About France Travel Podcast with Camille Laurent

From the publisher's feed

Travelling in France means moving between deeply different worlds: Atlantic river valleys, Alpine passes, Mediterranean coastline and northern plains, all within one large Western European nation. This show treats that variety as something to live in, not just pass through. It follows a single host settling into one place at a time and learning how France actually works.
