In this episode, Gaelle talks about a historical place she discovered in the North-East of France, near Belgium: the Familistère de Guise. The only social utopia that was actually set up (and not just dreamed about) and that worked for over a century! You will discover who was behind this idealistic project and what kind of society they hoped to create, in the midst of the brutal 19th century - when the working class was living in indecent and terrible conditions.Check out Langua, a cutting-edge AI platform to help you become fluent in French: https://languatalk.com/ai-french-tutor?via=gaelle⁠Claim your free trial, and if you like it, save 20% on the annual unlimited plan with code FRENCH20.You can find an interactive transcript for this episode on ⁠Langua⁠, and you can see the vocab list here: ⁠https://languatalk.com/blog/podcast/french?via=frenchpod⁠Looking to learn French fast with a tutor like Gaëlle?
