Ep 48 - Navigating “Garant” with Gail Boisclair

The English words warranty and guarantee both come from the French garantie, but French has a word English doesn't: garant. To explore what this word means, Emily is joined by fellow PUR host Gail Boisclair. Her work as a property manager in Paris will help us shine a light on how the necessity of a garant reflects an innate French trust in people over data... and a bit of a tendency to resist change.parisundergroundradio.com/parisestateofmindperfectlyparis.comJoin us on Patreon: patreon.com/parisundergroundradioFind Us OnlineWebsite: https://www.parisundergroundradio.com/navigatingthefrenchFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/parisundergroundradioInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/parisundergroundradio/Credits- Host: Emily Monaco. @Emily_in_France; Website: http://www.tomatokumato.com and http://www.emilymmonaco.comProducer: Jennifer Geraghty. @jennyphoria; Website: http://jennyphoria.comMusic CreditsÉdith Piaf - La Vie en Rose (DeliFB Lofi Remix)🎵 MSKD Sounds:↪︎https://www.instagram.com/mskd_sounds/↪︎https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRql...↪︎https://soundcloud.com/mskd_sounds🎵 DeliFB:↪︎https://www.youtube.com/c/DeliFB↪︎https://soundcloud.com/delifb↪︎https://www.instagram.com/cativo.kevin/↪︎https://twitter.com/DeliciousFBAbout UsFrom one Emily in Paris to another... just speaking French isn't enough to understand the intricacies of the locals, but it's definitely a good place to start.
