Let’s follow Charles Trénet to 1940s Paris… Our inspiration? His iconic “Douce France.” Everyone loves to play the song and hum along, but how many actually know the story behind it? After watching this Apéro, you will!
Join another fun, educational, musical road trip with this French Girl!
Show notes:
– “Douce France” trivia: Even if Charles Trénet wrote the song during WWII (1943,) he was not the first artist to record it. If you want to understand why Charles is the perfect artist to learn French pronunciation with, check out this live performance in the 1960s! What a guy!
– Intro soundtrack: Maurice Chevalier.
– Tonight’s Apéro:
Chèvre (goat cheese selection: “Selles sur Cher,” “Le Tricorne,”)
