Tres Dignified

In this captivating episode, we put a bow on last week's adventures, take a dog to the movie theater, and learn about French Catholicism's most delicious tradition. A day trip to Versailles becomes a comedy of errors, as our little Spider-Man climbs to new heights. Experience the laughter, the mishaps, and the green lips, as this family learns to find joy in the journey, no matter what France throws our way!

Welcome to our New Year celebration episode filled with truffles, swindlers, and a minor celebrity. We may not be in top health, but sure pretend to be in top form. Join us, won't you?

France is in top form for the Christmas season. Our family? Well, we're trying. This episode features London, New York, jetlag, ear infections, eye infections, learning to ride a bike, and learning to be OK with being hated on a train. How did we fit it all in? It's a Christmas miracle.

This week, we're hosting our dear friends Henry and Louisa, along with their two wonderful children. A fresh set of houseguests means a fresh set of eyes on the City of Light! Join us as our friends take us through their ups and downs. And don't miss the listener questions at the end of the show!

A week of normalcy is anything but normal. Join us at a child's strange birthday party in the middle of nowhere, followed by a mad dash to a double date in Paris with a celebrity encounter and a moderate ankle sprain. And stay tuned for listener questions from Erin in Boston!

It may not be Christmas quite yet, but you can still unwrap this special gift: a conversation with Ellie's parents! Join all four of us to hear about their perspective on our tres dignified expat lives. Hear about what market day is like for outsiders, the merits of meat jelly, and the one day each year when you buy a bottle of wine whether you want it or not. Enjoy! 

It's Thanksgiving in France, and we've got the turkey. Dizzy with tryptophan, we take our adventure underground - way underground - to the Paris catacombs. And that's not all. Come for the adventure, stay for the film review!

This week, we make ready for house guests. It starts with a peculiar toilet leak before our guests arrive. Will the plumber save the day just in time? As we ponder this, our excitement builds, intertwined with the inevitable mishaps that make this journey so uniquely ours. It's Tres Dignified.

November 12th finds us reminiscing about Armistice Day in the heart of France while diving headfirst into a lively chocolate festival at a majestic chateau. But it's not all sweet tunes and revelry as cultural mishaps and unforeseen challenges arise, testing our patience and perseverance.
Amid tales of unexpected beauty in the French countryside, encounter deep forests with ancient archaeological sites, where kids turn into little explorers, unveiling moments of enchantment among the autumn leaves and historical wonders.
Embrace the serene and chaotic as culinary delights surprise the palate, from tantalizing chocolates to an unforgettable dining experience marked by creativity and flair. Yet, not everything stays on the bright side; lessons learned through bouts of miscommunication and cultural surprises, including a dog sit gone wrong, ground this tale in reality.
Join as we navigate new landscapes, tugging at the heartstrings of adventure, while looking forward to what the future holds, affirming the spirit of resilience and unity in the face of unpredictability.

Children in a chalk mine. Haunted dolls. Over-qualified babysitters. These are just some of the curiosities that await in Reims! Join us as we take our first trip away from our new home. Together, we will experience parenting burnout, and wonder how anyone gets the smell of a stranger's cigarette smoking out of their home. It's Tres Dignified.
