When the south of France doesn’t work

The Pen Friend Paris Christmas Gift Guide 2023

French methods of problem-solving are different

Sundays with the fish mafia

Beelzebub takes the bus

Autumn in earnest

Don’t let the punaises bite

Never befriend a baker

Have you heard the one about the King, the Pope and the President?

Apples and humbugs

‘Walking’ is having a moment

Back to the big buzzing tent

If you don’t get heartburn you're a nobody

‘Holiday’ is an untranslatable word

Uncle Ron, a man of ballet

The mild, lumpy faces of the British

Happy bloody anniversary

Refusal to comply

Unintentional Modernist poem

Cette machine est pour les hommes

Icons and ghosts

Build a pont and get over it

All the bumpy things under the rug

London's best-kept secret

Avoir ses anglais

What 'The French' are really saying

French admin vs. AI

Eating life with a big spoon

Doing well is its own reward

Doing well is its own reward

Native tongues and Popeyes chicken

Cow vs. President

Friendly, tasty, assured

Vive la pharmacie

It’s all going south

Re-bonjour, Friend

When I'm 64

Subjectification

Bread, the fickle kingmaker

Un monde si rude
