Party with Liz Ep. 2

Come party with Liz (@lizbelike) (@thelocalnose_) ! In the second episode I sit down with Liz, a French-Canadian, who grew up between Paris and the USA.A fascinating conversation ensues which begins with a discussion of the differences between French and American culture and what it's like growing up French in America (for some, a dream and for others, a nightmare!). We discuss: botox and beauty care in France, entertaining, French girl fashion essentials (blazers, skirts with stockings, ankle booties but ALWAYS understated) the different types of 'French girls', wine(s), cheeses (a MUST!), restaurants, the 'coconut and peach' theory on French vs American culture and how it manifests in DRAMA, and the Americanization of French dating culture.Places named / Recs:Vintage shopping: Kiliwatch (64 Rue Tiquetonne 75001 Paris ),Boulangerie: Croissant, Pan au Chocolat, and Thon-Crudités (aka a Tuna Sandwich)Fromage: Ossau Iraty (traditional cheese from the Basque region made from sheep's milk, recommended with a cherry compote), Le Beaufort (from Savoie), Comté (classique)Wine: Camille & Mathieu Apffel Rouzan Blanc.
