    E113 - how to know when to be on time in France ?

    07/10/2026 | 16 mins.
    Do French people have a different relationship with time? 🇫🇷⏰

    In this episode of Ta Vie en Français, I explore one of those invisible cultural rules that can make life in another country surprisingly confusing: how we use and understand time.

    After living in Spain for 11 years, with a Peruvian wife and a multicultural family, I've learned that being "on time" doesn't mean exactly the same thing everywhere. Today, I'll share some funny—and sometimes frustrating—experiences ...

    But most importantly, we'll look at what you can expect when you visit or move to France. When should you arrive? Is being late acceptable? Should you arrive early for dinner? Why do French people like to plan things in advance, but also tell you to "take your time"?

    If you're learning French and interested in French culture, cultural differences and what it's really like to live in France, this episode will help you understand some of the unwritten rules behind the language.

    ------

    Les Français ont-ils une relation différente avec le temps ? 🇫🇷⏰

    Dans cet épisode de Ta Vie en Français, je m’intéresse à l’une de ces règles culturelles invisibles qui peuvent rendre la vie dans un autre pays étonnamment déroutante : notre façon d’utiliser et de comprendre le temps.

    Après avoir vécu 11 ans en Espagne, avec une femme péruvienne et une famille multiculturelle, j’ai appris qu’« être à l’heure » ne signifie pas exactement la même chose partout. Aujourd’hui, je vais partager avec toi quelques expériences amusantes — et parfois frustrantes...

    Mais surtout, nous allons voir à quoi tu peux t’attendre lorsque tu visites la France ou que tu viens y vivre. À quelle heure dois-tu arriver ? Est-ce qu’il est acceptable d’être en retard ? Faut-il arriver en avance à un dîner ? Pourquoi les Français aiment-ils planifier les choses à l’avance, tout en te disant aussi : « Prends ton temps ! » ?

    Si tu apprends le français et que tu t’intéresses à la culture française, aux différences culturelles et à ce que signifie vraiment vivre en France, cet épisode t’aidera à mieux comprendre certaines des règles implicites qui se cachent derrière la langue.

    E111 - My story as a French only child

    23/09/2026 | 19 mins.
    Being an Only Child in France: Was I Really Spoiled?

    When we think of an only child, we often imagine someone spoiled, selfish, unable to share, and always wanting to be the center of attention.

    But is that really the reality?

    In this new episode, I share my story of growing up as an only child in France. I talk about my childhood, my shyness, my difficulty opening up, my relationship with my parents, and my fear of disappointing them. But I also talk about the independence and creativity that growing up as an only child gave me.

    It’s a personal episode, but also a reflection on stereotypes, family, personality, parenting, and the differences between generations.

    Enjoy listening !

    Être fils unique en France : est-ce que j’étais vraiment un enfant gâté ?

    Quand on pense à un enfant unique, on imagine souvent quelqu’un de gâté, égoïste, qui ne sait pas partager et qui veut toujours être au centre de l’attention.

    Mais est-ce vraiment la réalité ?

    Dans ce nouvel épisode, je vous raconte mon histoire de fils unique en France. Je parle de mon enfance, de ma timidité, de ma difficulté à me confier, de ma relation avec mes parents et de ma peur de les décevoir. Mais je parle aussi de l’autonomie et de la créativité que le fait de grandir comme enfant unique m’a apportées.

    C’est un épisode personnel, mais aussi une réflexion sur les clichés, la famille, la personnalité, l’éducation et les différences entre les générations.

    Excellente écoute !
