  • 🎨 1874 marks the birth of this essential artistic movement that is Impressionism. That year, several dissident artists decided to exhibit together their paintings, which were constantly refused at the official Salon of Academic Art. Among these artists, there are Monet, Renoir, Morisot, etc. Without knowing it, their artistic rebellion will be a major turning point in the history of art.

  • ✍️ With masterpieces like “A Barrage Against the Pacific” and “The Lover,” Marguerite Duras made an essential name in 20th-century French literature. By recounting with great sensuality her personal and romantic experiences in French Indochina, she became one of the founders of the “Nouveau Roman” style which has indelibly influenced contemporary literature.Join this week's conversation on https://www.frenchconversationgroup.comRelated episodes: Léopold Sédar Senghor (https://youtu.be/w-jrpidCVLQ), Agnès Varda (https://youtu.be/rU1sxx23W6I)🔗 (fr) Quand Paris Match retrouvait l’amant de Marguerite Duras: https://www.parismatch.com/Culture/Livres/Marguerite-Duras-amant-photo-1646832🎵 Soundtrack: https://open.spotify.com/artist/6i4JjGSsId4CCCVkJuwLHa?si=K0d8KhxkSqqAPq8_kw5XqQ☝️ If you enjoyed this episode, please consider:- supporting on https://www.patreon.com/frenchconversationgroup or https://anchor.fm/frenchconversationgroup- subscribe and share🇫🇷 French Conversation Group meets weekly in Los Angeles, New York or online.

  • 🧀 A white winter evening. Breathtaking views of hundreds of miles of moonlit Alpine mountains. Inside a chalet, a fireplace crackles while heating a wheel of cheese. The cheese, barely melted, flows delicately into a plate of potatoes and cold meats. This is what a normal raclette party looks like in the Alps. Sounds nice? Have you experienced it? Come talk with us about your ideal evening in the mountains, with or without raclette. (Subtitles are available in French and English by clicking on the CC button on the YouTube control bar).

  • 🕶️ Alain Delon played the role of Caesar in one of the film adaptations of Astérix. For a reason. Alain Delon speaks of himself with the third-person pronoun, Alain Delon is the emperor of French cinema, Alain Delon is… Alain Delon. Raised for six decades as a cinema icon alongside Brigitte Bardot or other celebrities like Marlon Brando, James Dean, etc. Delon is still looking for the role that will end his career at the top.

  • 🧀 What is there to say about cheese, other than the fact that it is delicious and that it makes you smile on pictures? Well, a lot obviously. Where does it come from? What is a good cheese?

  • 👑 Cruel, legendary, violent, powerful, intelligent. So many adjectives that could be attributed to this mythical figure. Clovis was real for sure, but we actually don't know much about him due to a great lack of written sources from the late 5th century AD. Anything can be said about him, especially if it helps to found the history of the French monarchy on heroic foundations. One thing is certain, though, he is the pivotal figure between Roman Gaul and medieval France.

  • 👨‍🎨 High among the great masters of French painting, there is Eugène Delacroix. Born in Paris in 1798, he is one of the leaders of Romanticism. But that's not all, following a life-changing trip to Morocco at the age of 34, Delacroix also became one of the important figures of Orientalism, that 19th-century artistic movement fascinated by (what Europeans saw as) Eastern cultures.

  • 🧐 France is probably the country in the world that hosts the most philosophers per square meter. And for the best. There are so many questions with no right or wrong answer that need to be asked. One of them is whether advice should be given to people or whether they should be free to make their own mistakes. With the help of Aristotle, Akhlaghi and Athos from The Three Musketeers, we're going to try and give it a shot for ourselves this week.

  • 🏰 Every year on July 14, France celebrates its national day, known in English as "Bastille Day". But what exactly is the so-called "Bastille"? Or should we say "was" because it no longer exists. It was a prison and a fortress in the heart of Paris, which the revolutionaries besieged, seized and destroyed from July 14, 1789, marking the beginning of the French Revolution.

  • 🎥 Alongside the Lumière brothers and other big names in early French cinema such as Léon Gaumont, there is Alice Guy. With more than 700 short films, she was a major figure in the early ages of the seventh art. With films like "La Fée aux choux", she defined an era, both in France and in the United States. Yet, she (and her work) mysteriously disappeared from the records about a century ago, only to reappear in the 21st century.
