We continue our visit to the Clog Museum and learn about these very old machines that are still in use today.

Hilaire shows us some of the more unusual clogs at the Clog Museum, from souvenirs clogs made for American troops in World War II to clogs made for cracking chestnuts.

In the final episode of this series on the Clog Maker's Museum, you'll see many kinds of clogs from all over Europe, including clogs for babies!

Lionel, Michel, and Juliette take a stroll through the village, where they meet some ceramic artists, a dog, and even the mayor!

Moving on from the salt mines of his previous episode, Lionel goes to Réchicourt-le-Château to learn about the locks and waterways of the area.

The lock in Réchicourt-le-Château holds a record in France. Find out what it is!

Lionel takes us inside the control room where locks are filled and emptied with an intricate system of drainage and supply valves. You'll learn a lot of technical vocabulary in the process!

In Paris, Lionel talks to Lahlou about the ordeal of getting to and from work during the recent pension reform strikes. With ten out of fourteen subway lines closed, Lahlou's commute can take upwards of three hours.

Lahlou discusses what it's like to be a Muslim in France. He normally prays five times a day and goes to the mosque on Friday. He distances himself completely from those who commit attacks in the name of Islam, which is a religion of peace.

Lalhou talks about his life as a Muslim in France and how he enjoys celebrating New Year's with his four children.

Over the summer, wanting a light lunch, Lionel made some cheese-filled crêpes. They turned out much heavier than he expected, but they were delicious nonetheless.

During the summer, a portion of Paris reinvents itself as "Paris-Plage" [Paris Beach]. The capital turns into a vacation spot by providing water access and outdoor activities near the Seine and other waterways like the Canal de l'Ourcq.

A very unpopular labor law caused Parisians to protest near the Bastille before it was passed in 2015. President François Hollande invoked Article 49-3 of the Constitution to force this law through. The protests continued after the law was successfully enacted in 2016. For more information, you can visit the Nuit Debout and Convergence des Luttes websites.

Louis and Fabio meet in a park to discuss the nice weather, their summer vacation plans, and the benefits of taking a break from their phones. You'll learn a lot of new slang words in this video!

Lauren shows us around the Croix-Rousse neighborhood in Lyon, famous for its traboules, a series of passageways located below the buildings. The neighborhood is a favorite spot for artists and families alike.
