Radio France Internet Radio

This pages gives you access to all the Radio France (e.g. France Inter, France Info, Le Mouv, France Culture) online Internet radio streams (WMA and OGG).

The OGG streams are easy to use.

If you need to use the Windows Media Player you must suffer the embedded player launched by JavaScript. After a bit of hacking, I have figured out the URL you can use to access the streams directly.

Sixty Million Frenchmen Can't Be Wrong (why we love france, but not the french) by Jean Benoit Nadeau

:grin:

Very informative. Easy and engaging to read. Should be kept as a reference when you are trying to figure something out (e.g. which school should my kid go to?).

Confirmed and clarified what I have learned about the French after living here for 20 years. Also learned stuff only my kids knew (e.g. verlan).
