LanguaTalk Slow French: Learn French With Gaëlle | French podcast for A2-B1

In this episode, Gaelle talks about a historical place she discovered in the North-East of France, near Belgium: the Familistère de Guise.

You will discover who was behind this idealistic project and what kind of society they hoped to create, in the midst of the brutal 19th century - when the working class was living in indecent and terrible conditions.

La ville de Grass et l’industrie des parfums

In this episode, Gaelle talks about Marjane Satrapi, an Iranian-French artist who died in June 2026, at the age of 57.

Her professional career and personal life both deserve some praise as she was a strong female voice fighting against a tyrannic regime.
