À Marseille, il y a cette présence au-dessus de nous… on lève les yeux et on la voit : la Bonne Mère. Surnom que l'on donne à Notre Dame de la Garde.  Elle rassure, elle protège, elle incarne cette ville. Et si elle se cache en ce moment pour cause de travaux elle reste, malgré tout, celle vers qui tous les objectifs sont pointés ! La bonne mère, c'est le titre du premier roman de Mathilda di Matteo dont Marseille est le personnage principal et dans lequel sont traités la maternité, la force des liens qui unissent mais serrent parfois trop fort, les origines, les fragilités, la relation mère-fille, la transmission – tout ce qui fait de nous des êtres humains profondément ancrés dans une histoire, une ville, une lignée. Bonne écoute ! Hébergé par Ausha. Visitez ausha.co/politique-de-confidentialite pour plus d'informations.

This week let's talk about why being reasonable is the worst advice we've ever been given. In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on the trap of “reasonable living” and sharing why the most magnetic, luxurious lives are built on unreasonable choices. We'll dive into: Why “reasonable” keeps you safe but small. How the French unapologetically live unreasonable lives — and why we're so captivated by it. Personal stories about my most unreasonable decisions (and how they transformed my life). A gentle invitation for you to step into your own folie douce, sweet madness, this week. Because the life you want, it isn't reasonable. And that's exactly why it's worth creating!   Let's take action on your unreasonable life!! Join me in Provence, France Summer 2026: https://www.thecuratedretreat.com/provence Retreat with me to Paris Fall 2026: https://www.rendez-vousluxuryretreats.com Let's be friends, oui?!

Le dimanche 31 août à Tour-de-Faure, dans le Lot, le calme du Parc naturel des Causses du Quercy a laissé place aux slogans des manifestants. En ligne de mire : le projet de TotalEnergies, qui prévoit d'installer près de 44 000 panneaux photovoltaïques sur 19 hectares de forêts et de prairies semi-ouvertes. Des milliers d'arbres devraient être abattus pour faire place au chantier.Pour les opposants, le paradoxe est criant : au nom de l'énergie verte, on sacrifie des espaces naturels riches en biodiversité. Ici vivent mammifères, oiseaux, reptiles et insectes protégés, comme le capricorne du chêne ou le lucane cerf-volant. « Il y a déjà assez d'espaces artificialisés pour installer des panneaux solaires et couvrir nos besoins énergétiques », rappelle Sébastien Garreta, président de l'association Lot Célé, au micro de FranceInfo. L'Ademe, l'Agence de la transition écologique, partage ce constat. Elle recommande d'installer les panneaux sur des toitures, parkings ou zones déjà artificialisées, afin de limiter les impacts sur les sols et la faune. D'autant que les études scientifiques abondent dans ce sens : selon l'université de Yale, construire dans des espaces naturels peut dégrader la biodiversité sans réel gain pour le climat.Du côté des élus, le premier adjoint Jean-Louis Eyrolles défend le projet, affirmant qu'il permettra d'alimenter en électricité le développement touristique local. TotalEnergies promet de compenser en replantant des essences locales dans un rayon de 30 kilomètres. Mais pour les écologistes, l'équation n'est pas si simple. La montagne de Lure, en Provence, a déjà vu un projet solaire annulé pour atteintes environnementales. Depuis le permis de construire signé en janvier 2023, associations et riverains mènent la bataille judiciaire. La Cour administrative d'appel de Toulouse a validé le projet, estimant que le site n'avait pas d'intérêt biologique « remarquable ». Mais la mobilisation reste vive, et tous attendent désormais le verdict de la Cour de cassation sur l'autorisation de défrichement. Entre transition énergétique et protection de la nature, le Lot illustre un dilemme bien français : comment produire une électricité propre… sans sacrifier les forêts qui nous protègent déjà.

