Bonjour tout le monde,
Presque Parisiennes Podcast is a show about life and culture in Paris, from the perspectives of two foreigners living here.
We are your co-hosts. Dilara, born in Izmir Turkey, who moved to Paris in 2013 for work and is currently living in the 12th arrondissement. Kelly, born in Glasgow Scotland, who moved to Paris in 2017 to open a new chapter in her life and is currently living in Kremlin-Bicêtre.
In this podcast, we’ll be talking about everything about Paris and France, from our own perspectives as foreigners who try to adapt to this city. Throughout the show, by covering various topics, we will try to tackle the question of what is being a Parisian. Instead of staying on the surface of cliches and stereotypes we’ll have deep and real talks about living abroad, cultural differences, work, life, culture and many more topics.

Avis
Love it!
As a French Parisien, I thought this podcast wouldn't teach me anything new but I'm surprised! Every episode has interesting facts, historical and cultural information. It's not boring at all, it's fun to listen. I definitely recommend it!
Totally recommend this podcast
I moved to Paris about 5 years ago and I can relate so much to everything that Dilara and Kelly talks about in this podcast as an immigrant. The examples, the anecdotes are so real! They have a great perspective, it’s well researched, I’m learning so much about Paris and French culture through this podcast, thank you to you both!
A fresh angle on Paris
Each episode is a very enjoyable dialogue between a Turk and a Scot, all about Paris. At first glance it seems to be about living in the city of lights, but it’s actually so much more. It covers history, culture, language, and yes, great tips for new arrivals. The editing is so slick you don’t even notice it. It just sounds like fun, well-structured and well-informed repartee between two lovey ladies. Highly recommend.
