From Rick and Ilsa to Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Tolkas, Amélie to Emily, Paris has been home to some of the world’s best—and worst—love stories, real and imagined. Explore the City of Light each week as three writers living in Paris (Chris Newens, Nafkote Tamirat, and Rachel Kapelke-Dale) break down exactly what it means to be in love in Paris.
Merry Christmas! This week, we break our Austrian accents out to bring you the story of Napoleon I and Marie-Louise. What's that? Never heard of her? There may be a reason for that...let's just say that some of the Paris love stories this week have happier endings than others.

Napoleon and Josephine
Welcome to a very special episode: part one of two in our Napoleon Bonaparte series! This week, Nafkote tells us the true story behind Napoleon and Josephine’s relationship. But first, we dive into the phenomenon of the celebrity power couple, trying to hook ourselves up with the ideal matches to dominate the world. Chris and Nafkote refuse to play Rachel’s game of pretending they are Colleen Hoover and insist on playing the role of Zadie Smith. Which was not the game.

Henry V and Catherine de Valois
Give Rachel a history assignment and she will RUN with it. This week on We'll Always Have Paris, she, Nafkote, and Chris discuss The King (2019)--but first, we pitch products to GOOP, run through the Hundred Years' War and the War of the Roses with many an Americanization of place names that the British inventened only to trick people, and cover Shakespeare's Henriad so that we can fully understand the subtleties of why this movie that probably should have worked didn't, quite.
