157: Anne Hidalgo’s Paris Legacy & the 2026 Vote with Phineas Rueckert Lindsey Tramuta 2026-03-10 | We are nearing the end of an era. Anne Hidalgo, Paris mayor since 2014, will soon be leaving office. And this weekend, we vote on her replacement. In fact, there are elections all over the country.

169: Has Coffee in Paris Gone Too Far? A chat with Mihaela Iordache Lindsey Tramuta 2026-09-10 | Coffee shops in Paris are exploding. In fact, a new one opens in Paris every 3 days, according to a recent study. That's a far cry from 20 years ago, when one cafe roasted and served specialty coffee: Le Caféothèque (lacafeotheque.com) (which still exists!). What’s going on? Why has it accelerated, and can they all be considered specialty? Coffee roaster Mihaela Iordache (instagram.com/mihaela_iordache_/?hl=en) , formerly of Belleville Brûlerie, joins me to analyze the state of things, what is and ISN'T truly specialty, and which places she keeps returning to.

The intensity of that was the cherry on top of a particularly punishing local news cycle in recent months, especially for CNN’s Paris bureau chief Saskya Vandoorne (instagram.com/saskyacnn/?hl=en) .

164: On bilingualism and code-switching with Ariane Bernard Lindsey Tramuta 2026-06-18 | Next month marks six years, if you can believe it, since The New Parisienne was released. I’ve kept tabs on all the women I profiled and some have become dear friends. Among them: Ariane Bernard who, at the time of our first interview, was overseeing all things digital at Le Parisien newspaper. I distinctly remember the moment I met her. I heard her speak with the kind of cultural fluency and humor of someone reared in the United States. And yet, she wasn’t. I quickly learned she was perfectly bilingual but I also wanted to know how she accommodated the dualities of her identity. Today, she works for herself and goes between Paris and New York. We talk about her sequential bilingual journey, navigating two very different work cultures, and a few of her linguistic grievances. You’ll also hear which spots in Paris she returns to time and again. Want to learn French at your own pace with private or group classes online? Sign up for Lingoda (l16sh94jd.com/26KN315/55M6S) .

Paris, with its rich culture and vibrant social scene, may seem like the perfect place to forge connections. However, many newcomers often find it challenging to break into established social circles.

America: a Nation of Emigrants? Lindsey Tramuta 2026-05-25 | America, it is often said, is a nation of immigrants. But is it becoming a nation of emigrants — a country that drives people away in search of greener pastures?

162: On the art of French chocolate with pastry chef and educator Lisa Allen Lindsey Tramuta 2026-05-22 | As you may know, chocolate isn’t created equal, and French style is very different from Belgian and Swiss confections. There are chocolate shops and pastry chefs who dabble in chocolate all over Paris, but within that network, there are clear differences in quality. Lisa Allen, a chocolate educator, pastry chef, and guide who runs Tarts & Truffles (tartsntruffles.com) , joins me to talk about some of these distinctions, what she’s learned about chocolate over the years, and where she recommends you go for all your chocolate needs in Paris.

158: A new mayor for Paris! Interpreting the election results with Léa Chamboncel Lindsey Tramuta 2026-03-25 | There is some relief to be shared right now for many Parisians— voters sent Rachida Dati walking and opted for Emmanuel Grégoire, formerly Anne Hidalgo’s first deputy, as the French capital's new mayor. The Socialist party has governed Paris for 25 years and the majority has spoken. But that isn’t the full picture. To give you a sense of what his win means, how many people really turned up to vote, where the finger pointing is being aimed now by major political parties, and what Grégoire plans to do for Paris, I asked political journalist and author Léa Chamboncel. Here's what to know.

156: On Paris vs London in the arts with Maïa Morgensztern Lindsey Tramuta 2026-02-24 | Almost two years ago, I met today’s guest on an art deco journalist jaunt around Greater Paris and have followed her work ever since. Maïa Morgensztern is a French art historian and culture journalist living in London but returns to Paris monthly, usually for an exhibition. Given how much has changed in the art world in the last year, I wanted to get her take on Paris vs London, the historical contexts of both cities in their approaches to culture, and the impact of Brexit on the art world. We talk about government and private funding in the arts, access to cultural institutions, and the class divides that influence who engages with art. You’ll also hear where she likes to go, every time she’s in town.

