A thoughtful, well-edited glimpse into life in France, with inspiring stories of how people carve out new paths in Paris. Perfect if you're curious about creative careers, expat experiences, and the real-world beauty of building a French life from scratch.
Shelby is a fellow American in Paris with the rare ability to make you laugh out loud and think. Her newsletter Franchement takes everyday moments and turns them into whip-smart cultural commentary—with a side of self-deprecating humor. It’s one of those newsletters I actually read start to finish, every time.
If you love thoughtful explorations of French culture, language, and life beyond Paris, you’ll enjoy French Moments by Pierre Guernier. It’s part travel diary, part cultural deep dive. Rooted in 16+ years of sharing all things French with an international audience. From metro quirks to myth-busting Marie Antoinette quotes, Pierre’s stories are curious, kind, and beautifully researched. Highly recommended if you’re craving a regular dose of France.
