French word of the day: Emploi du temps (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As any French person with kids knows, the start of the New Year isn’t January 1st, but rather September 1st. Also known in France as the rentrée!Sadly there are no fireworks or champagne, only a boatload of school forms and extracurricular activities to navigate, as well as a stack of work stuff everyone put off over the summer. Boo-urns.We got off to a bit of a confused start this school year because my oldest is now in middle school. In France, like in North America, middle school involves cha

Read excerpt
We are in our 3rd extended heatwave of summer (l'été) without aircon) and the French football (soccer) team just lost in the semi-finals of the World Cup. Not the greatest of Bastille 14 Juillet days, this past Tuesday, I must say. It is the summer of discontent here in France, with a few months remaining before the 2027 Presidential election, so there’s plenty of political manoeuvering that we all want to just ignore.
