Consider this an audio postcard from my first vacation in 13 years. I travel a lot for my other job (as a science correspondent on Innovation Nation for CBS) so I am out of practice on jet-setting for the sake of pure fun. But Jarrett’s family was headed to France so we cashed in some points and tagged along. Join me for some weird stuff I googled on the road, from pastry wars to royal cosplay, wax death masks, angry mobs, filming locations, things you can’t collect in a park and eat, how to get along with French waiters, what to do if a loved one starts sobbing in public, one of the best ways to see Paris, cider that tastes like flowers, a theme park with a hidden agenda, and the fall fashion trends that were confusingly ubiquitous. Also, how to wash socks in the sink. Let’s go to France. A donation went to<a href="https://mothertreeproject.org/"> </a><a href="https://carbonfund.org/">CarbonFund.org</a>Other episodes you may enjoy: <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/fieldtripnhm">Field Trip: Natural History Museum</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/traveltips">Minisode: Travel Tips</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/foragingecology">Foraging Ecology (EATING WILD PLANTS)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/indigenouscuisinology">Indigenous Culinology (NATIVE COOKING)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/headbutts">Bovine Neuropathology (HEADBUTTING)</a>, <a href="https://alieward.com/ologies-sponsors">Sponsors of Ologies</a><a href="https://alieward.com/ologies-extras">Transcripts and bleeped episodes</a><a href="https://alieward.com/smologies">Smologies (short, classroom-safe) episodes</a><a href="https://www.patreon.com/ologies">Become a patron of Ologies</a> for as little as a buck a month<a href="https://www.ologiesmerch.com/">OlogiesMerch.com</a> has hats, shirts, masks, totes!Follow @Ologies on<a href="https://twitter.com/ologies"> Twitter</a> and<a href="https://www.instagram.com/ologies"> Instagram</a>Follow @AlieWard on<a href="https://www.twitter.com/alieward"> Twitter</a> and<a href="https://www.instagram.com/alieward"> Instagram</a>Sound editing by<a href="https://www.jarrettsleeper.com/"> Jarrett Sleeper</a> of<a href="https://www.mindjammedia.com/"> MindJam Media</a>Transcripts by Emily White of<a href="https://www.thewordary.com/"> The Wordary</a>Website by<a href="https://www.kellyrdwyer.com/photo"> Kelly R.