Send us a textRevisit A to Z of French Herbs - Basil - Basilic Basil, or basilic in French, is one of the world's most beloved herbs, and in France it holds a particularly fascinating place in culinary history. Often called Herbes Royales — the Royal Herb — basil carries a name rooted in royalty, mythology, and legend. From its beginnings in India to its journey through the Roman Empire and eventual embrace in French cuisine, basil has always been more than just a kitchen staple; it's a herb steeped in stories, tradition, and delicious flavor.In this episode, we explore how basil became part of French cooking, thanks in part to Catherine de Medici and her Italian entourage, who introduced this fragrant herb to the French court. We'll discover its many names, from Fabrego in Provence to Sweet Basil, Thai Basil, and even Purple Basil, each variety with its own unique aroma and culinary use. Along the way, you'll learn how basil has been used not just in food, but also in religion, folklore, and even medicine.Of course, no discussion of basil in France would be complete without talking about pistou — the Provençal cousin of pesto. We'll dive into the story of this fragrant green sauce, how it differs from Italian pesto, and its starring role in traditional soupe au pistou, a comforting vegetable and noodle soup from Provence and the Côte d'Azur. Whether you're cooking at home or dreaming of French markets filled with fragrant bunches of basil, this episode will transport you straight to the heart of Provence.So, if you've ever wondered how basil found its way into French kitchens, why it's called the Royal Herb, or how to use it in classic French dishes, this episode is for you. Join me as we revisit the story of basil and uncover why this humble green leaf is one of the most fabulously delicious herbs in French cuisine.Support the showMy book Paris: A Fabulous Food Guide to the World's Most Delicious City is your ultimate companion.

Hear about travel to Marseille and Provence in France as the Amateur Traveler talks again to Audra Morris of The Nerd Traveler about her visit to France's second-largest city. Why should someone travel to Marseille and Provence? Audra says, "Marseille in Provence is the oldest town in France. It has got 2,600 years of history. It does have a reputation of being a little bit edgy, a little bit gritty, so it's one of those, under-the-radar kind of places. It's a beautiful place to have a home base for exploring the South of France, the Provence area specifically. It's such a cool and vibrant town. With it being one of the locales for the Olympics, they did spend quite a bit of money in the last 10 or 15 years really upgrading the city. It's quite a bit safer than a lot of people think it's gonna be." Audra recommends the following itinerary: Days 1–2: Explore Marseille Notre-Dame de la Garde – Iconic basilica on a hill with panoramic views (take the little tourist train or metro, not the steep walk). MuCEM (Museum of European and Mediterranean Civilizations) – Modern architecture plus exhibits; linked to Fort Saint-Jean (17th-century fort, cannons once pointed at the city). ... https://amateurtraveler.com/travel-to-marseille-and-provence/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Le marché immobilier français affronte deux urgences : la crise locative et la rénovation énergétique. Invité de Mon Podcast Immo, Zahir Keeno, président de Foncia ADB, détaille son Green Deal 2. Avec plus de 4,2 millions de passoires thermiques, soit 14 % des résidences principales, l'enjeu est immense. Foncia a déjà mené 400 projets de rénovation, représentant près de 30 000 logements rénovés. Mais l'ambition est désormais plus forte encore : « Notre objectif est clair : 25 000 logements rénovés d'ici 2027 », confie Zahir Keeno au micro d'Ariane Artinian.Depuis janvier 2025, plus de 14 000 logements gérés par Foncia sont déjà engagés dans cette dynamique. Pourtant, la tension reste maximale dans les grandes métropoles : Paris, Lyon, Marseille, Bordeaux, Aix-en-Provence. Les stocks de logements disponibles n'ont jamais été aussi faibles, pénalisant étudiants, familles et investisseurs. « Il n'y a pas de cercle vertueux sans rentabilité ni incitations fiscales pour les bailleurs », rappelle Zahir Keeno. Entre pédagogie, financement collectif et solutions innovantes, Foncia entend rendre la rénovation accessible à tous. Un défi crucial, au croisement du pouvoir d'achat, de la transition énergétique et de l'avenir du logement en France.

