As America marks its 250th birthday, the conversation opens on the moments that laid the foundation for the close relationship the U.S. and France share. From the Marquis de Lafayette, a uniting figure tied to both nations, and his celebrated return tour of the young United States, to this year's slate of celebrations, including flyovers by France's Patrouille de France aerobatic team and a commemorative Lafayette-and-Washington coin.
Kolyn, Lindsey, and Sébastien also break down why travelers should put down the guidebook and wander France's thirteen regions, the culture of terroir, the rivalry between Burgundy and Bordeaux, why the French take their one-hour lunch so seriously, plus the World Cup, French fashion, and more.
