Starting this month, all of our French content is hosted on l'Idée Fixe an we will no longer be doing bilingual blogs "as a matter of course" / A compter de ce mois-ci, nous mettons fin à nos billets bilingues. Toutes nos activités françaises sont dorénavant limitées à notre nouveau portail l'Idée Fixe.
