Un après-midi avec Felicia et Lisa à la BNF Richelieu, dans l'ancien palais du Cardinal Mazarin — et surtout dans la salle Ovale, un lieu spectaculaire, à la fois très XIXe siècle et étonnamment moderne. On y lit, on y dessine, on y observe aussi les autres : une parenthèse studieuse et douce en plein cœur de Paris. A quiet afternoon at the BNF Richelieu library in central Paris, inside a former 17th-century cardinal's palace — and specifically in the Oval Room, a stunning reading room finished in 1936 and reopened to the public a few years ago. This episode is a gentle, observational piece of real spoken French: watching people read, work, and think in one of Paris's most beautiful shared spaces. The vocabulary itself is very accessible — describing a room, a mood, what people are reading. There's also a nice layer of precise, visual vocabulary around the space itself: rows of shelves, reading lamps, work tables, the physical language of a library that's genuinely useful once you notice it. What makes this episode rewarding for B2–C1 listeners, though, is the reflective, essayistic tone: subtle observations about collective concentration, quiet public spaces, and a closing thought on what actually defines a podcast — the kind of nuanced, unhurried French you'll rarely encounter in a textbook..  www.onethinginafrenchday.com D'autres épisodes à écouter aujourd'hui : BNF, Bibliothèque nationale de France

A wealthy, old art collector always wants more, a successful gallery owner finds herself alone, and a famous painter at the top of his game might have been involved with the mysterious death of an art gallery employee. The world of buying and selling art is portrayed as hazy and ridiculous, but the astronomical numbers are serious. While some of the characters are a bit unlikable, everyone has a story and perceptions about who they are and what they need to be happy. The Violet Hour (Pegasus Books, 2026) is a well-written novel about the business of art, the power of wealth, and the transitional aspect of relationships. JAMES CAHILL was born and grew up in London. He has worked in the art world and academia for the past fifteen years, having originally studied Classics and English at Magdalen College, Oxford, followed by a master's degree in contemporary art at the Courtauld Institute of Art, London. In 2018, he was awarded a PhD in Classics at the University of Cambridge. His debut novel, Tiepolo Blue (2022) was shortlisted for the Authors' Club Best First Novel Award and selected for H.M. The Queen's Reading Room. To quote Her Majesty Queen Camilla: “Surprising, unsettling and gracefully told; ‘Tiepolo Blue' is a story about art and academia, which reads like a thriller.” He writes for publications including Artforum, the Financial Times, the Times Literary Supplement and the Spectator.

Is your Lodge's Masonic education program truly providing Light? Or does it end with a monotonous reading from the ritual book? For many Masons, the deep, transformative promise of the Craft gets lost in the routine repetition of words without an exploration of their meaning. In this episode of Craftsmen Online, we talk with Brother Garrett Pottmeyer, Senior Warden and Lodge Education Officer of Grants Pass Lodge No. 84 in Oregon. Garrett is revitalizing his Lodge's educational experience drawing inspiration from the work of W. L. Wilmshurst's classic "The Meaning of Masonry" and the practical wisdom of Kirk MacNulty's "Working the Way of the Craftsman."Show notes and links: Join us on Patreon.
