ONE YEAR OF PARDON YOUR FRENCH

I mean… how has that even happened?!

What started as a “shall we just give this a go?” has turned into something so much bigger than we ever imagined.

In one year we’ve: – recorded over 40 episodes

– spoken to some incredible guests

– laughed (a lot)

– learned even more

– and somehow reached listeners in 59 countries and 419 cities… which still blows my mind

But more than anything, this podcast has become about people.

The stories, the honesty, the ups, the downs… the reality of living in France — not just the postcard version.

We’ve built something that feels like a community, not just a podcast. From our Social Circles to the messages, shares, and support — it genuinely means everything.

And behind the scenes? It’s not always easy. Showing up every week, juggling life, kids, work… but we’ve done it. Consistently. Together.

So if you’ve ever listened, shared, been a guest, or supported us in any way…

thank you. Truly.

This is just the beginning.

Here’s to the next chapter…

NEW EPISODE OUT NOW – La Page Blanche

This week on Pardon Your French, we sit down with the wonderful Sarah Tyley for a conversation that’s as inspiring as it is refreshingly real.

From the grounding world of gardening to the beautifully honest pages of her books, including Spaghetti Head, Sarah shares her journey of creativity, growth, and starting again — even when you’re not quite sure where the page will take you.

We talk about: – Finding calm and purpose through gardening

– The story behind her writing

– What it really means to begin again… a blank page, a new chapter

It’s thoughtful, it’s honest, and it’s a reminder that sometimes the most beautiful things grow from the unknown.
