As a very gendered language, French implies a masculine or feminine even in professions: a female chef is called a cheffe; a female poet could be une poète. But une boulangère isn't just a female baker – at least, not in a historical context. To explore why, Emily is chatting with Alice Quillet, co-owner and co-founder of the Ten Belles bakery and coffee shops.

About Us
From one Emily in Paris to another... just speaking French isn't enough to understand the intricacies of the locals, but it's definitely a good place to start. Famously defended by armed "immortals" of the Académie Française (no, we're not making this up) the French language is filled with clues that show interested outsiders what, exactly, makes the French tick.

Each episode, listen in as Emily Monaco and an expert take a deep dive into a word that helps us gain a keener understanding of the French.

The French would love for you to believe they’re all descended from the Gauls, and as a society have fairly assimilationist views of what makes someone French. Dr. Gemma King is here to help shed some light on a term that might appear to be purely descriptive of a multiplicity of identities within the tapestry of Frenchness but actually has some built-in connotations of purity and what it means to be truly French: d’origine.

The French may seem really set in their linguistic ways, but French is an evolving, changing language, like any other! It features multiple registers, from familiar to respectful, and it also has more than its share of unique slang expressions, dubbed argot. Here to explore what makes contemporary French unique is Charlie Whitesides, founder of Street French, a resource for Anglophones who want to speak French like the French do.

Books are an inextricable part of French culture, and so is where you get them. Librairie is a false cognate – the French word, not for library, but for bookshop. On this episode of Navigating the French, Emily is joined by Janet Skeslien Charles, author of the award-winning novel The Paris Library, to talk about this false friend as well as the place of both bookshops and libraries in French culture today.

George Bush famously claimed that the French don't have a word for entrepreneur, and while we all laughed at the time, there may have been a kernel of truth to what he said! To discuss why entrepreneurship is a fairly foreign concept to most French people, Emily is joined by multi-passionate creative Anne Ditmeyer. She’s here to talk about why this word may have French origins but remains foreign to many French people.

Emily chats with food historian Jim Chevallier, author of August Zang and the French Croissant. He’s here to explain why Marie-Antoinette could not have brought the croissant to Paris – and why her country of origin is still given credit for it through the word for this category of beloved breakfast pastries: Viennoiserie.

French culture is governed by a set of values: not just the libérté, égalité, fraternité formalized following the French Revolution, but also laïcité, culture générale, and more. Journalist Lily Radziemski recently attended a four-day integration course as part of her visa renewal process, and so she's perfectly positioned to chat with Emily about les valeurs françaises

The French are natural contrarians, but their love of arguing goes a lot deeper than a simple desire to be right. With roots in 18th century philosophy and childhoods rife with being told they're wrong, the French love of débat is pervasive. Here to chat about it with Emily is Keith van Sickle, a part-time expat and author of One Sip at a Time: Learning to Live in Provence, Are We French Yet?, and An Insider’s Guide to Provence.

In France, intellectual pursuits are so widespread that there’s a term to encompass the sorts of things folks are expected to know. It covers everything from French comic books based in Ancient Roman history to the newest cinematic masterpieces. To discuss culture générale, Emily is welcoming Mathilde Caër, a former bookseller and staff member at Paris’ museum of music.

*Mathilde expresses her personal opinion and doesn't speak on behalf of the museums mentioned.

In France, everything from knowing which you to use to buying stamps has an added layer of complexity. To discuss why, Emily is chatting with Ellen Hampton, historian and author of books like Women of Valor: The Rochambelles on the WWII Front. They're delving into the ins and outs of compliqué.