In this episode of Performance People, Georgie sits down with George North, one of Wales's greatest rugby players, to explore the defining moment that shaped his extraordinary career as he launches his autobiography. From growing up on the island of Anglesey, dreaming of the iconic red jersey, to scoring two tries on his Wales debut against South Africa at just 18, to his latest incarnation in the south of France, George recalls the sacrifices, the setbacks and the sheer drive that carried him to more than a century of international caps.George reflects on the grounding influence of his parents; a mother who kept him realistic, a father who drove him relentlessly and how that balance prepared him for the intensity of the Test arena. He shares candid memories of stepping into a senior Wales changing room as a teenager, the heroes who welcomed him in, and the unique pride of running out at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff.The conversation also tackles the toughest chapters of his journey: a run of concussions that forced him to reassess his health and priorities. With honesty and humour, George explains how he learned to manage recovery, find perspective, and build longevity in the game. Now playing in Provence with his young family, he reflects on lessons in resilience, mindset and joy that continue to fuel his performance.

Exploring Saint-Lizier: Hidden Gem of the French Pyrenees In this episode of the Join Us in France Travel Podcast, host Annie Sargent and co-host Elyse Rivin take you to the charming village of Saint-Lizier in the Ariège, nestled in the foothills of the French Pyrenees. Saint-Lizier is officially one of the “Plus Beaux Villages de France” and offers visitors a rare combination of Roman heritage, medieval architecture, and Pyrenean landscapes. Annie and Elyse walk you through the highlights, from the ancient Roman walls that still encircle the village to the Cathedral of Saint-Lizier and its cloister, along with the impressive Notre-Dame-de-la-Sède Cathedral. Both sites feature remarkable Romanesque frescoes that speak to the town's religious importance in the Middle Ages. The episode also explores the Diocesan Museum, home to centuries of religious art, and the unforgettable apothecary, where shelves lined with jars and wooden cabinets transport you back to a time when medicine was practiced very differently. Beyond history, Annie and Elyse highlight the natural beauty of the Pyrenees, with its sweeping views, rolling hills, and opportunities for hiking and exploring nearby towns. If you're planning a trip to Occitanie or want to go beyond the well-trodden paths of Paris and Provence, this episode is your Saint-Lizier travel guide. You'll hear practical tips on how to get there, how much time to spend, and why this small town deserves a place on your French itinerary.

I love road tripping in France and I aim to get there and meander the roads less travelled as often as I can! In the April/May of 2025 I took a "vacances" in France for a couple of months and embarked on 3 separate road trips with separate groups or individual friends. .Author Katherine Watt and I became great friends after she was interviewed on the Loulabelle's podcast a number of years ago and I have spent much time with her on previous visits to France where she now lives in Saint-Malo, Bretagne. Both Katherine and I were excited to road trip through a part of Provence that neither of us had been to before. We agreed on a rough outline of the route we might take, but importantly we both were happy not to lock in too much of the detail and just go with the flow! I normally plan much more than this, so it was oddly refreshing or even freeing to make decisions about where we would stay and what we would do at the last minute! I had a car for the full 6 weeks of the road trips I took, which made the last minute decisions a bit easier as we didn't need to factor in public transport..Our journey started in Lyon, with the first day comprising a 5 hour drive to Aix-en-Provence to commence the road trip. After this day though, we stayed off the motorways and took only the back roads. We also opted to stay in Airbnb style accommodation so we could cook in our own kitchen sometimes and we would have the capacity to store and enjoy local produce we bought along the way. We also decided that we wouldn't drive for more than an hour or so each day to allow time to immerse in the local area we found ourselves in..Tune into this episode and escape to Provence momentarily with us.

In France, life is designed around something called the third space — places that are neither home nor work, but hold community, creativity, and joy. From café terraces in Paris to the stoops of our favorite sitcoms, these spaces are where belonging lives. But in America? We've forgotten them. And with remote work blending home and office into one, the absence of a third space leaves us restless, burnt out, and craving connection. In this episode of Eat the Damn Bread, I'll take you inside: What the third space is and why it matters How the French treat cafés, terraces, and boulangeries as everyday luxuries Why Americans struggle with building third spaces — and how remote work made it worse How to find or create your own third space, no matter where you live Because life is too rich to be lived only in two places. The secret is in the third.

