    I absolutely love this podcast. I have learnt so much about France and only wish we could get out of lockdown so I could get there. I was in France quite a few years ago, but wish I had listened to this podcast first, so I would have known exactly where to go. I love hearing your stories and look forward to your new episodes. I listen to the podcast before I go to bed and often dream about France, which is fabulous. I want to thank you so much for entertaining me and keep up the great work. ... more
