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.

Food, markets, and holiday traditions played a big part in their trip. Heather shares stories of family meals, favorite French dishes, and the joy of celebrating Christmas in France.

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.

🎧 Listen today and let Annie and Elyse inspire your next adventure in France.

In this episode of the Join Us in France Travel Podcast, Annie Sargent shares the Bootcamp 2025 Report with guests Janet Boyd, Beth Hall, Mary Piltch, and Jeanne Powanda. Together, they look back on a week in Toulouse and the southwest of France filled with language, history, food, and friendship.

Bootcamp isn’t a packaged tour. It’s a flexible way to explore France in the company of fellow Francophiles. Each person chooses what to do each day, but the group also gathers for shared adventures. That balance of independence and connection makes Bootcamp special.

Janet, Beth, Mary, and Jeanne describe language classes at LangueOnze in Toulouse and share stories of excursions with Elyse Rivin. They talk about unforgettable visits to Albi, Carcassonne, Foix, Bruniquel, Pech Merle, Saint-Cirq-Lapopie, and Cahors. They also mention smaller experiences like wine tastings, a canal ride, and museums such as the Toulouse Resistance Museum and the Musée Saint-Raymond.

Not everything went smoothly. There were rainstorms, illness, and the occasional missed outing. But those hiccups became part of the story, a reminder that real travel is unpredictable. What matters most is the camaraderie, the discoveries, and the laughter along the way.

Bootcamp 2025 shows what it feels like to experience France beyond the tourist trail. It’s about castles and caves, local food, and the joy of connecting with people who share the same passion for French culture.

Here’s a 300-word iTunes/Podcast Apps summary for Episode 562:

What happens when your carefully planned vacation in France takes an unexpected turn? In Unexpected France: History, Nature, and a Bit of Chaos, host Annie Sargent talks with traveler Gregg Furey about a journey filled with breathtaking discoveries, surprising challenges, and a few classic French travel mishaps.

Gregg’s trip took him to places most visitors overlook. He explored the prehistoric caves of Arcy-sur-Cure, where ancient paintings connect today’s traveler with humanity’s earliest stories. He visited the soaring cathedrals of Laon and Bourges, each one a masterpiece of Gothic architecture. At the battlefield of Alésia, Gregg learned how Julius Caesar defeated Vercingetorix and how that moment still shapes French identity. And in Colombey-les-Deux-Églises, he reflected on the life of General Charles de Gaulle at the Croix de Lorraine memorial and museum.

But not everything went according to plan. Gregg ended up in a hospital in Sarlat after unexpected health issues. Instead of panic, he found efficient doctors, affordable treatment, and an eye-opening look at how the French healthcare system really works. This detour disrupted his schedule but turned into one of the most memorable parts of the trip.

This conversation is about more than just sightseeing. It’s about handling the unpredictable. It’s about staying flexible, finding humor when things go wrong, and discovering that mishaps often make the best stories. Annie and Gregg remind us that France is more than Paris and the Riviera. Smaller towns, Roman ruins, and quiet villages hold just as much magic.

Jackie shares how she and her family designed a flexible Dordogne road trip that let them visit charming towns, sample local food, and enjoy the landscape without feeling rushed. From famous stops like Sarlat and Rocamadour to less crowded villages along the river, Jackie explains what made each place special. She also talks about driving in rural France, finding parking in small towns, and the importance of leaving room in your schedule for spontaneous discoveries.

Annie and Jackie compare notes on French markets, restaurants, and the kind of authentic encounters that happen when you stay in smaller inns or gîtes instead of big hotels. They also highlight cultural differences, from the rhythm of French mealtimes to how Sundays feel completely different compared to North America.

This episode is packed with practical tips for anyone planning to go beyond Paris and explore provincial France. You’ll hear why renting a car is essential, how to balance sightseeing with relaxation, and which Dordogne villages Jackie would happily return to again.

Have you ever wondered how one writer could change French literature and politics at the same time? That’s the story we tell in Émile Zola: The Life, Legacy, and Scandal of France’s Most Influential Writer. In this episode of the Join Us in France Travel Podcast, host Annie Sargent sits down with Elyse Rivin to explore the extraordinary life of Émile Zola.

Zola was not just a novelist. He was a social critic, a scandal-maker, and a public voice for justice. His Rougon-Macquart series, including the famous novel Germinal, revealed the lives of miners, shopkeepers, and workers in 19th-century France. His friendship with Paul Cézanne shaped his early years. His relationship with Jeanne Rozerot brought private scandal. And his article J’Accuse made him a hero during the Dreyfus Affair, even though it forced him into exile in England.

Annie and Elyse take you through the highlights of an Émile Zola biography in plain language. You’ll learn about his role in shaping the Naturalist movement, his courage to stand up against injustice, and why he rests today in the Panthéon in Paris alongside France’s greatest figures.

This episode isn’t just about books. It’s about history, politics, scandal, and courage. It’s about how one man’s words still echo in France today.

If you’re curious about French literature, Paris history, or the Dreyfus Affair, this episode is for you. You’ll walk away with stories you can share and a deeper understanding of France’s cultural heritage.
