Pearl Lam (林明珠) and Judith Benhamou discuss how French culture conquered the world. They explore topics which include the Americanisation of French culture, and ‘The Emily in Paris Effect’.
For Benhamou, the art of being French transcends mere nationality: it embodies an openness of mind and a dedication to cultural enrichment without being “shallow”. Benhamou’s approach is characterised by directness and an uncensored perspective, held together with passion and intellectual curiosity.
