first issue of Millefeuille, an English-language newsletter “for Parisians who are bad at local news”. If you fall in the middle of the Europeans podcast–Francophile Venn diagram, subscribe here.   This week's Inspiration Station recommendations are two newly resurfaced works by Johann Sebastian Bach (here and here) and Carlo Rovelli's book about the physics of time, The Order of Time.  And if you, too, are in the market for a novella to help you knock out your 2025 reading goals, Dominic likes Claire Keegan's Small Things Like These.    Other resources for this episode:   “The surreal 45-day trek at the heart of Nato's defence” - Financial Times, 17 November, 2025  “Commission moves towards ‘Military Schengen' and transformation of defence industry” - European Commission press release, 19 November, 2025  “Why you probably should not re-gauge railways in Europe” - Jon Worth, 30 September, 2025 “Slovenia's ‘Šutar Law' Sets a Dangerous Precedent for Europe” - Roma Foundation for Europe, 18 November, 2025 “Romani Activists Fear Collective Punishment & Discrimination as Slovenia Passes New Security Bill" - European Roma Rights Centre, 7 November, 2025   This podcast was brought to you in cooperation with Euranet Plus, the leading radio network for EU news.

SOL LUCKMANIt's hardly surprising that one of the most iconic and bestselling musician biographies of all time, and the first (of a veritable “Spanish Caravan”) written about the Doors front man Jim Morrison, was titled NO ONE HERE GETS OUT ALIVE.The lyric is a line from “Five to One,” a perennial fan favorite penned by Morrison but credited officially to the Doors—and it has stuck in my mind (as it has in countless others over more than half a century since its 1968 release) like a splinter, to reference the movie THE MATRIX that also figures prominently in this book.When I was living in Paris in the early 1990s, I became obsessed with Morrison, and not just his music but his often macabre poetry as well. This was shortly after the release of Oliver Stone's uber provocative rock biopic that put to shame all other rock biopics, THE DOORS.As a birthday present, my girlfriend gave me a bilingual copy of THE LORDS & THE NEW CREATURES, Morrison's first volume of poetry replete with dark meditations on sex, celebrity, drugs, and (of course) death.While riding the Metro, sitting on the steps of Montmartre and sipping espresso at cafés, I found myself reading it alternately in English and the French translation to capture more and more nuances of Morrison's cryptic, multilayered thought.Jim had died in Paris and was buried in the city's famously lovely necropolis, Père Lachaise Cemetery. His grave—which once featured a stone bust with his big hippy hair made by a Croatian sculptor and stolen in 1988—was, and still is, a literal shrine to many tourists, fans and hipster locals making rock ‘n' roll pilgrimages from near and far.Practically as controversial in death as in life, ever since his untimely demise in 1971 that rocked the rock world, Morrison has lingered in a sort of public half-life.Simultaneously, he has been an inspiration for counterculture and music lovers; a nuisance for Parisians fed up with the incessant drinking, smoking and carousing that have turned his grave into an eternal party; and a would-be prodigal son to his home country, where a Florida politician bizarrely (and unsuccessfully) sought to have Jim's final resting place relocated to his birthplace, the Space Coast!My girlfriend—call her Kate—and I regularly visited Morrison's final resting place, and often partook in the festivities, which I must admit were exemplary displays of Dionysian behavior … if inevitably a regretted hangover source.Filled with more cemeteries, church crypts and bone-lined Catacombs than you could shake a Gauloise at, Paris invited an ongoing meditation on the afterlife. Like HARRY POTTER's Myrtle without the moaning, I regularly found myself contemplating the seeming inevitability of death.And then one overcast Parisian winter afternoon half a decade later, when I was back in town visiting a new girlfriend, while standing in front of Morrison's grave strewn with flowers and cigarette butts yet again as if no time had elapsed and nothing had changed, the doors of my perception (hat tip to William Blake and Aldous Huxley) suddenly burst wide open when a still small voice inside me asked this simply disarming question:“Does no one here get out alive?”Copyright © Sol Luckman.

