French TV

William Lememyrgie

What is on French TV?

Every morning we watch the daily breakfast show just as you would in the UK. The equivalent to Day Break is Telematin which is broadcast from Paris. The programme presenter is called William Lememyrgie and the show has been presented since 1985. The news casts are presented at 7:00am, 7:30am and 8:00am. They discuss topics such as Culture, Lifestyle, Health and employment, amongst other things.



Some of the topics this morning were the on iphone. On culture they discussed a new trend in the construction of houses.  What they were saying was, creating spaces for healthy children separated from parents is now the current trend.  There is a house constructed in the Paris region were each family member lives in a small tower to protect her privacy, sounds good to me.

There always seems to a lot of art discussed with lots of photos of naked men and women.

Then we have Gourmet, or cooking, and they have the same woman on giving a new recipe. Today is was Duct Breast in salt crust and fig bread, yum yum. Let me tell you, this woman has such a lovely big smile she just brightens up your morning to watch her.

One other thing to note is, when a columnist comes on to discuss his or her topic, they always play an appropriate song to go with the topic being discussed.


So I have to tell you the songs played this morning.

Banana boat song - Harry Belafonte
Three little birds - Bob Marley
Turn on turn in cop out - Freak Power
Ring my bell - Saian Supa Crew
Diamonds and Pearls - Prince
Goldfinger - John barry
My Girl Josephine - Super Cat

So all in all its not a bad start to the day, of not everything is understood, and its a shame because it would give a lot more insight the the French lifestyle.
