We recorded this episode well over a year ago but we still think it's an important one to listen to. Friend of the show and contributor to "French All Around Us", Joseph Dunn was lucky enough to meet with French President Emmanuel Macron when he visited New Orleans. Of course Jesse and Joseph will talk about other things but this was a brilliant conversation we wanted to share.

Melody is behind the FCL news desk to start the episode and then Jesse will let you know a little about next week's episode. It's an episode that we recorded awhile ago. Friend of the show Joseph Dunn joins us to talk about Emmanuel Macron's visit to New Orleans, that happened in December of 2022. It was recorded awhile ago but we think it's an amazing conversation. We hope you'll come back next week to listen!

This week we're joined by the Host of the YouTube channel, Histoire d'un Nord, Philippe Aubry. We'll admit we didn't know much about this area of Quebec called The Laurentides. Luckily we learned a lot from his channel and Philippe was kind enough to join us. We hope you enjoy learning about this area as much as we did!
