Welcome to The Good Life France Podcast. In this episode – we’re going to sharing with you some of the weird superstitions and wonderful traditions of France!
The French are rather a superstitious bunch – and some of the superstitions are very odd! Got 13 for dinner and think the number 13 is unlucky? Then go French, pop an egg on the table, now you have 14 for dinner! Trod in dog poo and think it’s ruined your day? Non, non, non – in France it could be lucky, depending on which foot did the deed! Want to make a wish come true? Well that’s simple, just find a French sailor, dressed in uniform including the traditional beret with a red bobble on top and give that bobble a twiddle! What? Yes, these and more strange and fabulous superstitions will be discussed in this very fun podcast episode!
We reveal the real France, authentic and sometimes a little weird but always fascinating…
And in the Q&A section we answer a listener’s question – are the seasons different in France from Australia? Well tune in and we’ll tell you plus I’ll explain how it could have been even more different thanks to an absolutely bonkers French Revolution inspired calendar that had 3 week-long months and 10 day- long weeks, plus every single day of the year had a unique name!
