About
I have been teaching French and organizing weekly conversations since 2010 in New York, Los Angeles and London. I am a native French-speaker fascinated by the culture and history of France and the francophone world. Eager to share opinion, ideas and knowledge with the francophile world online.

French Conversation (INTERMEDIATE - B1)
·OnlineOnlineLEVEL: INTERMEDIATE - B1 — 12pm PT / 3pm ET
💌 Which fragrance would you pick for a postal stamp? 👃✨ - Stamp enthusiasts, did you know that the French postal service began issuing scented stamps in 2009? Scents included croissant, chocolate, bread, lavender, and even fresh-cut grass to celebrate football. This year, the spotlight is on the Fragonard perfume house, hailing from the town of Grasse. Taking this fun fact as a starting point, let’s take a moment to look back at the perfume industry and its history…
