Ce que je fais à Lisbonne.

Dec 08, 2024

Coucou 😃

Let me ask you something: Do you feel happier when the sun is shining?

I do.

Big time.

In fact, I’ve realized over the years that I’m definitely meteorosensitive (yes, that’s a real word!).

Sunshine lifts my mood, keeps me energized, and makes me feel alive.

That’s why, for the past few years, I’ve made a small but life-changing decision: when winter comes, I pack my bags and head to Portugal.

The sunshine is unbeatable—it’s like a natural boost for my soul.

I get to visit my family, reconnect, and create beautiful memories.

And, honestly, it feels like hitting a reset button every year.

In today’s newsletter, I’m diving into what makes Portugal so special to me, why it’s my go-to winter escape, and the little joys I’ve discovered there.

I think you’ll enjoy this one.

  • Read and listen to the full story here!

Not only will you learn something new about Portugal, but you’ll also get to practice your French while you’re at it.

À bientôt,

Charles

What Supermarkets Taught Me About French Culture
Coucou :) A few years ago, I spent my days cycling through Paris, negotiating with supermarket managers to get our products on their shelves. That experience changed the way I see France. Supermarkets aren’t just places to shop—they reveal hidden secrets about French culture. Take Le Bon Marché. More than a store, it’s a symbol of luxury and tradition. And on my last visit, I had a revelation ...
