This is a join us in France episode 244.

Bonjoure I'm Annie Sergeant and join us in France is a podcast where you'll hear

well pragmatic advice for your next trip to France.

And hopefully you'll get inspired to go beyond Paris

and enjoy the rest of France too, which is exactly what we're doing today.

On the podcast, I invite travel enthusiasts

and Franco files such as my guest, Ali Rodriguez,

to join me for a conversation about how their trip went,

what they loved, what they didn't like as much, and what they want to recommend.

Join us in France is a listener supported podcast, take a listen and if you like what you hear, I would
