    About Us
    From one Emily in Paris to another... just speaking French isn't enough to understand the intricacies of the locals, but it's definitely a good place to start. Famously defended by armed "immortals" of the Académie Française (no, we're not making this up) the French language is filled with clues that show interested outsiders what, exactly, makes the French tick.

    Each episode, listen in as Emily Monaco and an expert take a deep dive into a word that helps us gain a keener understanding of the French.

  • Républicain is a false friend, especially for Americans, but not for the reasons you might think. To explore how and why this term’s meaning varies so widely from France to the U.S., Emily is welcoming Emile Chabal, a historian of twentieth century European and intellectual life and author of France, a book that delves into the paradoxes that define this country.

  • If you grew up worrying the world was a popularity contest, get yourself to France, where the word populaire is better translated as "working class" or literally, "of the people." Without an apt translation for "popular," French society governs itself by different principles, which author Debra Ollivier is more than ready to unpack.

  • When we hear the word "brûlée" in English, we're likely thinking about the sweet, shattery topping of a classic French dessert. But when Notre Dame suddenly caught fire in 2019, a whole other meaning of this word came into focus. Marie DeGross is a tour guide specialized as much in pastry as she is in the history of the military and first responders in France. She's here to explore what makes the Paris Fire Brigade stand out on a national – and international – stage.

  • Je ne sais quoi is a phrase American women love to use to describe their French counterparts, but according to Debra Ollivier, best-selling author of What French Women Know About Love, Sex, and Other Matters of the Heart and Mind, the French don't use it at all. She's here to talk about why – and what this means about the French approach to popularity, likeability, and identity.

  • In French, à la mode has got nothing to do with ice cream. Rather, it refers to one of the pinnacles of art de vivre: fashion. Here to discuss how Paris became such a fashion capital – and what the cultural expectations of dressing are – is Kasia Dietz, travel journalist, bag designer, and fashion tour guide in Paris.

  • The word favorite doesn't really mean favorite, in France. Instead, it evokes a centuries-long tradition of sex, power, and gender roles in the French courts, as sisters and academics Christine and Tracy Adams are here to share.

  • Baguette may seem like France's most emblematic loaf, but pain de campagne or country bread tells the story of France's relationship with bread far more aptly. Here to trace that history is Apollonia Poilâne, the third-generation owner of Paris' Poilâne bakery.

  • If you start to get along fairly well with a new French acquaintance, you might field the question... On peut se tutoyer ? "Can we say tu?" This phrase allows you to change registers from the formal to the informal at the drop of a hat – something that English doesn't allow quite so easily, as translator Ian Winick is here to discuss.

  • While English already boasts the word author, it has also borrowed the French term auteur, a word that evokes a certain artist-driven film genre. Here to explore what that means about the French penchant for near-deification of artists is Dr. Gemma King, a professor at the Australia National University specializing in French and cinema.

  • The French love to speak in negatives: not bad instead of good, not false instead of true. This week, Emily is joined by Phineas Rueckert, an investigative journalist who is particularly intrigued by the way the French wield the phrase c’est pas évident – and what their understanding of it means regarding their relationship with facts and how they’re presented.

  • In France, a "good" immigrant is one who is intégré, integrated. This concept encapsulates values, language, culture, religion... and has frequently been weaponized against people of color. To delve into the ways in which this value looms large and small in French culture, Emily is joined by Megan Brown, a historian of Modern Europe with a focus on 20th-century France, European integration, and empire at Swarthmore college.

  • When you think of a Parisienne, do you imagine a temptress? A svelte fashionista? Well that narrow worldview is such a small part of the truth – something Lindsey Tramuta has sought to address head-on with her book The New Parisienne – and with Emily on this episode of Navigating the French.

  • “Simple” might be the last word you’d think of to describe French cakes, and yet in contrast to all of those ornate patisseries, French home bakes are indeed surprisingly plain, frugal, and, yes, simple. Here to explore how and why is Aleksandra Crapanzano, a James Beard Award–winning writer and dessert columnist for The Wall Street Journal for over a decade. She’s also the author of a book that gets to the bottom of le cake: Gateau: The Surprising Simplicity of French Cakes.

    About Us
    From one Emily in Paris to another... just speaking French isn't enough to understand the intricacies of the locals, but it's definitely a good place to start. Famously defended by armed "immortals" of the Académie Française (no, we're not making this up) the French language is filled with clues that show interested outsiders what, exactly, makes the French tick.

    Each episode, listen in as Emily Monaco and an expert take a deep dive into a word that helps us gain a keener understanding of the French.

  • If the self-help section of Barnes and Noble is to be believed, French women parent better, dress better, have sex better, cook better, lose weight better… and all with no effort at all! It's a mindset that has given Anglo-American readers almost impossible ideals to live up to, but it also has negative repercussions on teen girls growing up in an environment where it’s not cool to try… or even to care. Here to discuss how harmful the “French Girl Aesthetic" can be on teens growing up in such a context is real-life Française Iris Goldsztajn, a journalist who took Twitter by storm with her critique of this mindset.

  • When people call Paris the City of Light, it evokes images of a rose-tinted city illuminated by beautiful street lamps. But this "Light" is actually of a philosophical nature, as researcher Knox Peden is here to explain. In our conversation on lumière, he delves into the tenets of this philosophy and how it still resonates in French culture centuries later.

  • Faire son cinéma is to live in a dream world; arrête ton cinéma means stop being a drama queen. Manon Kerjean is the co-founder of Lost in Frenchlation, a program that screens French films with English subtitles in arthouse cinemas in Paris. She’s here not only to share these idioms with Emily, but also to discuss how essential cinéma is to French culture – and to foreign perceptions of France.

  • The word retraite has two apt translations: retirement and retreat. And while the French predilection for both is portrayed in somewhat outsized fashion in the international news media, it’s an apt word to discuss these days, in the wake of retirement reforms pushed through by a largely absent chief executive, President Macron. Here to get to the bottom of this issue is Chris O’Brien, the American journalist behind the newsletter French Crossroads.
