Welcome to a very special episode of my podcast — one that’s close to my heart. In this episode, we take a deep, personal dive into the world of French polar — those dark, moody crime films that blend existential tension with gritty police drama and unforgettable characters.

But this isn’t just a lesson in vocabulary or film history. Today, I’m joined by someone very special: mon papa.

My father is a true cinéphile, a lifelong lover of le polar français. Together, we explore the directors who shaped his cinematic world. We revisit his all-time favorite films like Le Cercle Rouge, Le Deuxième Souffle — stories of quiet criminals, doomed friendships, and smoky streets at midnight.

This episode is a deeply personal conversation about how cinema becomes a language of its own between generations. It’s about storytelling, memory, and how sharing a film can mean sharing a piece of yourself.

So sit back, tune in, and let us take you through the rain-soaked alleys of French noir, guided by a father’s passion — and his child’s curiosity.

Welcome to the 7th episode of Le Petit Podcast

- In English 🇬🇧
In today's episode, I have the pleasure of introducing you to two dear friends of mine, Manue and Mathieu, who came all the way from my hometown in Lorraine, France, to share a few days (and stories) with us.

After many takes, I finally decided to publish this version… because, full disclosure: we recorded this episode after an aperitif and got a little carried away 🥳 — between catching up, laughing, and a few slips of the tongue. But that’s what makes it real, right?

We talk about the challenges of traveling without speaking the language, how children learn foreign languages so naturally, and how these little adventures can open the door to new dreams — like exploring more of the world.

So sit back, enjoy the laughter, and don’t mind the occasional fork of the tongue. And if you missed the last episode about how ChatGPT can become your French learning companion, I warmly invite you to give it a listen right after this one. 😉🤘

- In French 🇫🇷
Dans cet épisode, j’ai le plaisir de vous présenter deux êtres qui me sont très chers : Manue et Mathieu, venus tout droit de mon village natal en Lorraine pour passer quelques jours avec nous.

Après plusieurs prises, j’ai finalement décidé de publier celle-ci… car pour être honnête, on a enregistré cet épisode après un petit apéritif et on s’est un peu laissés emporter 🥳. Entre les éclats de rire, les souvenirs et quelques fourches langagières… eh bien, nous restons vraix !
On parle de ce que ça fait de voyager sans parler la langue du pays, de la facilité avec laquelle les enfants apprennent les langues étrangères, et de ce que ces expériences peuvent éveiller comme nouvelles envies d’exploration.

Alors installez-vous confortablement, profitez de la bonne humeur, et ne prêtez pas trop attention aux petites maladresses. 😉🤘
