• La Porte Ouverte in Lyon
  An interview with a volunteer. This association has an office where you can go talk about your problems for free. However, the volunteers are trained not to give advice, but just to listen.

• The Cezanne Museum in Aix
  You can visit Cezannes studio in Aix. Before going, listen to the director explain what you'll see there. This is a very nice interview. The director is a great speaker and has a slight southern accent.
