In this episode of "One Thing In A French Day," I reflect on the 5-year anniversary of France's first COVID lockdown. I share my experience looking back through podcast archives from March 2020, rediscovering forgotten details of our daily life during confinement: the unchanging beautiful weather, stress while grocery shopping, playing with my daughters in the neighborhood, and the scent of poplar trees.
I invite you to revisit the first episode of my lockdown diary and share your own memories from this unique period. Perfect for French learners who want to practice listening comprehension while exploring personal reflections on a shared global experience. Subscribers receive the full transcript plus a special "petit plus" activity.
