5.3 King Louis XIV of France (pt 1)

In this and the next two episodes of Coffee Pot Conversations, I take a shallow dive through the reign of King Louis XIV - the Sun King - without pretending to be a historian, while still treating history with the respect it demands. Rather than racing through dates, this is an attempt to understand why Louis XIV looms so large over French history, Parisian identity and European power politics - and how his reign shaped everything from war and religion to art, architecture and daily life. This is Louis XIV not as myth, but as mechanism. Coffee Pot Conversations is a slow, reflective podcast about Paris, history, culture, and the unexpected connections that appear when you follow curiosity rather than chronology. It is intentionally non-academic, but never casual with facts.

2.5 L'Avenue des Champs-Élysées à Paris

We take a strange half-way interlude with this episode whereby I go on a handful of tangents to get to the point. Maybe it’s not so strange after all… “La bohème” by Charles Aznavour can be found on Spotify here “Non, je ne regretted rien” by Edit Piaff on Spotify is here “La Vie en rose” sung by Edith Piaff is here on Spotify “La Vie en rose” sung by Ashley Park (directly from Emily in Paris, as opposed to her own single “La Vie en rose” by Emily Watts is here “Sympathique” by Pink Martini can be heard here Strangely, Ashley Park also sang this in Emily in Paris “Waterloo Road” by Jason Crest can be located here “Les Champs-Élysées” by Joe Dassin is here on Spotify My own playlist, “Lazy Parisian Days” can be found here, at lazyparisiandays.anenglishmaninparis.blog For an average read, try ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠An Englishman in Paris blog⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.