155: What it takes to become French in 2026 with Charli James Lindsey Tramuta 2026-02-11 | Nearly 12 years I ago, I became a French citizen. Since then, a lot has changed. Most notably, the criteria for nationality have tightened this year. Given how many more Americans, in particular, are looking to move to France, I thought it was time to dig into the process, how it’s gotten harder and why — at least for everyone except George Clooney— and to do so, I brought on a friend of the show, France 24 journalist, and new French citizen, Charli James.

154: Understanding childcare in Paris: the nannys view with Lise Scott Lindsey Tramuta 2026-01-23 | Whether you have children or not, chances are you’ve heard that France’s childcare system is among the best in Europe, both in terms of public and private options. There’s the crèche, subsidized daycare, shared nannies, au pairs, and full-time Nannies who make, or should anyway, a living commensurate with their experience and hours worked. Since more and more foreigners are moving to Paris with children or with the intention of having children, it’s important to understand the landscape. I happen to know someone who works in this world and wanted to get her story, her views on child rearing in Paris specifically, the options that exist, the dark side of the business, and how it all compares with the UK and Germany, where she has both lived and worked.

152: Paris Dining today with Carina Soto Velasquez and Nora Bouazzouni Lindsey Tramuta 2025-11-07 | In continuing the conversation around the city’s culinary scene, the episode you’ll hear today comes directly from a panel discussion I was part of at The American Library in Paris with two very powerful voices in food that I’m proud to know. I was joined by Carina Soto Velasquez, the co-founder and owner of Quixotic Projects (Candelaria, Le Mary Celeste, and A La Renaissance), and Nora Bouazzouni, a French journalist and author who reports on ethical issues in the industry. We go through the changes in the food scene, some of the ongoing challenges for women, and how violence endures in the kitchen across the country.

150: On making a new life in Paris with Susanna Schrobsdorff Lindsey Tramuta 2025-09-25 | Almost a year ago, I launched a series on my newsletter called Leaving America, based on the multitude of reasons Americans opt to leave the country and why many of them, as it happens, end up in Paris. Through this series and my network of creative women in Paris, I’ve connected with so many brilliant Americans who have moved, want to move, or at least understand the desire to. That includes Susanna Schrobsdorff, (susannaschrobsdorff.com) a former executive editor and columnist for Time Magazine who moved to Paris within the last couple of years. Right off the bat, we started talking together about the feelings tied up in leaving one’s homeland and Paris has done for us, as it has for so many before us. She joins me today to talk about her path to Paris, why it was the right place to settle at this point in her life, and the importance of building community to withstand the toughest of times.

147: Back to class with Siham Jibril of Off Campus Paris Lindsey Tramuta 2025-05-22 | Diehard fans of Paris already know there’s never been a shortage of activities to fill one’s intellectual and cultural cup. Art openings, talks and conferences, concerts and performances happen every day of the week. But if you’re interested in learning in a classroom setting without going back to school in the traditional sense, the options dry up. That’s where Off Campus (https://www.offcampus.fr/) steps in. It’s a two-month-old coffee shop and bookstore launched by two friends that has a special room dedicated to classes for adults.

145: Curiosities in Paris with Messy Nessys Vanessa Grall Lindsey Tramuta 2025-04-01 | In the canon of Paris narratives, few focus on oddball finds and secrets lurking right beneath our noses. But Vanessa Grall, more commonly known and Messy Nessy, has made it her calling card. For more than a decade she has sussed out offbeat tales and fascinating individuals who have shaped our world and published several guidebooks to help travelers get beyond the obvious.

144: On the Louvres Fashion Focus with Amy Verner Lindsey Tramuta 2025-03-06 | So far, the year in Paris has been bright — at least in a cultural sense. The Louvre Museum is leading the charge with its very first full-fledged fashion exhibition in its 232-year history.

