Dependence

Philippe Jacquet tells us

Dependence to alcohol, gambling, drogue or sex can destroy a normal family life. What is it like to be totally hooked? Where does it come from? How can it be treated? We interviewed Philippe Jacquet, psychotherapist, on the subject of dependence and the many ways he uses to treat his patients.

Teenagers

Alcohol and teens: a bad mixture

As a French girl living in London, I was quite surprised to see so many teens hanging around the streets of London on Friday and Saturday nights, completely drunk. It made me wonder- do British "youths" really drink more than French ones? And if so, why? Dr Joffre, a specialist in treating addiction, helps us to answer these questions.

Music

Jane Birkin at the Barbican Hall

On 21st February

This is the London premiere for Jane's new show, with songs from her new album Enfants d'Hiver. She will also include songs that Serge Gainsbourg wrote for her. 2 tickets and 2 CDs to be won!!!

Can France or England win this year’s Six Nations title?

The Six Nations tournament 2009 is about to begin and French and English rugby teams share the same dream: to win and to get back to the top level. Is that possible? Regardless of who will win, this year, be ready for some extraordinary, beautiful and merciless matches!

Literature

Boring French Classics...Think again

It is not always easy to get into French literary classics. Especially if you were traumatized by your French lessons at school by some sadistic teacher who made each class a misery by making you study horrifically boring books... But it is now time to reconcile you with French literature!
