Bonjour, I’m Annie Sargent — tour guide and host of the Join Us in France Travel Podcast.

I love helping visitors discover my favorite corners of France. After spending many years living abroad, I came back with fresh eyes and a renewed curiosity about my own country — especially the places where French history unfolded and where everyday French culture still thrives.

Because I was born and raised in France, I naturally weave in the little cultural details that bring a place to life — the stories behind the stones, the habits locals don’t even think about anymore, and the context that helps it all make sense.

So lace up your shoes — let’s explore together and enjoy the walk!
