From Mission Impossible to Emily in Paris: Inside Hollywood’s Love for France

Raphaël Benoliel is one of the key figures connecting Hollywood and France. From Mission Impossible to Midnight in Paris, from The Crown to Emily in Paris, he has worked with some of the biggest names in the industry — helping bring international productions to French soil. In this episode of A la Française, he shares the untold story of how Mission Impossible was almost cancelled just weeks before filming, what makes France so attractive to Hollywood, and why Paris continues to fascinate the world. We also dive into the cultural differences between French and American film crews, the global success of Emily in Paris, and the idea of Paris as a “fantasy” sold to the world. A rare behind-the-scenes look at cinema, culture, and the power of the French image. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Why Parisians Are So Arrogant (And Proud of It), with Olivier GIRAUD

For nearly two decades, Olivier Giraud, comedian and creator of the iconic show How to Become a Parisian in One Hour, has been teaching audiences from around the world how to decode — and laugh at — the Parisian way of life. In this episode, Olivier opens up about: - His daily terrace ritual in the Latin Quarter - The story behind French Arrogance Production - Why Parisians love to complain (and never smile) - What makes the French “art de vivre” so unique - His favorite places in Paris — and the ones to avoid - How cooking a perfect pot-au-feu became his signature dish From Bordeaux to Paris, from the stage of L’Olympia to café terraces, Olivier Giraud embodies the spirit and humor of French life — elegant, ironic, and full of contradictions. Watch now and discover Paris through the eyes of a true (and proudly “horrible”) Parisian. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

From Political Science to Luxury Travel: The Frenchwoman Behind Essential France

In this episode, we welcome Magali Chisholm, founder of Essential France, a luxury travel company based in New York that has been promoting the French art de vivre for over twenty years. Born in eastern France and educated at the prestigious Lycée Henri IV, Magali moved to the United States after a career in international organizations and fashion — from Chanel to Swarovski. There, she built a bridge between French elegance and American ambition, turning her passion for culture, food, and travel into a thriving business. Together, we explore what it means to sell “the French dream” to American travelers: how France became the world’s number one destination, the changing expectations of luxury tourism, and the timeless charm of gastronomy, romance, and good conversation. She also shares her own vision of l’art de vivre à la française — a slower pace, a shared meal, and a love for life’s simple pleasures. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
