Annie and Elyse introduce themselves and tell you why you need to be a better tourist!
1:30 Annie and Elyse’s backgrounds.
6:30 Stinky cheese anecdote: Boulette d’Avesnes.
8:40 Why do we podcast? To inspire listeners to take a trip to France. You can listen to the podcast while you plan your trip or while visiting France, which is easier than carrying a guide book around.<!–more–>
10:00 We’ll talk about art, history, food, wine, regional French specialties, style, how to find a good hotel, getting around, customs of French people, specific monuments/places to visit, public transportation, etiquette in restaurants, and much more.
14:00 Give listeners clues how to look at things, how to appreciate works. Help listeners get the most out of their visit. Don’t just “do” the Louvre, experience it, learn the secret stories and things you’ll remember forever.
15:45 Format of the podcast: We are planning on podcasts of 15 to 30 minutes, with occasionally a shorter language or cultural tip. They will all be in the same feed, subscribe to get all of them.
17:00 We may get listeners who want to move to France, we will give them tips, although that’s not the primary purpose of the podcast.
18:00 On joinusinfrance.com you will find links to all the places we mentioned, as well as PDFs for items that need to be looked at rather than listened to, maps, etc.
19:00 Travel good surprises and bad surprises.
