In this episode, I take you to New York for Bastille Day, wearing my sandwich board with a question: I’m Looking for the French, Do You Know One?

Through encounters and conversations, I meet French people living abroad and Americans who love France. Between pétanque, food and the unexpected familiarity of hearing French in New York, their stories make me reflect on what we carry with us when we leave home, and what draws us to someone else’s country.

I came looking for the French. Along the way, I found a little bit of home.
