Fanny and Corrine tell us all about the merits of their hometowns. Crepes and parties? Or hot weather and bouillabaisse? Either way, you get some lovely beaches!

Corrine shares some more with us about the rich culture of the South of France, and she even puts on her best southern accent for us!

Remember Bertrand Pierre, the smooth crooner of “Si vous n’avez rien à me dire”? He’s back to tell us about his background as a musician, and how he stumbled across the Victor Hugo idea…

In our last interview with Fanny and Corrine, we hear a bit more about Brittany and learn about multiculturalism in France and how cultures can influence languages.

In this video brought to us by Allons en France, a French government program that encourages students to learn the language and culture of France, young people from all over the world tell us about what learning French means to them.

Bertrand Pierre is back to tell us more about his album: Autre Chose, a tribute to the lesser-known love poems of Victor Hugo.

Sure, the kitchen might be a little smaller on a yacht, but that doesn’t mean you can’t prepare a delicious dish! Patrick Barbary whips up some pasta for us and invites us to dine with him. Cheers, Captain!

Captain Barbary takes us around his yacht and shows us a few of his nautical necessities, like basil and something to take care of the bad guys…

Fanny braves the elements to tell us about her winter fashions and accessories and how best to stay warm during the colder months.

Fanny’s not only an expert on what to wear during different seasons—she clearly knows all about what’s good to eat. Raclette or rougail sausage, anyone?

Perhaps some people enjoy the five long, cold months of winter in France, but our Fanny would rather spend her time outside in the sun, not freezing in line just to wait for the coat check… Which season gets your vote?

Meet Melissa Mars: actress, singer, songwriter, storyteller, dreamer, “Martian.” In the first of her interviews with Yabla, Melissa tells us how her career got launched.

Melissa talks about the making of the music video for her second clip “Et Alors!” She was lucky enough to find a director whose vision matched her own. Great minds think alike!

Fate works in funny ways. Melissa’s tale of how she came to be in Mozart, l'opéra rock shows us that some things are just written in the stars. We’re glad she agreed.

Frenchman Jean-Marc takes a trip to the seaside and lets us know how the beaches of New York’s Long Island compare to those in France. (Though clearly he’s never been to Long Beach on a holiday weekend!)

It’s the perfect day for a stroll along the Atlantic. Jean-Marc shows off more of his hospitable surroundings. Check out the sun, sand, and cold, cold water.

Alex Terrier’s second project as a bandleader, Roundtrip, is a critically-acclaimed album in the vein of John Coltrane. Listen to it in full (and for free!) here.

Ever driven a car you like so much that after six hours on the road, all you wanted to do was keep on going? Jean-Marc was lucky enough to find that in his Audi A3.

Alex gives a detailed description of the saxophone and all its different parts. Did you know that, despite its association with jazz music, the saxophone was actually invented in the 1840s for use in military bands?

Alex explains the differences between the soprano, alto, and tenor saxophones. This is one of those situations where size definitely matters.

At nightfall in Gstaad, the preeminent ski resort in the Alps, a privileged few among the stars and high society can listen to the most popular classical musicians in the world…

English speakers may find this strange, but most European languages (including French) assign a gender to every noun. So how are you supposed to know that the word for “apple” (la pomme) is feminine, but the word for “grape” (le raisin) is masculine? Practice, practice, practice!

It's not exactly an everyday occurrence in France to be stopped on the street and questioned about your sex life, but most of these pedestrians, both young and old, seem perfectly comfortable with revealing their romantic secrets on camera.

At a demonstration of immigrants and homeless people in Paris, this woman sings a catchy little tune that shows her sentiments toward President Nicolas Sarkozy.
