Reach Serious France Travelers
Every Single Week
Join Us in France is a weekly podcast for English-speaking travelers who plan carefully, spend comfortably, and love France deeply. Publishing every Sunday since 2014.
About the Show
Join Us in France is hosted by Annie Sargent, a French native who has lived near Toulouse for over 20 years. Every episode is grounded in personal experience and verified information — Annie calls ahead to check facts rather than repeating what's already online.
Episodes cover trip planning, French regions and cities, history and culture, and firsthand listener trip reports. The show has published 592 episodes and counting, without missing a single Sunday in 12 years.
This is not a flashy travel influencer show. The audience comes back because they trust the host. That trust is what you're accessing as a sponsor.
