    From the French Countryside to Classical Concerts in Paris, Episode 557
    Aug 3 2025
    Ever wondered what it’s like to explore the French countryside on horseback and by foot? In From the French Countryside to Classical Concerts in Paris, host Annie Sargent chats with Casey and Molly, two sisters who share their recent adventures through rural France. This episode is packed with off-the-beaten-path ideas for travelers who love nature, history, and cultural surprises. Listen to this episode ad-free The sisters didn’t just pass through France—they immersed themselves in it. They stayed at Mas de Peyrelongue, a welcoming equestrian farm where visitors can ride horses "à la carte" while practicing their French with the hosts. For hikers, they found a gem: the Abbey of Sainte-Eulalie Espagnac, a peaceful stop along a local trail where walkers can rest for the night. They also visited the Château d'Ygrande in the Auvergne, a gorgeous countryside retreat with an elegant restaurant—perfect for relaxing in a beautiful natural setting. But their journey didn’t stop there. After their rural adventures, they returned to Paris for a very different kind of experience: a classical concert at Sainte-Chapelle and a stroll through the Marais. This episode is a great listen for travelers looking for slower, more personal ways to enjoy France. Whether you're planning your next trip or just dreaming of France, don’t miss this story.

Thank you for reviewing the history of Avignon as not part of France until 1791. I am doing genealogy research of my French ancestors and discovered that the Vaucluse was also part of the Papal State - called the Comtat Venassin- not France - until 1791. I have been trying to find the history of the life in the Comtat from 1570s forward. I would love to see a podcast about the Comtat Vennaissin.
