The gâteau de crêpes, or crêpe cake, came into my life thanks to pastry chef Claire Heitzler, it’s one of her specialities. A few times a year, she makes a soufflé crêpe cake: with strawberries or mandarin marmalade, depending on the season, but also with a chocolate spread.

But I also came across the crêpe cake when I was in Nice for the kung fu competition, at breakfast time in the hotel on Sunday morning. I came across it during a conversation between two travelling grannies.  This is what this episode is about. 

In the notes that come with the transcript, we’re going to focus on three typical turns of phrase in natural French. These are turns of phrase that we understand, but don’t necessarily pay attention to, and therefore forget to use when we speak. This way, you’ll notice them and be able to use them in your next conversations in French. 

We’re also going to look together at some practical phrases for talking about an Internet search, as I do at the end of the episode.
