The New Paris Podcast

The literary and artistic ties to Paris run deep. From Hemingway to Stein, Davis to Coates, the city’s appeal is everlasting. Today’s guest continues that legacy. Cody Delistraty, named a young writer of the year by British Vogue, is a cultural critic who talks to Lindsey today about working in Paris, the state of art, and his next big project.

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.

Baron Haussmann, celebrated as one of the greatest urban planners in European history, is credited with having transformed Paris from an overcrowded, dirty and disease-riddled city in the 1840s to a breathable, walkable city with wide, well-lit avenues, cobbled streets, and ashlar buildings with wrought-iron balconies. But there’s more to the Parisian urban landscape than contributions from the 19th century. To talk about urbanism and the changing face of Paris, I chat with Alice Cabaret, a French urban strategist with international experience in the fields of creative industrial reconversion and urban innovation. She is the Founder of The Street Society, a collaborative urban agency based in Paris which promotes innovation in the fields of property development and urban transformation.

Do you know what's in the food you're ordering at restaurants? Where the meat from the supermarket comes from? How the animals you eat were treated on the farms they were reared on? Do you think about the livelihoods of the food artisans producing the goods you regularly consume? These questions are abiding preoccupations today and transparency is now the gold standard of consumption. Today's guest, Charles Guirriec, cofounded Poiscaille as a result. His is a service that connects ingredient-conscious consumers with sustainably-sourced fish at affordable prices, delivered to their doorsteps. We speak about the sustainable and transparent food movement in Paris and beyond. Want to try the service? The New Paris listeners get their first box free when they create an account.

The last time we spoke about innovation in Paris was last year in the run up to the presidential election. Now that Emmanuel Macron has been in office for nine months, we revisit the discussion and look at the state of start-up culture, the creative scene and business development in the capital. Bringing their deep insights on the scene are Liam Boogar, of Rude Baguette and most recently of Algolia, and Abby Klein, founder of the Radical Departures podcast which highlights innovative men and women contributing to France's thriving startup ecosystem.

Artists of all walks of life are a venerated group in Paris and that is especially true for filmmakers. Based in Paris for the last year, American filmmaker, actor and writer, Dan Sickles joins me to kick off season 2 of The New Paris with a discussion on filmmaking in France, following(or not following) the rules, his humanist vision for non-fiction documentaries and the local scene's approach to cinema.

For the finale of season 1 of The New Paris, we're joined by journalist and fellow podcaster Oliver Gee (The Earful Tower) to chat about what drew him to Paris nearly three years ago, what he finds inspiring about the city, and what exactly makes this 'New' Paris so special.

How many times a week do you have a glass of wine? How often do you talk about wine? If you're Parisian, probably quite frequently. For me, it wasn't something I indulged with any regularity until I was researching and writing my book and finally discovered what I enjoyed drinking and knew what sorts of questions to ask. For wine writer, James Beard award winner and author Jon Bonné, it's an abiding preoccupation. On this episode, we speak to him about his new book "The New Wine Rules", the wine scene in Paris and what it's like being in the wine world today.

Paris certainly has no shortage of green spaces, from parks to beautiful squares, but it's only recently that a plant life movement has emerged in the city. To talk about this green and floral boom, Lindsey is joined by Elodie Love, creator of the blog Madame Love, and Judith de Graaf, co-author of the popular book "Urban Jungle: Living and Styling with Plants".
