Back in 2018, Amal and Caroline met up in the Luxembourg Garden (commonly known as "Luco"), one of the oldest gardens in Paris. Built in 1612, this beautiful garden is still very popular among Parisians and tourists alike.

Amal and Caroline don't always see life through rose-tinted glasses (voir la vie en rose). Sometimes they have the blues (broyer du noir). This video gives you the opportunity to explore some interesting idiomatic expressions using colors.

Amal and Caroline are in Laumière, in the north of Paris. This once industrial area is now quiet and appealing, as it remains more affordable than some more expensive parts of Paris. As a result, it is gradually becoming gentrified.

Amal and Caroline admit that they use a lot of swear words (jurons) when they're having a bad day or just dealing with the stress of life in Paris. Amal suggests they take a yoga class to decompress.

Caroline and Amal are in front of the Centre Georges Pompidou, a contemporary art museum built by, you guessed it, President Georges Pompidou! Its unusual architectural design created some controversy initially, but it has since become a very popular spot in Paris.

Amal and Caroline tell us about the Géode, a science and industry museum. Built in 1985 on the site of former slaughterhouses, it's a place where you can learn all about science and even enjoy a 3D movie.

Amal confronts Caroline about her smoking habit. Caroline knows that she's addicted and would like to quit. Amal suggests they both start jogging early in the morning to help her overcome her addiction.

Come discover the Parc de la Villette with Amal and Caroline. Built on the site of a former slaughterhouse, this park is now one of the largest green spaces in Paris.

Amal and Caroline are sitting in front the Louvre Museum and its famous glass pyramid. Once controversial, the pyramid is now considered one of the museum's finest works of art.

Amal gives Caroline a trick for skipping the long line that inevitably forms in front of the Louvre Museum. Then they decide to have a peaceful breakfast in the Jardin des Tuileries.

Getting around Paris has never been easier thanks to Vélib, a citywide bike rental service. Amal will tell you everything you need to know about renting a bicycle for a day, a week, or even a year. You won't be stranded after the subway closes at midnight!

Amadou Bagayoko and Mariam Doumbia are joined together by their love for music and each other. The pair met at the Institute for Young Blind People in Bamako, the capital of Mali.

Amadou and Mariam share singing duties with co-producer Manu Chao on a song with themes of migration and dislocation.

Amadou and Mariam reference a number of West African musical instruments, like djembes, dununs, balans, and tamas, in “Beaux dimanches”—a song about Sundays in Bamako.

Saxophonist Alex Terrier talks about how he came to be a jazz musician and shares some photos. Come take a glimpse inside the life of this gifted artist.

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.

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.

Aldo takes us to a very special house on 23 Rue Beauregard in Paris. In that house lived a shady character, Catherine Deshayes, who was responsible for the murder of thousands of infants. She and 36 others were burned at the stake by Louis XIV.

Listen to the young couple Ahlam and Timothé from Avignon as they carry out short, simple conversations on various topics.

Adrien talks to us about Paris's Rue des Martyrs [Martyrs Street]. There, a hapless bishop, Saint Denis, was decapitated. He supposedly carried his severed head in his hand all the way up the street. But rest assured, the street has none of this gruesome past. It's filled with restaurants, bars, cafes, and cabarets to keep you entertained and happy.

Discover the beautiful Parc des Buttes Chaumont in Paris with Adrien. This peaceful park used to be an execution site in the thirteenth century. Its gruesome past long forgotten, it is now a peaceful place where Parisians can get away from the city.

Adrien explores the Quai de la Seine and the Bassin de la Villette in Paris. This basin is the largest artificial body of water in the city of Paris. It once served as a source of drinking water, which, incidentally, was much cleaner than the water from the Seine.

Adrien will tell you everything about the Paris metro, which opened its doors in nineteen hundred for the World's Fair. It carries an impressive five million passengers per day and is one of the busiest underground systems in the world.
