  • 6.8 The Grande Mosquée de Paris | Hidden History of France's Most Peaceful Courtyard

    6.8 The Grande Mosquée de Paris | Hidden History of France's Most Peaceful Courtyard
    Oct 27 2026

    There is far more to the Grande Mosquée de Paris than mint tea, beautiful courtyards and intricate mosaics.

    In this episode of Coffee Pot Conversations, I explore one of Paris' most peaceful places before uncovering the extraordinary history hidden behind its walls.

    You'll discover why the mosque was built after the First World War, how French colonial politics shaped its creation, the remarkable women whose legacy stretches back to ninth-century Morocco and the courageous role the mosque played during the Nazi occupation of Paris.

    Along the way we explore:

    • The hidden tea gardens of the Grande Mosquée de Paris

    • Fatima al-Fihri and the world's oldest university

    • Why France built the mosque in the 1920s

    • Colonial Morocco and the Rif War

    • The legal loophole that funded the mosque

    • Si Kaddour Benghabrit and wartime resistance

    • The story of Jean Moulin and the French Resistance

    • The myth - and reality - surrounding the mosque's protection of Jewish refugees


    History is rarely simple.

    Paris rarely tells just one story.

    6.7 Is the Flâneur Dead? Psychogeography and the Art of Wandering
    Oct 13 2026

    Is the flâneur dead—or has it simply evolved?

    In Part Two of this exploration into one of Paris's most fascinating cultural figures, I follow the flâneur from the boulevards of nineteenth-century Paris into the modern world of psychogeography, street photography, digital wandering and slow travel.

    Discover how Guy Debord, the Situationist International, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Vivian Maier and Lauren Elkin reshaped our understanding of wandering without purpose. Along the way, I reflect on my own experiences exploring Paris and I ask whether the city still rewards those willing to abandon the map and embrace the unexpected.

    Featuring insights from Professor Federico Castigliano, author of Flâneur: The Art of Wandering the Streets of Paris.

  • 6.6 What is a Flâneur? Baudelaire, Dandies and Walking Through Paris

    6.6 What is a Flâneur? Baudelaire, Dandies and Walking Through Paris
    Sep 22 2026
    What exactly is a flâneur?Is it simply someone who wanders around Paris without a destination? A person with too much time and too little purpose? A literary observer? A dandy? A tourist who has decided not to behave like a tourist?Or has the flâneur become something rather more elevated - almost a status?In this episode of Coffee Pot Conversations, I take a deeper look at the idea of the flâneur, building on my earlier episode about Charles Baudelaire.The story actually began with my own blog. Long before I knew the word flâneur, I had written about what I called a “marché lent” - a slow walk: wandering through Paris without necessarily having anywhere particular to go.Only later did I discover that there was already a word for what I was describing.This episode is an attempt to go further.Rather than simply revisiting Baudelaire, I explore how the idea of the flâneur developed, changed and evolved - from a term associated with idleness and aimless wandering into the celebrated figure of the detached urban observer.And joining me sporadically throughout the episode is Professor Federico Castigliano, Professor of French and Italian Studies and author of Flaneur – The Art of Wandering the Streets of Paris.Together, we explore the history, appearance, behaviour and changing meaning of the flâneur.Perhaps the biggest question is a surprisingly simple one:Can you still be a flâneur today?Or has the modern city made genuine flânerie impossible?Maybe being a flâneur isn't about where you go at all.Maybe it is about how you move through the city.So grab your coffee, leave your destination behind for a while, and come wandering through Paris. Find out more about Federico here https://www.federicocastigliano.com/His book, Flâneur: The Art of Wandering the Streets of Paris can be bought on Amazon and at other good book retailers online and throughout the world.📹 YouTube - ⁠⁠https://youtube.com/@CoffeePotConversations/📷 Instagram - ⁠⁠https://instagram.com/anenglishmaninparisblog/⁠⁠✒️ Blog - ⁠⁠https://anenglishmaninparis.blog/⁠⁠🔗 Links - ⁠⁠https://links.anenglishmaninparis.blog☎️ Message - ⁠https://voicenote.anenglishmaninparis.blog/⁠📧 Email -⁠ ⁠6.6@anenglishmaninparis.blog⁠⁠📣 Shout out - ⁠⁠shoutout@anenglishmaninparis.blog⁠⁠🎂 Birthdays - ⁠⁠birthday@anenglishmaninparis.blog⁠⁠💰 Support - ⁠https://patreon.com/coffeepotconversations⁠☕ Buy Me a Coffee - ⁠https://buymeacoffee.com/anenglishmaninparis⁠⁠ ⁠Introduction (00:24)News (04:25)Coffee Pot Conversation (12:39)Conclusion (32:07)Coming Up (42:57)Coming Up - Part 2 (44:10)Outro (46:04)Pre-Ending (46:39)
