A Trip To Medieval France And The City Of Angouleme
You've probably never heard of it, but Angouleme is the capital of the Charente region in southwest France, and if you're a fan of history, art and architecture then it’s one to put on your French bucket list.
You almost feel like you’re stepping back in time as the architecture is a fusion of Mediaeval and Renaissance, with a bit of Parisian glamour thrown in for good measure.
It can trace its history all the way back to the Iron Age but it was Isabella of Angouleme who really put the town on the French map.
So join me as we take a step back in time and discover this hidden gem in the depths of rural France.

Frenchy Vibes and FrancoFile Stories From Australia to France
Ever wondered how you can be a dedicated Francophile whilst living on the other side of the world in Australia, meet my second guest, Loulabelle of Loulabelle’s FrancoFiles
She’s a rather special guest because she’s the host of another podcast with a show all about France. We’re doing a swap and guesting on each other’s podcast so we can both share our stories.
Loulabelle is an Aussie who loves all things French and is living in my old stomping ground of Melbourne - yes I lived in Australia for ten years before moving to France, so I loved chatting all things France, and Australia, and hearing Loulabelle share her knowledge of places I haven’t been to, as well as some I have. She’s entertaining and has so many fab stories to share with you all.
