Phantoms, Pigeons and Patriarchy - That’s So French

Pineapple Pizza Podcast

Lindsay closes out our culinary tour of France with urban legends and ghostly tales sure to please the palate. Our apéritif is the haunting parallels between the Phantom of the Opera and the real-life Palais Garnier, then the murderous tales of an Abbey in Normany — Mortemer Abbey. Our petit fours end the evening with the sad tale of Charlotte at Château de Brissac. Murder, murder and more murder? That’s so French.