Wow, Thanksgiving hits LinkedIn hard in the US: “I'm grateful for my boss” ; “I'm grateful for my dog” ; “I'm grateful for my favorite stapler.” I'm from Paris, and gratitude isn't something I grew up with. Parisians are so grumpy, we'd probably roll our eyes if you smiled at us. We save our gratitude for true miracles, like getting through a family dinner without someone bringing up immigration while carving the turkey. See, in France, we don't just say 'merci'. No, we write books about it. There's this French anthropologist, Marcel Mauss, who explains that kindness isn't really kindness: it's a debt. It's what he called the 'counter-gift'. You don't do someone a favor, you open a tab. You think you're just borrowing some sugar to your neighbor, and next thing you know you're hosting their dog's birthday, watering their plants, and pretending to care about their homemade kombucha. Japanese agree that not every “thank you” moment is pleasant. They actually invented a phrase for when gratitude feels like emotional spam: 'arigata meiwaku'. It's that uncomfortable vibe when somebody insists on “helping” and you end up having to perform gratitude you didn't sign up for. It's like being forced into a gratitude hostage situation. But hey, tossing a sincere "thank you" is free, it doesn't add calories, and sometimes it actually pleases people. So go on, throw some thank-yous out there when you really mean it. Just remember: real gratitude doesn't need a TED Talk or a LinkedIn post. Sometimes it's just a nod, a laugh, and moving on before things get weird. And if your “gratitude” ends up sounding more like sarcasm? That's fine too. At least in Paris, they'll respect you for it.

The Bataclan music venue has become synonymous with the Paris terror attacks of November 2015, when 130 people were killed, 90 of them while attending an Eagles of Death Metal concert at the Bataclan. Photographer Marion Ruszniewski was on assignment at the venue and was injured in the attack. Ten years on, she tells us about the events of that tragic evening, as well as her feelings about returning to work at the Bataclan a year later. Plus, as Marion publishes a book detailing two decades of concert photography, we discuss the resilient spirit that saw Parisians return to the bars, cafés and concert halls in the aftermath of the tragedy. 

What if you could spend eternity next to your favorite celebrity? Paris is making headlines with its morbidly fascinating “Death Lottery,” letting citizens pay to be buried next to famous figures like Jim Morrison and Oscar Wilde complete with tomb restoration and a chance at posthumous celebrity status. Could this quirky concept come to the U.S.? We explore the bizarre details, the costs, and why Parisians are both thrilled and creeped out. Tune in for Nina’s trending stories on The Jubal Show!

Giles is still sleeping apart from Esther because of his snoring. But he is not fully reconciled to the new arrangement. The subject hit a nerve as many listeners have been in touch with ideas to improve the situation – from wired jaws, wedge pillows or intriguingly a trip to Newcastle. After Giles composes himself, he considers a few of the options. In more upbeat new Parisians are being offered the chance to win a burial spot next to the likes of Oscar Wilde, Jim Morrison or Edith Piaf in the famous cemeteries of the Père-Lachaise, Montparnasse and Montmartre. So where would Giles and Esther like to be buried?Lastly, a new charge has started to appear on some restaurant bills – an admin charge.

The Siege, Starvation, and the Start of the Communard Revolt. Sebastian Smee discusses how during the Prussian siege of Paris, Parisians suffered terribly in the coldest winter on record. Radical Republicans grew furious at the moderate government's failure to defeat the Prussians. When the government surrendered and accepted severe conditions, the radicals decided to revolt. The revolutionaries, gathering in March 1871, seized cannons and established the Commune. The Communards were more libertarian than communist, aiming to democratize society. They were violent immediately, and the government forces retreated to Versailles. Paris found itself besieged again by French government forces directed by Adolphe Thiers.

A grave for over 6 million Parisians, the Paris Catacombs today are a huge tourist attraction of the city. But the history behind the subterranean ossuary is much deeper than just being a “mass grave”, and the intricate construction with bones is something that some find haunting while others find fascinating.

In this episode of the Join Us in France Travel Podcast, host Annie Sargent talks with Brian Revel, a traveler from Canada who shares practical and often surprising insights about exploring Paris in 2025. Together, they discuss how Paris feels cleaner, friendlier, and more accessible than ever. Whether you're visiting for the first time or returning after years away, you'll hear what's new, what's improved, and what remains timeless in this evolving city. Paris in 2025 feels different. The air is cleaner, the streets are quieter, and the pace of life is calmer. With fewer cars and more pedestrian zones, modern Paris travel combines sustainability and style. Annie and Brian explore how apps like Bonjour RATP and Navigo Easy make getting around the city easier than ever. Electric buses and an efficient Metro system make it simple to move through the city without stress. Brian also noticed a cultural shift—Parisians are more approachable and welcoming. Service workers, Metro attendants, and locals alike seem proud to show off their city's transformation. The episode also covers hidden corners and practical tips. Brian shares why Bouillon Chartier is still one of the best-value restaurants in Paris, how Galeries Lafayette offers surprisingly affordable lunches, and why a day trip to Strasbourg by TGV makes the perfect addition to any Paris itinerary.