Swamini Amrita Jyoti Prana est une religieuse française. Elle est disciple d'Amma : Cette grande figure spirituelle contemporaine de l'Inde, hindoue de naissance, sillonne le monde et proclame la religion universelle de l'amour. Swamini Amrita Jyoti Prana témoigne ici des questions brûlantes qui ont pris une place de plus importante dès son adolescence, au cours de laquelle elle ne voulait plus croire en ce qu'elle voyait, elle qui en avait « assez des histoires » qu'on lui racontait. Jeune femme, sa quête s'est transformée en obsession de comprendre, de connaître les réponses aux questions essentielles de la vie, et de pouvoir guérir les grands traumatismes de son enfance. Elle décrit ses découvertes progressives de l'Inde, dont on dit qu'elle est « une terre où poussent les âmes ». À la recherche d'un maître spirituel qui puisse lui apporter des réponses indiscutables, elle revient sur les trois rencontres les plus déterminantes de sa vie : Ma Anandamoyi, Arnaud Desjardins et Amma.    Avec Swamini Amrita Jyoti Prana, nous partons à la découverte d'une spiritualité à la fois profondément ancrée dans les traditions orientales, notamment hindoue et bouddhiste, et nous ne cessons de relever leurs multiples ressemblances et leurs liens profonds avec le christianisme. En s'attardant davantage sur le rayonnement d'Amma, elle nous révèle le cœur du message des grands maîtres spirituels qu'elle a suivi. Un message qui va justement au cœur et à sa purification, à l'acceptation et l'émerveillement du réel, à la libération des souffrances. Swamini Amrita Jyoti Prana nous confie également pourquoi elle a accepté, après avoir vécu de longues années en Inde, de fonder en France le premier asram d'Amma en Europe, là où nous l'avons rencontrée. Elle nous explique son attachement à Amma, et nous dit que, si elle a choisi de transmettre en terre française sa spiritualité plutôt qu'une autre, c'est « parce qu'elle est celle que j'ai reçue ». Aujourd'hui, avec toute sa communauté, Swamini Amrita Jyoti Prana prépare la venue très proche d'Amma, qui sera de retour en France dès la fin du mois d'octobre. En écoutant Swamini Amrita Jyoti Prana, on ne peut plus nier l'évidence que tous les hommes et les femmes de ce monde sont issus d'une même Création, voulus et aimés par une même puissance divine. Celle-ci s'exprime dès qu'elle le peut, en nous offrant des guides et des maîtres qui ressemblent tellement au Christ. Lui qui incarne pour nous la plus grande figure. Il est l'alpha et l'omega, l'archétype de toute l'humanité, qu'il libère du mal, et fait ainsi accéder au Royaume des Cieux.   Pour découvrir le site Amma France, et toutes les informations sur sa prochaine venue à Aix en Provence et à Chartres, cliquer ici.  --------------      Pour lire Le bonheur est une décision, le livre de Swamini Amrita Jyoti Prana, cliquer ici. OUI  Chers amis, chers auditeurs de Zeteo, « La vérité est tellement simple, un seul mot la résume : oui » Cette parole citée par Swamini Amrita Jyoti Prana, l'invitée de l'épisode de ce jour, elle est celle de Swami Prajnanpad, l'un des plus grands sages du XXème siècle en Inde. Ce mot, le plus simple, le plus ouvert, le plus positif et le plus aimant qui existe, est ici le fruit de l'acceptation et de l'émerveillement de ce qui est, de tout ce qui est. Il me fait penser au « Fais de moi ce qu'il te plaira » de Charles de Foucauld. Cette voie de la simplicité, elle semble tellement difficile, voire impossible parfois. Elle est pourtant celle à laquelle nous savons tous, au plus intime, qu'elle est vraie et même unique. Il en faut, des rencontres, des enseignements, des témoignages, des illuminations même, comme des joies et des tristesses, pour en arriver là. C'est notre chemin à tous. Avec cette merveilleuse transmission, offerte aujourd'hui par une religieuse française à la spiritualité si inspirante, je voudrais ajouter un autre mot. Il est aussi beau, et il exprime à lui tout seul et au mieux tout ce que je voudrais dire à tous ceux qui nous ont manifesté leur soutien ces derniers jours : Merci La mission continue. Elle est tellement belle, joyeuse, lumineuse souvent, difficile parfois aussi. Merci à tous de la rendre possible, et de lui apporter tant de beauté et d'amour. Merci pour vos prières. Nous avons tous besoin les uns des autres.

