During lockdown, the Countess Marie de Tilly took to TikTok to teach dos and don'ts to the youngest generation of French society. She’s here to discuss a word that evokes some of these rules – and to explore why its innate rigidity might mean a different word is better suited to talking about politeness and respect: étiquette.

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.
