Jeff and Julie Move to France (during a global pandemic)

Time to say goodbye to 2023 on this, our last podcast of the year.

We talk about a few of our favorite stories from this past year, and discuss some of France's New Year's Customs.

On today's show, we will introduce you to Miss France, pass on the latest from the upcoming Paris Olympics in 2024 and visit the charming Roquecor Christmas Market.

A strange phenomenon has hit rural France. Many of the Villages have found their name signs upside-down. We explain. Also, we run through some of the strangest French Christmas Customs.

It's the most commercial time of the year. And festive, and quaint.

We check out the first Christmas market of the year. And yes, a live taste-test of some online Egg Nog Julie purchased. Finger's crossed.

Could wild hogs and boars be slowly taking over the planet? Find out more as Julie gets down and dirty with Super Pigs. We also take a look at Canada's declining life expectancy numbers.

The long awaited bio-pic about Napoleon Bonaparte has been released, and shocker, the French aren't happy about it. Also, Jeff reviews the wine he found in the ditch.

It's a talent competition that has been a part of the European fabric since the mide 1950's. On this week's podcast, we take an in-depth look at Eurovision.

We are back to tour another of France's Most Beautiful Villages.

This one is right around the corner. We visit Penne D'Agenais. Also, we have a couple of Olympic '24 updates for you and it's Fibre installation day on the property, what could possibly go wrong?

If you're traveling to France, it's good to know what to do in the case of an emergency. In this episode, we examine France's Emergency number system.

Also, we define a Cyclone Bomb as Northern France gets rocked by Storm Cairan.

France's Hallowe'en traditions aren't as deeply rooted as those from North America...or are they? We will explain. Also in this episode, we will run down the list of the most popular Baby names, and we have another Olympic update for you.
