Podcast: Talking 'Retraite' With Emily Monaco
In which I am invited to share my thoughts on the heated retirement debate in France. Plus: Learn what my favorite French word is.
I was recently invited by the journalist Emily Monaco to appear on her podcast, Navigating The French. Emily writes the Emily In France newsletter, which is an absolute must-read if you are a cheese lover, but also great for her general observations about France and the French.
In each episode, she invites a guest for a conversation based on a word. For me, it was the word of the moment: retraite (retirement). Which, as you may have heard, has caused some, uh, differences of opinion in France.
She just published the episode, so give it a listen. And be sure to check out Emily’s food blog and other writing about France and travel. She also organizes food tours and writing retreats for those of you looking to experience France with a different twist.
Enjoy!
