You say flammekueche, I say tarte flambée! But no matter the moniker, we can certainly agree on one thing: this Alsatian specialty is a gustatory delight!

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.

Not only does Jean-Marc have a totally sweet ride, he also gets to ski on some of the coolest slopes in France. Lucky guy!

Tarte flambée is a specialty of the Alsace region of France that resembles a pizza. Typically made with crème fraîche, onions, and bacon, the traditional tarte flambée has also undergone many variations. Flam’s, a restaurant franchise based in Strasbourg, has dedicated itself to perfecting this Alsatian delicacy.

Daniel Benchimol guides us through the Quartier de la Mouzaïa, a quaint Parisian neighborhood filled with brightly-colored houses, patriotic street names, and old signs. You might forget you’re in a major city in the midst of this beautiful country landscape.

Remember Lionel, who warned us about the dangers of the working world, and asked the important questions about French grammatical gender? He’s back with a very important lesson for us about how best to get water out of your ears.

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.

Come take a trip to St-Jean-de-Luz, a beautiful resort town along the Atlantic in the Basque country of southwest France. Don’t forget to bring a towel!

Just how did Jean-Marc get the money for that beautiful car and those fancy ski trips? The answer involves a roundabout trek to the open outcry auction market of the French stock exchange (“la Bourse”). So could we say that Wall Street too resembles a “playground for grownups”?

No Quatorze Juillet would be complete without pétanque and Lillet—and that doesn’t just go for France. Here we talk with some of the people attending a Bastille Day celebration in New York City.

Come meet the owner of the bistro Parigot (French slang for “Parisian”). This charming restaurant is a French oasis at the intersection of Manhattan’s Chinatown/Little Italy and Soho districts.

Ask the Strasbourgeois what they love about their hometown, and most of them can sum it up for you in one word: tout! But don’t just take our word for it. See for yourself!

Michel, co-owner and head chef at Parigot, shows us how to make his very own tuna tartare. We can see why it’s so popular!

The beautiful Jardin du Luxembourg attracts both neighborhood students and foreign visitors alike. But let’s discover some of its lesser-known spots, such as the school of honey production and the association of pétanque players.
