La minute Frenchic

Stop calling him The Michelin (Tyre) Man.... Il s'appelle : Le Bibendum !

One of the beauty of the French language is definitely its profusion of quirky, funny, poetic expressions... and I know it does not always make sense when translated into English leaving often French culture/language lovers completely flabbergasted... but isn't it part of the charm of the journey afterall?! Oui, oui, bien entendu ! In this episode, I'm taking you to my hometown Clermont-Ferrand to talk about Michelin, Le Binbendum (also called the Michelin man), the connection between Michelin tyres and the Michelin stars awarded to restaurants representing the gastronomie française ... I will talk about the history and story behind Michelin success, why the Bibendum is called this way (and not Michelin man in France).... it is in today's podcast!
