Episode 20: Back to the Land with Lise Kvan and Eric Montéleon

The latest trend in Paris? Leaving Paris! There’s been an influx of Parisians decamping to the countryside or smaller French cities like Montpellier or Bordeaux. Driven by a desire to return to the land, step away from the frenetic urban pace, lower cost of living or simply explore parts unknown, this exodus is on the rise. Today’s guests are chefs Lise Kvan and Eric Montéleon who left Paris with a mission to uncover the people and places preserving traditional farming, baking, argiculture, winemaking and more. It’s called Bon Fond.
