Oumar shows us how to cook the lobster and the vegetables in the second part of this delicious recipe.

In this video, Caroline takes us on a tour of her favorite Parisian street, the rue des Rosiers (“Rosebush Street”). A charming area full of art galleries and old buildings, this rue is also one of Paris’s most well-known Jewish neighborhoods.

The town of Nîmes goes all out for Christmas, with thousands of lights and giant candy canes all along the streets. It might just be the most festive city in France!

Nicola Sirkis, head of Indochine, the new wave French rock band that’s been popular since the 1980s, has a few things to say about some of his fellow artists. (Could he mean megastar Johnny Hallyday?) Nicola’s strong voice (in many senses) is clearly one of the reasons Indochine has so much staying power.

Melissa tells us how the music video for “Army of Love” came to be. She produced and directed it herself, with the help of animator Thomas Guerigen. It was a labor of love—one that paid off!

Poetry, photography, typography! All come together to make beautiful books, available at the Paris Poetry Fair.

The Butte Montmartre is a famous Parisian tourist hot spot, much of it filled with teeming crowds of camera-happy visitors. But if you take a look down some of the side streets and back alleys, you may be surprised by all the magnificent sights to be seen.

We hear a bit more from the lovely Pascale: on her beginnings in the musical world (she started early), her new album, and her music’s special combination of rhythm and soul.

Marion Cotillard was not a superstar when she landed the role of Edith Piaf in La Môme. But, already a formidable actress, she had an impressive set of roles under her belt, and the film’s director had no doubt she was “the one.” He was right: Marion took home the Oscar for best actress in 2008.

An interesting note: The USA release title for the film – in French, ironically enough – is La Vie en Rose, the name of a famous Piaf song, which basically means, “life through rose-colored glasses.” The French title comes from Piaf’s nickname: “La Môme Piaf,” which can be translated as “the little sparrow,” but also means “little kid Piaf.”
