Once forgotten in the British military archives, the 200-year-old love letters finally saw the light of day, thanks to a Cambridge University professor.
It's a feat that hasn't been repeated by a French player since 1983. It's been exactly forty years since Yannick Noah thrilled the crowds at Roland Garros – and audiences across France – when he beat Sweden’s Mats Wilander in the final of the French Open. Our guest for Perspective is Benjamin Rassat, director of the documentary "Noah-ed", which features testimony from the seven competitors the then-23-year-old beat to become France's last home champion for decades.
Before coming to France for the D-Day commemorations this year, K.T. Robbins had one wish: meet with his French love again. He'd met her during the war in a small town in Eastern France.
Forty years ago, on October 15, 1983, a handful of young people set off from the southern French city of Marseille on a long march north to Paris. They were demanding equal rights and a stop to racist crimes blighting France at the time. By the time they reached the French capital on December 3, they were flanked by tens of thousands of demonstrators. FRANCE 24 brings you a special 50-minute documentary looking back at this historic event and its legacy.
Oscar-winning French actress Juliette Binoche sits down with FRANCE 24 to talk about her new film, “The Taste of Things”, which is a love letter to French gastronomy. One of France's most accoladed actresses, she talks about acting opposite her ex-partner Benoit Magimel for the first time in 30 years. Binoche also reminisces about the foodie film that made her an international name, "Chocolat" with Johnny Depp.
