I meet with Jim, a 71-year-old Brit who has been in Paris since 1965.

This isn't a typical episode - it's a little more laid back, (but we still did a quick-fire round), and it's a little more conversational.

We talk about the advantages of being a foreigner in France, the differences between French and English people, and how you should never "learn" French.

Then we have a Corey Story, this time about another Brit, Sir Richard Wallace, who brought those lovely green fountains to Paris.
