La tarte aux cerises (les ep. du 90) Homemade Cherry Tart, Breton Style
About this episode
The episode explores a family trip to Brittany for cherry picking and making a homemade tart, highlighting regional language and culture.
Dans ce deuxième épisode de la série de l’été, on part en Bretagne cueillir des cerises avec Lisa, on fait une tarte, et on croise une Mamie. À vous de trouver où se cache le 90 ! A trip back to Brittany, 2013: cherry picking with my daughter, a homemade tart, and an old neighbor lending me her rolling pin. This episode is a slice of real family life in French – and a little puzzle: can you spot where the number ninety is hiding in the story?Along the way, I pick up something linguistically fascinating: the Mamie speaks with subject-verb inversion, a pattern shaped by a lifetime of speaking Breton. It’s the kind of authentic regional French you won’t find in a textbook. This summer, no pen, no notebook – just listening and speaking. Subscribers receive a podcast letter with this episode: a question to think about before pressing play, cultural markers to go deeper into the episode, three everyday expressions to say out loud, and a comprehension question to answer once you’ve heard the whole story. A different way to make progress in French. D’autres épisodes à écouter aujourd’hui :2499 — Courses gourmandes et littéraires — pour prolonger le plaisir gourmand…
