We'll Always Have ParisNapoleon and Marie-LouiseMerry Christmas! This week, we break our Austrian accents out to bring you the story of Napoleon I and Marie-Louise. What's that? Never heard of her? There may be a reason for that...let's just say that some of the Paris love stories this week have happier endings than others. 2023-12-211h 14We'll Always Have ParisNapoleon and JosephineWelcome to a very special episode: part one of two in our Napoleon Bonaparte series! This week, Nafkote tells us the true story behind Napoleon and Josephine’s relationship. But first, we dive into the phenomenon of the celebrity power couple, trying to hook ourselves up with the ideal matches to dominate the world. Chris and Nafkote refuse to play Rachel’s game of pretending they are Colleen Hoover and insist on playing the role of Zadie Smith. Which was not the game. 2023-12-141h 13We'll Always Have ParisHenry V and Catherine de ValoisGive Rachel a history assignment and she will RUN with it. This week on We'll Always Have Paris, she, Nafkote, and Chris discuss The King (2019)--but first, we pitch products to GOOP, run through the Hundred Years' War and the War of the Roses (with many an Americanization of place names that the British inventened only to trick people), and cover Shakespeare's Henriad so that we can fully understand the subtleties of why this movie that probably should have worked didn't, quite. 2023-12-071h 33We'll Always Have ParisChristian DiorThis week, Rachel and Chris dive into the world of Christian Dior: both America’s romance with French fashion (and the New Look in particular), and the designer’s late romance with a younger singer. Chris attempts to describe key New Look clothes as Rachel explains how France invented itself as the world’s fashion capital, briefly had its place questioned, and finally—on Dior’s non-padded shoulders—emerged triumphant.
Due to a technical glitch, the sound quality is spotty at times. We apologize for the hassle, and thanks for bearing with us!

She delves into the lives of painter Lois Mailou Jones and author Chester Himes, explaining what Paris was--and wasn't--able to give them in their artistic practice that wasn't available in the United States. Tangents from the team abound, and you'll learn why Michelin-starred restaurants just might not make the best life partners.
Sutanya Dacres is a New Yorker living in Paris. She is the author of the memoir, Dinner for One: How Cooking in Paris Saved Me...2023-11-231h 21We'll Always Have ParisMa Nuit Chez Maud (My Night at Maud's)In this week's episode, Chris and Naf accidentally leave Paris for the winter charms of Clermont-Ferrand and Eric Rohmer's 1969 Nouvelle Vague masterpiece Ma Nuit Chez Maud (My Night at Maud's). Opinions differ as they discuss Pascal's Wager, Catholicism, and exactly what constitutes a car chase. Join us for a conversation about a film with a lot of conversation, and find out why even when people are at their most articulate, they're not always saying what they mean. 2023-11-161h 43We'll Always Have ParisJean Paul Sartre and Simone de BeauvoirThis week, Chris, Naf, and Rachel dive into the unconventional relationationship between Jean Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir, two intellectuals who (what else?) challenged societal norms and traditional notions of love. Chris tells us about their relationship, characterized by an open arrangement that allowed for extramarital affairs. Unsurprisingly, their unconventional practices, including seducing young women, have been subjects of controversy and criticism. Find out what we think this week on We'll Always Have Paris!2023-11-091h 22We'll Always Have ParisAn American in ParisIn this week's episode, Chris, Naf, and Rachel delve into the themes of love, creativity, and the captivating allure of Paris. Join us as we explore how the city has changed our own writing (some of us have gone from jaded New Yorkers to jaded Parisians, which is...better?). Then, we take a look at Vincente Minelli's 1951 "classic," An American in Paris. Um...it has its moments? But that 17-minute ballet isn't one of them. See if you agree with us on this week's episode of We'll Always Have Paris.2023-11-021h 09We'll Always Have ParisBrigitte BardotThis week, Chris and Naf dive into the rich and complicated star text of Brigitte Bardot. Without Rachel. How dare they. (Webmaster: revealed!)
Brigitte Bardot, or "BB" as the French affectionately call her, captivated audiences with her beauty and charisma in the 1950s and 1960s. From her humble beginnings as a model to becoming a global sex symbol, Bardot's journey in the world of cinema was anything but ordinary. Despite facing criticism and controversy throughout her career, she remained unapologetically herself, challenging societal norms and redefining French femininity. Bardot's portrayal of strong, independent, and sometimes rebellious characters...2023-10-261h 42We'll Always Have ParisWallis Simpson and the Duke of Windsor with Sarah SigalExplore the fascinating love story of Wallace Simpson and King Edward VI with We'll Always Have Paris's VERY FIRST GUEST STAR! Novelist, playwright, and academic Sarah Sigal shares her insights and research into the complicated relationship between Wallace Simpson and King Edward VIII (the Duke of Windsor). From their initial meeting to the abdication of the throne, Siegel sheds light on the dynamics, motivations, and impact of their union. Learn about the scandals, political implications, and struggles they faced along the way (we have THOUGHTS).
A quick correction: Sarah mentions that Edward was born in 1896, but has s...2023-10-191h 01We'll Always Have ParisDangerous Liaisons This week, Chris, Rachel, and Nafkote discuss the summer fling. A media invention? Only true in Grease? We set out some guidelines.
Then, we bring back Sexy SparkNotes (TM) with our readings of Dangerous Liaisons. Rachel accidentally reveals which parts she did and didn't understand based on watching the movies alone, and we basically write your literature paper for you. You're welcome. 2023-10-121h 22We'll Always Have ParisAbelard and HeloiseFor the first episode of Season 2, we do some sexy time traveling back to the 12th century and Paris’s most famous medieval couple: Abelard and Héloïse. But first, we debate the evergreen (and related) question: are professors really sexy?
As always, we’ll round off with a game of Marry/F**k/Kill in which we apply the rules of the classic slumber party game to the main characters of our love story. This week, our choices provide a little more insight than we’d like into our personalities.
