How does Geoffrey introduce tonight’s French bedtime escape?
Hey, Jeffrey here, and welcome back to Nightfalls. I hope you're all snug as a bug in a rug and all ready to drift off to sleep. First, I wanted to let you know that our first-ever Nightfalls audiobook, Discovering Nightfalls, is now available across Spotify and Audible. It brings together almost eight hours of uninterrupted stories from the falls, designed to help you relax, unwind, and drift off at your own pace. You can find it wherever you get your audiobooks. And if you do listen, we'd be grateful for a review. It really helps us and helps more listeners find Nightfalls. I'm very lucky to have lived in the south of France, in a small Riviera town called Antibes. The town is rich in history, vibrant yet with cosy quiet corners, and has so much to offer.
I would often swim in the sea, have coffee on the beach with a view of the distant mountains, cycle up into the hills, and pop into the Picasso Museum for a bit of culture. It was a wonderful place to live and a glorious time of life, with maybe one too many croissants. In tonight's story, I invite you to curl up and travel to southwestern France on a warm spring day. Here, a woman leaves her everyday life behind to explore the beautiful medieval town of Sarla-la-Canada in the Dordogne. She takes in the sights, smells, and sounds at her leisure, finally discovering her own creative impulses away from the pressure of everyday life. Before we begin, here's the quick ad break that keeps this free content possible.

Did you know that scientific research has found significant links between having a morning mindfulness practice and the quality of your sleep and emotional health? Even just three to five minutes of mindfulness in the morning can reduce your stress hormone levels by up to 25%. This simple habit can meaningfully shift your physiology, your cognitive performance, and your emotional baseline for the entire day. And that's exactly why I make Wake Me Up, the morning podcast filled with mindfulness and positivity practices like affirmations, meditations, breath work, and inspirational talks. It's the perfect morning companion for your favorite sleep podcast. So go check it out now and pick out an episode for the morning.
Just search Wake Me Up in your favorite podcast player for better mornings and a better life.
If you've ever wanted to lose yourself in a land of wizards, goblins, and creatures that really shouldn't be able to talk, somewhere between the tales we tell here and somewhere entirely new, Hello from the Magic Tavern is waiting for you. It's an improvised comedy podcast set in the fantastical land of Foon, hosted by Arnie Niekamp, alongside his co-hosts, Udisor the Wizard and Chunt the Talking Badger. Each episode, they interview the creatures, spellcasters, and adventurers that wander through from throughout the land. A mix of storytelling, improv comedy, and pure absurdity. Find Hello from the Magic Tavern wherever you listen to your podcasts. You know, there are a lot of different places here in Night Falls, but during the day, I still find myself wanting to learn a little more about the world.
That's what led me to Everything Everywhere Daily. It's one of the most popular daily education podcasts, even recently ranked the number one history podcast. And each episode is about 10 minutes, so it's easy to fit into your day. They cover everything from history and science to fascinating people and moments you might never have come across otherwise. Some recent episodes I really liked include one on the history of curling, which as a Scot I have a soft spot for, tracing it back to medieval Scotland. Or their episode on the world's greatest art museums, which I found myself really drawn to. I've always loved art, and hearing the stories behind these places makes it feel surprisingly immersive.
So if you like the idea of learning something new without it ever feeling like work, Learn something new every single day with everything everywhere daily.
