The English words warranty and guarantee both come from the French garantie, but French has a word English doesn't: garant. To explore what this word means, Emily is joined by fellow PUR host Gail Boisclair. Her work as a property manager in Paris will help us shine a light on how the necessity of a garant reflects an innate French trust in people over data... and a bit of a tendency to resist change. parisundergroundradio.com/parisestateofmind perfectlyparis.com Join us on Patreon: patreon.com/parisundergroundradio Find Us Online Website: https://www.parisundergroundradio.com/navigatingthefrench Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/parisundergroundradio Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/parisundergroundradio/ Credits - Host: Emily Monaco. @Emily_in_France; Website: http://www.tomatokumato.com and http://www.emilymmonaco.com Producer: Jennifer Geraghty. @jennyphoria; Website: http://jennyphoria.com Music Credits Édith Piaf - La Vie en Rose (DeliFB Lofi Remix) 🎵 MSKD Sounds: ↪︎https://www.instagram.com/mskd_sounds/ ↪︎https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRql... ↪︎https://soundcloud.com/mskd_sounds 🎵 DeliFB: ↪︎https://www.youtube.com/c/DeliFB ↪︎https://soundcloud.com/delifb ↪︎https://www.instagram.com/cativo.kevin/ ↪︎https://twitter.com/DeliciousFB About Us From one Emily in Paris to another... just speaking French isn't enough to understand the intricacies of the locals, but it's definitely a good place to start. Famously defended by armed "immortals" of the Académie Française (no, we're not making this up) the French language is filled with clues that show interested outsiders what, exactly, makes the French tick. Each episode, listen in as Emily Monaco and an expert take a deep dive into a word that helps us gain a keener understanding of the French.