Are you tired? So am I! When our tank is low and we feel like we're running on fumes, it's time to pause and prioritize sacred rest. Rest is not a privilege reserved for a select few, it is an absolute essential for all human beings. Sacred rest is accessible, nourishing, and steeped in simplicity; it's found in the quiet moments that feed our bodies and spirits. As we listen to the sounds of the night, consider your energy tank, are you running on empty? It may be time to center sacred rest in your life. What am I reading?The Rainfall Market by Yeong-Gwang translated Slin Jung https://bookshop.org/a/111301/9780593952665The Scandinavian Guide to Happiness by Tim Rayborn https://bookshop.org/a/111301/9781951511210https://bookshop.org/shop/witchywomanwalkingWhat's playing on repeat?Don't Come Around Here No More by Tom Petty and the HeartbreakersWhat's for dinner?Creamy Chicken Orzo SoupIngredients:Olive oilButterAll purpose flourChicken breastOnionsGarlicCeleryCarrotsOrzoChicken brothCoconut milkHerbs de ProvenceSalt and pepperRed pepper flakes Instructions: Heat tablespoon of butter and olive oil in a pan over medium heat.

My guest in today's episode #69 of The Nourishment Mindset podcast is the wonderful Dr. Anthony Daffner-Milos, a wonderfully compassionate, fabulously educated, humble, gentle and talented Doctor of Physical Therapy. (I know this as I'm a patient and have recommended him to plenty of people!) Dr. Anthony is the owner of ADM, a concierge PT practice with mobile service for local patients in Collier County, Florida and telehealth for those located elsewhere.We discuss how he discovered his calling into the profession, his love of learning and resulting numerous certifications — if the man were a master of languages he'd speak about 50! As well as his specialized and comprehensive training in The McKenzie Method, a modality that has helped me and my husband tremendously. We also get into common mistakes he sees people making and his recommendations for overcoming them. Tune in to learn about what to look for in a PT or potentially find a match in a healer. Please note I mispronounced his last name: it's MI-los, not Mee-los as I incorrectly said. Apologies!FINE READ-Seed Oil Scout is a great app and site that helps us avoid what Dr. Cate Shanahan refers to as The Hateful Eight, inflammatory seed and vegetable oils like soybean, canola, etc. I subscribe to their newsletter and learned a lot about the potential toxins hidden in our spice racks in their recent newsletter. It describes the two harmful substances used to sterilize spices — one of which is banned in Europe, and why you should think twice before buying a spice. The good news is that when you buy organic, you avoid these sterilizers. Check out the short article and let me know what you think!FINE FIND-Sometimes we need to take some time to rest and recharge during the day. This fine find, 20 Minute Power Nap by Paradigm Yoga is a 20 minute video that has saved me many times after a rough night of sleep or travel jet lag. The narrators voice is so soothing and in 20 minutes I come to feeling so much better.FINE RECIPE-Today's “recipe” is more of a welcome board or appetizer for entertaining (or full meal!). You can make in smaller quantities or decrease the selection for small groups. This newsletter photo shows our family's selection while in our shared home in Provence, France this summer. Chef Fletch is rightfully feeling extremely proud: notice the pestle sticking straight up in the green mortar? It's the first time he has ever made perfect garlic aioli, and aioli is a serious affair! We're so proud of our little foodie.From left to right, you'll see his aioli (email me for the recipe!), a delightful and simple heirloom tomato salad (seeds removed) drizzled with EVOO (Extra Virgin Olive Oil) and balsamic glaze then topped with fresh basil and sel gris. Our main wooden platter there has grooves along the sides so we “framed” it with two kinds of olives (Nyons are black and Picholine are green; substitute here in the US). Then lined the bottom with rows of Comté, the most adored cheese in France by consumption (yum!) and cured sausage slices (wild boar). At the top there's a beautiful herbed chèvre (goat cheese) with rows of sliced baguette featuring duck liver mousse and three tapenades — tomato, black and green olive.To the right of the platter we have a very simply sliced cantaloupe drizzled with more EVOO and sel gris and some sardines, which are great protein and true fish oil sources (the stuff you might be swallowing in capsules is rancid; whole food wins again!). It is of course a rather large “apéro” and actually served as a complete dinner for five that evening. Bon appétit!Lastly, if you haven't bought The Nourishment Mindset book, what are you waiting for? It's all about what the French do seemingly effortlessly a it's part of their culture: the pleasures of the table. I also share my story of sickness and healing and serve up many practical tips and recipes for improving your health with real whole foods — all in a straight talkin' manner, of course.Thanks for reading Nourishment Mindset Podcast!

