What this episode covers
This week we'll continue our miniseries: "A Tour de France": What kind of France exists outside the boundaries of Paris? What kind of France exists in the middle of the countryside? What does someone in Paris have in common with someone in the Pyrenées? How many kinds of French people are there? What makes someone truly "French" anyway? For the next six episodes, we'll be tracing the route of the original Tour de France, traveling through the "in between places" - the vast countryside which traditionally held most of the French population. Beginning in the tiny village of Montgeron, then passing through Lyon, Marseille, Toulouse, Bordeaux, Nantes and finally returning to Paris, we'll be eating, drinking and exploring our way through the nation. On y va! SHOW NOTES: http://www.thelandofdesire.com/2017/12/14/episode-36-a-tou…-france-toulouse/