143: Are Parisians still drinking? Wine talk with Alicia Dorey Lindsey Tramuta 2025-02-20 | Like many people living in France, I took a break from alcohol during the imported milestone of Dry January. But we’re in February, and two wine fairs have brought wine lovers and wine pros to the city for talks, tastings, and buying. Wine consumption has been dropping steadily in France, and sales have declined since the 1970s. So what’s happening here? How are people drinking? Are they drinking? What’s the status of natural wine today? Where should people go to drink well in Paris if they’re going to do so? I'm joined by Alicia Dorey, a wine journalist who writes regularly for Le Figaro, to talk about the ins and outs of wine consumption.Mentioned in this episode: Alicia Dorey (instagram.com/alicia_dorey_/?hl=en) Alicia's book A Nos Ivresses (editions.flammarion.com/a-nos-ivresses/9782080413178) Austrian wine pop-up in Paris (starwinelist.com/wine-event/le-austria-wine-pop-up) Les Caves Legrand (caves-legrand.com) Vivant (vivantparis.com) and Déviant (https://deviant.paris/) Augustin Marchand d'Vins (augustinmarchand.com) Audio production & editing: Matthew JordanMusic by Little Glass Men (open.spotify.com/artist/2tN1yaI92oCfJUb2HASUre%E2%81%A0%C2%A0)

141: Finding community & the unexpected in Paris with Catherine Down Lindsey Tramuta 2024-12-07 | This month is my 18th December living in Paris, and as I reflect on that time, I’m struck by how much the city still enchants and surprises me. It might be a buzzy neighborhood, a refurbished historical marvel like Notre Dame, a dining experience, or something more unexpected. Someone in the business of sussing out and building such experiences, including some I have attended, is today’s guest Catherine Down.

140: The Seine Rivers Past & Present with Mary Winston Nicklin Lindsey Tramuta 2024-11-23 | In times of turmoil, we naturally seek sources of calm. And in Paris, perhaps nothing that recenters Parisians more than the Seine. The city’s most iconic waterway has shaped its mythology long before there were tourist boats and selfie-taking travelers. Today, the significance of the Seine is front and center again, thanks to the Olympics and a billion-euro cleanup project. To talk about this, I’m joined by my friend and fellow journalist Mary Winston Nicklin, who reported National Geographic’s cover story on the Seine earlier this year.

139: On Arabic in France with journalist Nabil Wakim Lindsey Tramuta 2024-10-28 | Did you know that Arabic is the second most spoken language in France? However, the way it is perceived and taught has led many Arabic speakers in France to either abandon the language or not pass it down to their children. It’s this particular experience that the journalist Nabil Wakim sought to investigate in his documentary for France 2, Mauvaise Langue. He joins the show to talk about the project, what has been done, or not done, politically to boost Arabic instruction and France’s relationship with the Arabic language.Mentioned in this episode:Nabil Wakim, Le Monde (https://www.lemonde.fr/signataires/nabil-wakim/ ) L’Arabe pour Tous book (seuil.com/ouvrage/l-arabe-pour-tous-nabil-wakim/9782021434491 ) Mauvaise Langue documentary (about:invalid#zCSafez) Najat Vallaud-Belkacem, (instagram.com/najatvb/?hl=en ) former minister of education under François Hollande Audio production & editing: Matthew JordanMusic by Little Glass Men (open.spotify.com/artist/2tN1yaI92oCfJUb2HASUre%E2%81%A0%C2%A0)

The Global Impact of Paris as Fashions Capital (Part 1) Lindsey Tramuta 2023-09-25 | Every season, all eyes are on the Parisian runways as onlookers try to get a peak at what big and disruptive trends await for the following year. But few know about the history of how this industry came to be, the role of colonialism in its development, and how the industry upholds many of the same ideas and practices today. As you will discover, the legacy of colonialism lives on within the fashion industry, and not only in France. You’re going to hear from a fashion historian, environmental journalists, and activists who will help me unpack the darker side to la mode, why it’s crucial to amend old ways and correct for generations of unethical labor and overproduction, and what the idea of decolonizing fashion really means.

On Lebanese food in Paris, dining, and career shifts with chef Rita Higgins Lindsey Tramuta 2023-07-27 | Of all the cuisines that have had a presence in Paris but always deserved to be more prominent, Lebanese cooking ranks high among them. France is home to the largest Lebanese diaspora in Europe so it’s no surprise that key dishes and ingredients are familiar to many diners. But most establishments hew to classics— that is until the opening of Kubri on the rue Amelot at the end of last year that has lent a creative, contemporary twist. That’s thanks to today’s guest and tremendously talented chef, Rita Higgins. We talk about her foray into food, how she updates Lebanese cooking for Paris, and why she thinks it’s been such a hit with Parisian diners.
