Pardon Your French — Episode: Petit à Petit
This week, France reminded us who’s really in charge.
The storm arrived without permission.
Relentless wind. Endless rain. Power outages. Fallen trees. Damage that changed landscapes overnight.
Roofs were torn. Roads were blocked. Homes were shaken. And for many, life paused completely.
In this episode, we talk about what it was like to live through it — the fear, the disruption, the aftermath, and the strange quiet that follows chaos.
But we also talk about something deeper.
How communities show up.
How strangers become neighbours.
How strength isn’t loud — it’s steady.
Because recovery doesn’t happen all at once.
It happens petit à petit.
Little by little.
This is a story of resilience. Of perspective. Of rebuilding — not just structures, but certainty.
Life in France isn’t always postcard-perfect.
Sometimes, it’s raw, unpredictable, and humbling.
And sometimes, storms clear more than just the sky.
Petit à petit.
