In this episode, we welcome Margaret Johnston-Clarke, a woman with a truly bicultural journey, living her life between the United States and France.

She shares what it was like moving to Paris at the age of 7, her childhood memories, the influence of her mother (a writer and culinary expert), and what it means to grow up “between two worlds.” Together, we explore the contrasts between New York and Paris, the famous French art de vivre, the role of gastronomy, and her professional path from NGOs to L’Oréal and Moët & Chandon.

Throughout the conversation, Margaret talks about:

- her Franco-American identity,

- the freedom she found in France,

- clichés (true and false) about the French,

- French gastronomy (from salade niçoise to family meals),

- working in companies that embody French savoir-faire,

- her vision of what truly defines the “art de vivre à la française.”

An inspiring exchange that sheds light on the unique connection between New York and Paris, and what it means to live across two cultures.
