Ep 70 -Navigating “Brûlée” with Marie DeGross
Listen now
Description

She's here to explore what makes the Paris Fire Brigade stand out on a national – and international – stage. https://www.instagram.com/millemercismarie/ https://www.primevideo.com/detail/Notre-Dame-br%C3%BBle/0HYVXHHF99PUTAEBCSTHOMOU8O 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/  a...
