by Paige Donner

This episode of Paris GOODfood+wine is dedicated to Paris. Especially to the families, loved ones and friends of the innocent lives that were taken and injured #solidarité in the November 13^th attacks here. It's impossible to imagine the pain they are in and the grief they will have to overcome to pick up the pieces of shattered lives.

Paris is a small city. There isn't a one of us who wasn't affected directly or indirectly. Whether that means we lost a friend, colleague, relative or loved one, or know someone who did. On France's declared Day of Remembrance, I went out to the site of Le Petit Cambodge and Le Carillon to pay my respects to my fellow Parisians.

The world is also a small place. And we must all ask ourselves, any of us who is a mother, a son, a brother, sister, father or daughter, where will this end? What will it take to live in a world where this kind of violence does not exist?

Courageously, for if the French are anything, they are courageous, as are their allies around the world, the Cop21 talks about climate change and environmental resolutions are still being held here just outside the city. To respect that global initiative, Paris GOOD food + wine is running an interview I did last year with the Cellar Master, Gilles Descotes, of the esteemed champagne house, Bollinger.

In this interview he discusses the certification of Haute Valeur Environnementale which is an agricultural certification that imposes best practices in regards to the environment and, in this case, viticulture.

Episode 11 Paris GOOD food + wine

posted by Paige Donner

In this episode of Paris GOODfood+wine for November 2015 we'll be hearing all about ways in which the centuries' strong Franco-American relations are deepening.

L'Hermione Frigate

The golden nugget of this episode is an interview with members of the 1855 Bordeaux Grands Crus Classés organization telling us about their participation in supporting the reconstructed replica of the Frigate, called L'Hermione, that the Marquis de Lafayette, who we Americans call our French Founding Father, sailed to the United States on in 1780.

L'Hermione is the 3-masted 32 gun frigate that carried Lafayette to New York's harbor in 1780 when he was bringing good news to the American Independence fighters: his King and the sovereign nation of France would support us militarily.

This last summer, July 1 2015, a replica of the frigate arrived in New York's harbor with much fanfare and also with the support of the Castine Historical Society (http://www.castinehistoricalsocietyhermione.org/) the non-profit dedicated to keeping this history alive in our memories today.

The New York Times documented the frigate's arrival last summer by noting in their July 1^st edition, " THE last time a boat sailed into New York Harbor bearing the Marquis de Lafayette, ...

The year was 1824, and some 50,000 people — roughly a third of New York's population — lined the streets for a glimpse of Lafayette, the "French founding father," who was visiting the United States as part of a 13-month triumphal tour of the nation he had helped liberate nearly a half-century earlier.

We'll also be hearing from a young author, mother and Parisienne, Clotilde Dusoulier, who takes us through some of the colorful idiomatic French expressions that she documented in her newest book, Edible French. Clotilde is the founder of the popular culinary blog, Chocolate & Zuchini, which she writes in both English and French.

To round off this segment, I'll be introducing you, formally this time, to our featured restaurant reviewer from Episode 10, namely Gilles Pudlowski. Pudlo, as he refers to himself, has a 25 year history as a culinary journalist and restaurant critic here in France. He'll also be telling us about his content-rich blog he launched 5 years ago now.

So sit back and enjoy another half-hour of Paris GOODfood+wine with me, your host and producer, Paige Donner.