Full Text of ReadingsTwenty-third Sunday in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 129The Saint of the day is Blessed Frdric OzanamBlessed Frédéric Ozanam’s Story A man convinced of the inestimable worth of each human being, Frédéric served the poor of Paris well, and drew others into serving the poor of the world. Through the Saint Vincent de Paul Society, which he founded, his work continues to the present day. Frédéric Ozanam was the fifth of Jean and Marie Ozanam's 14 children, one of only three to reach adulthood. As a teenager he began having doubts about his religion. Reading and prayer did not seem to help, but long walking discussions with Father Noirot of the Lyons College clarified matters a great deal. Frédéric wanted to study literature, although his father, a doctor, wanted him to become a lawyer. Frédéric yielded to his father's wishes and in 1831, arrived in Paris to study law at the University of the Sorbonne. When certain professors there mocked Catholic teachings in their lectures, Frédéric defended the Church. A discussion club which Frédéric organized sparked the turning point in his life. In this club, Catholics, atheists, and agnostics debated the issues of the day. Once, after Frédéric spoke about Christianity's role in civilization, a club member said: “Let us be frank, Mr. Ozanam; let us also be very particular. What do you do besides talk to prove the faith you claim is in you?” Frédéric Ozanam was stung by the question. He soon decided that his words needed a grounding in action. He and a friend began visiting Paris tenements and offering assistance as best they could. Soon a group dedicated to helping individuals in need under the patronage of Saint Vincent de Paul formed around Frédéric. Feeling that the Catholic faith needed an excellent speaker to explain its teachings, Frédéric convinced the Archbishop of Paris to appoint Dominican Father Jean-Baptiste Lacordaire, the greatest preacher then in France, to preach a Lenten series in Notre Dame Cathedral. It was well-attended and became an annual tradition in Paris. After Frédéric Ozanam earned his law degree at the Sorbonne, he taught law at the University of Lyons. He also earned a doctorate in literature. Soon after marrying Amelie Soulacroix on June 23, 1841, he returned to the Sorbonne to teach literature. A well-respected lecturer, Frédéric worked to bring out the best in each student. Meanwhile, the Saint Vincent de Paul Society was growing throughout Europe. Paris alone counted 25 conferences. In 1846, Frédéric, Amelie, and their daughter Marie went to Italy; there he hoped to restore his poor health. They returned the next year. The revolution of 1848 left many Parisians in need of the services of the Saint Vincent de Paul conferences. The unemployed numbered 275,000. The government asked Frédéric and his coworkers to supervise the government aid to the poor. Vincentians throughout Europe came to the aid of Paris. Frédéric then started a newspaper, The New Era, dedicated to securing justice for the poor and the working classes. Fellow Catholics were often unhappy with what Frédéric wrote. Referring to the poor man as “the nation's priest,” Frédéric said that the hunger and sweat of the poor formed a sacrifice that could redeem the people's humanity. In 1852, poor health again forced Frédéric to return to Italy with his wife and daughter. He died on September 8, 1853. In his sermon at Frédéric's funeral, Fr. Lacordaire described his friend as “one of those privileged creatures who came direct from the hand of God in whom God joins tenderness to genius in order to enkindle the world.” Frédéric was beatified in 1997. Since Frédéric wrote an excellent book entitled Franciscan Poets of the Thirteenth Century, and since his sense of the dignity of each poor person was so close to the thinking of Saint Francis, it seemed appropriate to include him among Franciscan “greats.” His liturgical feast is celebrated on September 9. Reflection Frédéric Ozanam always respected the poor while offering whatever service he could. Each man, woman, and child was too precious to live in poverty. Serving the poor taught Frédéric something about God that he could not have learned elsewhere. Learn more about the legacy of Frédéric Ozanam! Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

James discusses the key moments and all the fallout from the Club World Cup Semi Finals as Chelsea and Paris St Germain clinched their spot on Sunday's final. Joao Pedro starred in Chelsea's win, there's discussion on how he differs from Chelsea's other attackers and on Enzo Maresca's latest tactical tweaks that worked so well in the victory against Brazilians Fluminense. And PSG demolished Real Madrid, on a night where Xabi Alonso may have regrets about his selection and tactics. There's a focus on Madrid's individualism in their players against the clear team ethic and quality of the Parisians, who themselves look like they could be about to dominate football. It doesn't mean Chelsea can't beat them though... but it also doesn't mean PSG aren't the best around if they do...
