Description

🎙 Last week we talked about the Académie française, so what’s best this week than talking about one of the recipients of their poetry award: Georges Brassens. In a few days, it’ll be 100 years that Georges was born in the small town of Sète in the South of France. His career as a singer and poet has been an inspiration to many over the years. And it is hard not to succumb to his wisdom and casualness. Lots of Brassens celebrations planned in France this month!
