Quelqu'un ici est abonné à Le Monde Diplomatique? Je trouve leur articles très interessants et parce j'ai aucun idée sur l'histoire ou la geopolitique j'aime beaucoup les lire et apprendre sur ces subjects. Je me suis abonné donc je sens que je dois lire tout là.

Pas abonné, mais je le lis de temps en temps à la bibliothèque quand un article attire mon attention. Les analyses sont plutôt situées à gauche de l'échiquier politique.
Dans la même veine, j'aime bien Courrier International qui propose des articles traduits des grands magasines et quotidiens internationaux.

Moi, je suis abonnée à l'hebdomadaire "L'Express", version numérique. Depuis le début de l'année, elle a pris une nouvelle formule. Le nouveau propriétaire voulait lancer un hebdomadaire français sur le modèle britannique "The Economist". Et il a très bien réussi ! De plus, j'ai maintenant environ 5 heures d'audio par semaine avec un contenu vraiment intéressant et varié, car tous les articles sont lus à voix haute.
@lusan: You may also have a look at the books of Franck Thilliez and Olivier Norek.

Est-ce que vous connaîssez un journal sur la geopolitique qui est situé a la droite? Je voudrais entendre plusieurs avis sur ce qui se passe dans notre monde. Je viens de jeter un coup d'oeil a le Courrier International et il semble être un très bon resource. Merci

Season 3 of Les Petits Meurtres d'Agatha Christie is going to be set in the 1970s
https://apac.tv5monde.com/blog/en/inter ... a-christie
https://www.premiere.fr/Series/News-Ser ... a-saison-3
https://youtu.be/8NtPsUkcCwE
The following season will be set in 1971 with new characters. The 1970s were just as exciting, with futuristic interior design, geometry, and clothing ranging from ultra-sexy (the miniskirt) to very old-fashioned (long-point collars). What makes it even more interesting is that it was the height of machismo with a patriarchal, masculine vision of society – one that is still subtly present today. As a result, our main character is France’s first female police commissioner.

Re: Le groupe français 2016 - 2019 Les Voyageurs
Hi! I'd love to become a member of this thread/group. I'm still a beginner in French, but I'm making progress surprisingly fast because of its close resemblance to the Spanish language (my mother tongue). I'm quite interested in French history and literature, and live only an hour away from the French border, so I'm extremely motivated to learn it well in the coming years

Re: Le groupe français 2016 - 2019 Les Voyageurs
I ended up reading a three book series of Comtesse de Ségur a few weeks ago:
Les Malheurs de Sophie
Les Petites Filles modèles
Les Vacances
Great French novels for those just beginning to read as the grammar and word choice are very basic and meant for children, though the books are full length novels (200-400 pages). They were written in the mid 1800s and capture the lives of an aristocratic family. I loved the last two of these books the most.
Just finished Après la pluie, le beau temps de Comtesse de Ségur (400 pages) last night. Since people seem to like pictures and samples, as I do, I'll post two from this book:
It's the pictures that make these old books so unique and interesting. There are 128 illustrations in this book. Most new novels don't have any pictures or very few at most. Also, I find the general layout to be a great use of space and pleasing to the eye while at the same time not being too crowded.
Next book might be:
L'auberge de l'Ange-Gardien by de Comtesse de Ségur
Les Malheurs de Sophie
Les Petites Filles modèles
Les Vacances

Re: Le groupe français 2016 - 2019 Les Voyageurs
I have a pronunciation/listening comprehension question about this youtube video, at 1:04
The line subtitled "Mais avec chauffeur et tout quoi !" (although he really says "un chauffeur")
The thing is, I absolutely do not hear the v in "avec". I've played this sentence dozens of times now and I'm completely convinced it's not there. It sounds like "Mais a(ve)c un chauffeur" to me. But a native speaker told me "as a French I assure you he did say the ve of avec, it's just soft" so I don't know what to make of that.
The other thing is that the quoi at the end really sounds to me to be pronounced more like /ka/ than /kwa/ but again the same native speaker said "he said quoi properly".
Anyone else have any input? Especially our native French speakers? It's exactly this kind of thing that really gets in the way of my French listening comprehension so I'd like to drill down into it a bit.
