Hello there, you are listening to the Yearful Tower podcast. My name's Oliver G. And if you're new around here,

this is a weekly show where I typically talk to guests about Paris, about France, try and figure out this country, and shine my own light on the people who make the city of light shine.

And today is exactly that. I've got a great guest.

It's Veronique from France with, I mean, if you're Australian like me, you'd say France with Verro,

but I suppose it's France with Verro. It's an online community. She's been doing it for years.

I'm looking now. She has over 25,000 Facebook followers. She must know community she's been doing it for years i'm looking now she has over 25 000 facebook

followers she must know what she's talking about in fact of course she does and what i like about her

is she is french and she's doing it in english so you know there's a lot of people out there

who are sharing paris who are foreigners like myself but vero is the real

deal and we've been friends for a long time it was great to get the chance to chat with her

and in this episode I asked her if she would sort of not really debunk but more give us all

a crash course in the French ritual known as Aperot. So if you're lost already,

that's fine. I'll set the scene in layman's terms. Having an Aperot with someone is like

kind of having an after work drink or something. But it's almost sacred here. And I never really

got into it. I never really understood it.

But after hearing Vero talking about it,

I think I, and maybe you guys as well,

will be getting a little bit deeper into it.

More on Vero and more on our chat in a second.

First, this show doesn't have a sponsor.

It's brought to you by the listeners,

the lovely listeners, people who think,
