What is true love? What does it mean to be French? These are just some questions that host Shade Souc explores this season. She's got some interesting perspectives from high-school sweethearts, a self-described polyamorous feminist, and a woman who quit her high-flying job in Paris - for love of course.  More specifically, Shade interviews guests who have lived internationally outside of France. Because, perhaps it's easier to understand about what what makes you French when you're no longer living in France!