Send us a textGeneral Overview of French SaucesFrench sauces are more than just condiments — they're the heart and soul of French cuisine. In this episode of Fabulously Delicious: The French Food Podcast, we dive into the fascinating world of sauces, exploring how they elevate even the simplest dishes into something extraordinary. From the velvety béchamel in a comforting gratin to the golden hollandaise draped over steamed vegetables, sauces bring richness, brightness, and balance to French cooking.We'll uncover the history of French sauces, tracing their evolution from the thick, spice-laden concoctions of the Middle Ages to the refined creations of the 17th century, shaped by visionary chefs like La Varenne. And of course, we'll celebrate Auguste Escoffier, the culinary genius who codified the five “mother sauces” — béchamel, velouté, espagnole, tomato, and hollandaise. These timeless foundations form the building blocks of classical French cuisine and continue to influence kitchens worldwide.French sauces are also deeply tied to place. In Burgundy, wine reductions create bold and hearty flavors, while Provence favors lighter, olive oil and tomato-based sauces. Normandy leans into its dairy heritage with cream and cider-infused sauces, and the South-West embraces indulgence with duck, foie gras, and Armagnac. Each region of France has its own saucy story to tell, shaped by its landscape, traditions, and local ingredients.Whether you're a professional chef, a passionate home cook, or simply a lover of French food, this episode will give you a new appreciation for sauces as the backbone of gastronomy. So grab a glass of wine and join host Andrew Prior as we kick off Saucy September — a month-long celebration of French sauces on Fabulously Delicious: The French Food Podcast.Support the showMy book Paris: A Fabulous Food Guide to the World's Most Delicious City is your ultimate companion.

In this episode of the Vint Wine Podcast, Billy sits down with Jeremy Seysses of Domaine Dujac, one of Burgundy's most respected and influential domaines. Founded in 1968 by Jeremy's father Jacques, Domaine Dujac has grown from just a few hectares in Morey-Saint-Denis to over 20 hectares of some of the Côte d'Or's most coveted vineyards. Today, Jeremy carries forward that legacy while also shaping a vision for the future of Burgundy.The conversation explores the estate's history, farming and winemaking philosophy, and Jeremy's perspective on whole-cluster fermentation, organic and biodynamic viticulture, and the generational shift in Burgundy.

Luxury isn't about saying yes to everything. It isn't the crowded calendar, the endless obligations, or the forced commitments that leave you drained. The new luxury is about discernment, alignment, and the elegant no... boundaries that protect your energy without guilt or apology. In this episode, I'm breaking down how to practice the elegant no so you can curate a life that feels expansive, intentional, and joy-filled. We'll talk… • Why saying no feels so hard, and how to reframe it as an act of self-worth. • How the French philosophy of restraint and refinement ties into living beautifully. • Real-world scenarios and scripts for saying no to friends, clients, and even family,  gracefully and without ever using the word “no.” • How fewer, deeper yeses create more space for the everyday moments of joie de vivre. By the end of this episode, you'll see that boundaries aren't barriers, they're the foundation of living well, slowly, and luxuriously. Because your yes means more when you've mastered the elegant no.   Useful Resources:
