The Martyred Village of Oradour-sur-Glane, Episode 359

10/17/21 • 65 min

This episode recounts the history of the martyred village of Oradour-sur-Glane near Limoges. What happened? Do we know why?

We like to think things like that can never happen again because the Second World War is far behind us now. But it's never a given and there are senseless massacres going on today still. Let's talk about it and why parents and leaders should never teach hate #joinusinfrance #WW2 #podcast

First Time in Paris Trip Report, Episode 358

For this first time in Paris trip report, Annie Sargent talks to Joni and Steve Goldin. They had booked an itinerary review with Annie, so they were better prepared than most. But they still made a few minor mistakes as we discuss.

Annie was a guest on the podcast FranceFormation, a show for people who want to move to France. Take a listen!

Hotel Recommendation

They chose the Da Vinci Hotel. A little boutique hotel in Saint Germain on Rue des Saint Pères that they recommend.

Generally they went back to their hotel in the middle of the day to rest up a little which allowed them to stay up later and eat later. This is a good strategy if your hotel (like theirs) is centrally located.

Annie's VoiceMap Tours they Took

Ile de la Cité on their first day, Saint Germain des Prés a few days later and Montmartre towards the end. Podcast listeners can buy these tours at an amazing low price here.

Restaurant Recommendations

Les Antiquaires, great Parisian café for sitting outside and people-watching.
La Place Royale on Place des Vosges.
Bouillon Racine on rue Racine.
Robert & Louise in the Marais (Joni loved the honey roasted duck breast)
