Join me as I return from my summer hiatus and begin exploring France on spontaneous trips. In this episode, I visit a 12th-century abbey nestled in the valley of the Argonnne, explore the ruins of the Château du Haut-Barr with its eerie legends, and introduce a new segment called 'French in a Flash' where I break down castle-related French vocabulary. Learn about the history, architecture, and legends of these fascinating sites, and pick up some useful French expressions along the way. Enjoy a late summer stroll in Paris as well!
