Welcome to Passerelle, a podcast designed to spark the curiosity of French learners.

Hi, I'm Emilie, and this week, as usual, I'd like to invite you to take a few minutes to think about something with me.
, .
In each episode, I try to bring you different topics to explore.

My goal is simply to share some food for thought and encourage you to start questioning things in French.
, .
Today, let's talk about birthdays.

It's a ritual that repeats every year, but it speaks volumes.
.
Birthdays mark life's milestones.

I felt like telling you about this because it's been on my mind lately.

October is a bit of a crazy month in my family, since we have a bunch of birthdays in a row.

My husband, my mother, and I are all Libras.
Balance, , .
Libra. It's a star sign, if you're into that sort of thing.

I'll be honest, we didn't do anything special to celebrate.
, .
Spending time together, that's what really matters.
.
But I still treated myself.
.
I got myself a new camera.
, .
I've been wanting to get back into photography for a while, and I've also been thinking about offering you something different from time to time for a change of pace.
YouTube , , .
Why not videos on YouTube? Not sure if it's a good idea, what do you think? The real question we're asking ourselves today is this.
