The This is the

This is Join Us in France episode 502 Saint-Sondeu

Bonjou, I'm Annie Sergeant and join us in France is the podcast where we take a conversational

journey through the beauty, culture and flavors of France.

Today I bring you a conversation with Ignacio Martinez about how he became French and what drew him to France.

Today is July 14th, Arfat Nationale or Bastille Day, and I couldn't think of a better episode for today because you'll see Ignacio is just great.

My own husband is about to become French, and by the way, when you become French you generally don't have to stop being whatever nationality you were born with.

Just kind of cool.

Perhaps some of you would also like to embark on such an adventure? Stay tuned. This podcast is supported by donors

and listeners who by my tours and services, including my itinerary consult service, my

GPS self-guided tours of Paris on the Voicemap app, or take a day trip

with me around the southwest of France in my electric car.

For the magazine part of the podcast after the interview today, I'll share my thoughts on the

French election because frankly, that's all anybody's talking about but I'll

also give you a very important update about how to access the banks of the Sen River starting

on July 18th. It is 12 days until the start of the Paris Olympics

after the release of this episode. It's really happening folks.

Bonjou, Ignacio Martinez, and welcome to join us in France. Bajo, thank you, thank you very much.
