Comment commence l’été des filles ? (French Teenage Summer Life) — jeudi 9 juillet 2026

Épisode de One Thing In A French Day | Stories from Paris in French par French with Laetitia Perraut · 9 juillet 2026 · 4 min

C'est l’été : le rythme change à la maison. Que font les filles cet été?

This episode is in French because it's a slice of real, everyday family life — not a scripted lesson, but the kind of natural, spontaneous storytelling that French learners rarely get access to. If you want to hear how a French family actually talks about summer plans, exams, and daily life, this episode is for you.

Level: B1-B2. Much of the vocabulary here is everyday and accessible — jobs, weather, family updates — but the episode also touches on more elevated register when discussing Lisa's baccalauréat exam and French literature spanning two centuries, from Graffigny's 18th-century Lettres d'une Péruvienne to Baudelaire's 19th-century prose poems, giving learners exposure to both conversational and more literary French in a single episode.

Curious how the rest of the family navigated the infamous French bac exam? Dive into these related episodes:
